Winks is a good player with huge potential, but he also has a lot to learn. I thought that he had a poor game against Bournemouth and it showed what he needs to work on to become a regular starter. It became a bit too safe and slow with Winks, Dier, Toby and Sanchez and Poch had to change formation to get Eriksen deeper to up the tempo. Winks was a bit invisible in the second half and we looked a lot better.
I would like to see Winks learn from Eriksen(and a bit from Sissoko). I think that Winks can learn to dictacte the tempo luch better and add vertical movement and passing to his game. That run from deep from Eriksen when he scored is exactly those kind of runs Winks need to add to his game. It’s very difficult to open up teams that park the bus with two modfielders that aren’t a threat at all. It’s a good opportunity to get forward when Eriksen comes deep and it opens up some faster one touch/one-two passing.
Winks can definitely be a regular starter if he can develop his offensive game.
Just shows how we see things differently. Obviously he has a lot to learn and he is in the right place to achieve his aspirations. As I posted previously he was my MOM on Saturday based on overall play (although Hugo's save was match winning). A view held by a number of the supporters around me. If our views were all the same (or spent all our time trawling the internet to find some facts to support our views) how boring life would be.
