There isn't loads of difference. Start of the season all our players looked better because we were playing a new brand of football, winning games and the opposition hadn't figured out ways to make things hard for us. Subsequently they have, lots of our players are looking a bit less super duper, but we are still doing pretty well, Bissouma is still the same player with the same assortment of decent qualities.

It can be a it of both.
And how do you know Bissouma's just exhausted? And why should be exhausted after just a few months?
Teams often do in fact smarten up against better (possession) teams as the season(s) go by as they're figuring out how to stop certain players - by, for example, giving Bissouma less space to operate in than he used to.
The 2nd season "syndrome" is a known thing in football.
PS! I would like to keep Bissouma unless Spurs are offered ridiculous for him.
Apparently he’s 5 ft 6. So no chance he’s coming to play in the PL for us
Probably not.
See that Transermarkt label him a centreforward, but can also see from other info that he has played as a midfielder.
Seems to be a good distributor of goals and assists
Yet never a bad word said about him by those inside the game who know, manage or play with him
That's just the kind of guff he'd come up with
Remember several on here wetting their knickers over a post of his claiming that behind the scenes everyone in the club had been blown away by Veliz and believed he would be leading the line by now.
Bloke chats shit and has a very dedicated army of weirdos that hang off his every word
How these people function in day to day life puzzles me
It’s a shame we didn’t appear to have tried harder for him. Going to Bournemouth makes sense for his development.
Disagree.
Loved his passion for the club, but as a player considering what we signed him to be, he was just average. He got 17 PL goals in 177 appearances… no matter what way you dress it up that’s crap.
And even aside from injuries, he made nearly 300 appearances for the club and flattered to deceive in the vast majority of them.
If we don't sign Oblak, Tapsoba, A. Davies, Kimmich, Simons & Mbappe on 900k pw each...then we haven't shown ambition.
Simples!
Exhausted?!
He's a professional athlete. With the body to prove it.
He barely played last year.
Missed a fair chunk this year through silly suspensions and al.
Yeah yeah yeah he had malaria etc etc.
So I'm sorry but I don't buy the he's exhausted. If that's really the answer, we'll it's got nothing to do with his football but his private life.
Don’t want Oblak or Kimmich really.
Simons would be a great pick up
#Basil is a good one.
He’s hitting, the Gardeners, the Amateur Chefs, and the Faulty Towers fans all in one tweet.
Useless for the Swiss football club that Salah played for but much better for Engagement
Brentford need to sell him.
What are you expecting them to say?
The over reaction / excitement on here when we plucked Manor Solomon out of the bargain bin was one of the funniest things last summer
Really?
Remember much excitement. People said he could be a handy option and before his injury that’s all he was.
erm, Bisssouma IS supposed to be a DM in this system, he certainly doesn't have the qualities to be a no 8 or no 10.
He's good defensively too, he just needs a cover option and to get more used to the role. It's probably the most demanding role he's had in his career.
