if we were actually in a semi decent position youd sell the pair and try get ederson from atalanta with the dough.

so true.Imagine expecting a clown that films himself huffing balloons to be your midfield general.
Not a top ten midfielder either.
We’re not a top 4 team unless that point went over your head. In fact, I’d go as far as saying zero of our team get into any of the top 1-6 teams in the league
There’s a reason we got him for £29m and no other top club was interested in taking him .
As I said in the match thread, it doesn’t matter who the DM is in this system they will get exposed and look awful because the manager is asking so much of them. First half it was him last night, second bentancur and they both looked poor (it isn’t even bentancur’s position anyway but that’s another story).
The are basically a one man midfield asked to cover an impossible amount of space. Go watch MOTD2’s analysis of it after the Leicester defeat and it illustrates it perfectly.
They honestly don’t stand a chance. The other two midfielders bomb forward so that when the opposition easily move the ball through their press the DM has more than one player to deal with (and that’s before even mentioning the fullbacks being isolated because the wingers are so high and wide away from goal when we lose the ball). It’s the tactics and system.
Bissouma was marginally better than Bentancur and they were both horrible. Get them gone.
