Anyone else watch Bissouma today and wonder who else can do that if he was out or needing a rest?
Bentancur maybe but he’s probably an 8 in this system

Bissouma had me thinking it was Moose out there today
If Hojbjerg goes we really need to find a proper #6 solution imo. Sarr actually could possibly be that in the future, but he’s not ready.
If we block his development with another established player then he won't be ready. Having young talents as backups is fine.
No one could do it as good. Bentancur probably our best bet.
Bigger worry for me is who covers for Maddison.
Lo Celso can cover Maddison.
Lo Celso is great Maddison cover, as he's shown in pre-season.
The more I see Sarr in this system, the more I think you waste him as a 6.
I think we need a younger 6 with the Hojberg. money. Lavia would have been perfect. I bet there are options out there though.
Everything Ndomele was meant to be.
Quite looking forward to Bentancur, Bissouma and Maddison together
Don't sign an 8 top block him.
Sign a 6 to take the pressure off Biss imo.
Maybe if you can get Eze he can play on the wing as well, so you get him as a 10 but no need to sign an 8 imo.
How are you watching this? I can't find streams anywhere
Dier seems pretty ethical in his views. I doubt even he'd go there.
yeah seen it was posted earlier but no confirmation so assume it's made up
Some notes on the first half:
Orban is short. 5'10" is generous. I would call him closer to 5'9" maybe even 5'8.5". As an aerial target they don't even aim for him. Will definitely not be in the box defending corners.
But not small... the word I would use is compact. Has some strength to him, really stocky legs, very low centre of gravity. He's not Manor Solomon he's much more Aguero. Short legs but powerful ones.
Playing as furthest forward in something like a 3-5-2, I know stats say he's playing off the left but he doesn't really stay wide, Cuypers drops into midfield and Orban is almost always ahead of him. Think Son with Kane. Constantly making runs in behind, constantly looking for the space.
Doesn't like aerial or physical duels. His MO is to use one touches or lay-offs, he doesnt want to jockey and hold off defenders. However, played three very nice chipped passes in behind one leading to a near goal. When he drops deep he is good at dribbling and passing, though kind of slow decision making.
More to come.

Laughable comment based on three games against shite teams.
He is not proven as a creator in the PL. That's a fact.
I rate him as a squad option but I would not be happy to rely on him in Madder's absence for an extended period of time. We need better.
