Really hoping we start to see more and more of him. I’m guessing he’s being used sparingly right now as he’s still returning from a nasty injury.

Never had any doubts about Winks, always knew he'd get back to his best and that's starting to happen now. Last 20 vs Barca and his 20 min cameo last night are evidence of that.

He's gonna be one of our most important players once he gets a regular place back in the first 11.

I'm not sure about 'knew he'd get back to his best' because of the injuries and you never know

But those last 2 examples you gave do indeed show what a wonderful player we have and (If he can stay fit) what a fantastic talent and star he can become

Lets just keep everything crossed for a while!

Maybe this is an unrealistic expectation but I would like to see him have more passes into the attacking midfield group rather than the defenders or the defensive midfielder. If he can achieve that statistic that would be ideal for the team.

Not a knock on the kid just how I would like to see the ball progress. We pass so freakin much to the fullbacks who just pass it backwards, drives me crazy.

I would love to see a more progressive central midfield pair than Dier and Dembele.

Winks and Skipp would be worth a try in the early rounds of the cup competitions.

Modric mark 2 if he stays fit
He plays in the same mould, quick thinking, picks a pass, quick feet in tight areas.
‘Could’ be a world beater

Winks has never been a creative passer, so if you're looking for a guy to pick out men with raking passes or thread through balls it won't really happen. Unless you mean him just be more involved linking up in the attacking areas

Not sure it’s about being brave I think he is now definitely in our best xi just think he still being nursed a bit. Honestly think we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg . I firmly believe in a year he will be in Kane dele bracket and a crucial member of our and England team.

I want him to quickly link defense to attack. I want him to be able to pick the ball up from the defenders and be able to advance it into Eriksen, Dele, Kane, etc quickly. We move the ball so slow it drives me crazy.

Appreciate PSV were really crap tonight but Winks was outstanding playing effectively on his own in midfield, in the champions league, again (see Madrid away last year).

Really surprised me with all the different facets to his game tonight, his surprisingly quick, feisty, can obviously pass the ball and he bloody loves spurs.

Should be an automatic choice for us and England (just not next week).

Still not nearly consistent enough for me, he shows small glimpses like today but I've still never seen him get anywhere near taking a game by the scruff of the neck and dominating it, has much to do to win me over in the same way he seems loved by many.
How'd he do tonight?

Did he dominate enough for you?
