Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

[DCSPUR64]

It's pretty easy to treat these days, though, isn't it? 2 weeks if it's caught early and treated properly. We might get him back earlier than if he played the whole tournament.

When I was in Bali. I got the Bali fever, same sort of sickness, I was up and running in 10 days.

Ah good old Balaria

Love Biss , he’s a terrific player but I think his discipline issues this season have tipped the scales to him being fairly firmly 4th choice behind Bentancur, Sarr & Maddison when all are fit, however we can adapt depending on the opposition and play Biss as 6 when we need more physicality and breaking of the lines and then can move Bentancur to 8 instead of Sarr, will be an incredible 4 options to have when all are fit.

That and his tendency to hold onto the ball too long when dribbling.

Bentancur, Sarr and Bissouma are 3 excellent options for 2 positions though and "who to pick" is and excellent headache to have.

He still has a huge part to play

if we had a cup final tomorrow and everyone was fit and available, i think bissouma starts. does need to step it up though when he's back.

 

[kernowspurscoach1977]

I 100% believe we will see a far better bissouma when he has real quality around him.
I think our strongest back 4 with biss lolo and Maddison in midfield you will see biss play at his best.

 

[McFlash]

Zokora.

Yeah and I'm sure I remember reading on here from the Zokora days, that there are different forms of Malaria and the one he had never really goes away and can flare up from time to time?

 

[HNIM]

On the subs bench today for Mali.

On the subs bench today for Mali

The commentator when announcing the team said.
"Yves Bissouma, who could not make the squad today with hints that he could have malaria"
I think they just name the squad as potential subs.

 

[Jaddas]

Bissouma has just come on for Mali in the 83rd minute, so can't be malaria. They are drawing 1-1 at the moment.

He’s really missed Maddison I think. No surprise he’s not been great since the Chelsea game. Hopefully he steps it up when he comes back like you say.

 

[alfiemacdaddy]

So he came on at 84 mins yesterday. The malaria rumour untrue then?

Pretty sure their manager confirmed it was true.

Positive that he was able to play a few mins if it was malaria

 

[SpursSince1980]

Sounds like whatever he has is relatively minor.

 

[ButchCassidy]

Mali play today, but based on the results so far I believe they are already guaranteed to go through to the knockouts.

Can we all refrain from posting scores from the AFCON.

This thread is strictly about Bissouma and malaria.

Thanks.

In fact I think we should start a thread just for posting football scores and if anyone puts a football score in any other thread it should be an immediate ban and an evening with A&C and his stick.

It’s a football forum
