..."sometimes" he says charitably.

Think that on occasions he comes up with a moment of brilliance doing much the same. I'm finding more often than not he is running into defenders though.

Friend fucked up by not giving a yellow to Prowse. Dembele is a yellow waiting to happen now

Is Aurier afraid to take his man on? Just seems static in possession and looking to keep bringing it back on his left for an in-swinger.

I know that we shouldn't really berate any players on our books, but I'd really like to know (a) why Sissoko, in the first place, is even on our books and (b) why does he start over other players who are fit, available and better than him in the same position that he plays at.

Dembele is just that one step less sharp than he used to be, probably why he’s frustrated and also why he’s messing up his tackles

Aurier feet have to wait for his brain.so slow to move the ball but has taken up some fantastic positions just need to be more instinctive

You notice no one else comments on his good play?
He’s always been decent in the middle third he just has no composure when he needs to pass, shoot or do anything mildly creative in the final third

We've got your up our work rate and fight in the middle of the park, they're out battling us, sharper and quicker to a loose ball!!

Need to solidify the middle of the park - which considering we have Dier and Dembele in there speaks volumes about how poor they've been in screening the backline.

Wanyama please
