Completely useless right now.
He can pass nicely against the crap teams however against any half decent opposition his lack of attacking and defending get shown up.
Deep lying playmakers don't provide killer balls, how many times do you see Modric making that final pass for the forward to finish.
A playmaker by definition is:
His two best games for us were a 3-1 win against Real Madrid and a 4-1 win against Liverpool, so I don't think I agree with that. His role is to maintain the ball, recycle possession, control the tempo - and he shines when we set out to take the game to 'big teams'.
Lost count of the amount of times he was receiving the ball from a defender then aimlessly smashing the ball straight to a Liverpool midfielder.
He put us under immensely needless pressure time and time again.
There is absolutely no way Winks starts for us when our best XI is available. He’s a liability.
Well said. Put us under pressure every fucking time he had the ball. I thought Winks was supposed to shine in big games? Or that was the majority of people defending him is saying at least. Because then he can receive the ball and keep it and let us play out of the pressure.
What a lot of absolute bollocks!
He was so shit against Bayern and the same now against Liverpool. The love for him has to stop. Squad player
He shines when we try to take the game to the opposition. Receiving the ball, keeping it, moving it on - we know he can do it, but when we set up like that he’s just not got any good options because we’d let ourselves get blocked in to our own third.
He’s not suited to being a defensive midfielder in a team that sits back and soaks up pressure. Starting him in games where we want to play that way is the wrong decision, absolutely - but if we’re going to show some adventure and get at the opposition, he’ll do well.
Well you keep telling yourself that. He's not shining in anything at the moment, and havn't for a long time.
By you he should shine when we're playing lesser teams at home. Ehh no.
That's exactly where his limits come to light.
