Needs upgrading this summer.
Okay as a bench option, pretty woeful as the defensive shield in front of our CBs.

If he's content to be a rotational player, sure. Otherwise any good fee for him in the summer I will surely consider. Definitely not on my list of starters anymore now. He can't complain. Expectation and throughout don't measure up.
He’s shit
He’s not shit, he just has the mentality of a typical Tottenham player. When the game is easy he looks good. When the game is tough, he withers.
We can say the same thing about almost all our players.

His opposite no6 today shows you the level we need to progress this team.
Wonder what
bus-conductor
is gonna say about his performance, probably some mental gymnastics on how he was just unlucky today or something.

I don’t think he’s a number 6. More of an 8 but then he doesn’t really fit there either. He’s no DM if that’s what we expect of him.
Useful as a squad player, but we have plenty of those.

Was thinking the same, think he may work better as a squad/rotation option in a 8 role . This season has given me good insight as to why conte didn't fancy him much. In his ultra defensive team, bissouma wouldn't really work,
I said after the Palace game that he wasn’t good enough. At this point, not a starter. I’d rather see Hjolberg cover the back four.
We need a better 6. If we're going to play this type of football we need a real commanding, calming presence in that role and that isnt Bissouma.
It’s definitely mentality. I’ve said it before, at Brighton you can lose games and it doesn’t matter. It’s Brighton. At those clubs the pressure to perform consistently has to come from within yourself.
Here there is a different pressure and he doesn’t look up to it. Back in the early Klopp era players like Van Dijk and Mane stepped up to Liverpool from Southampton seamlessly because they had a top mentality. Ditto Toby and Wanyama to us (before his knee exploded). Bissouma isn’t cut from the same cloth.
Just compare Paulinha tonight with Bissouma. One was determined to win, one wasn’t. You have to be ready to die for the result and I just don’t get that feeling from Bissouma. For every strong tackle there is a brain dead pass/touch or a failure to pay attention.
I'd rather see pretty much any other carbon based life form play than Bissouma. He's shite

Wonder what
If I was you I’d get yourself over to your boy Kulusevski’s thread quick sharp, there’s going to be people needing you to tell them how fucking spunktastic he is.
It was either that or some weak ass deflection, classic
I guess you’d know. Maybe why you tagged me in here and not in Kulusevski’s thread.
total wank today.
