The thing is, a lot of us have in the past moaned over Pochettinos stubbornes with Winks + Sissoko in midfield. I don't feel like it ever has really clicked. Anyway, let's all jump aboard the crazy train with cozy Mou.

The team is spot on apart from Sissoko ahead of Ndombele. I just think Tanguy would have helped us to control possession better.

Sissoko and Winks....really hope Ndombele and GLC become fixtures in the side. They offer so much more than Sissoko.

Poch was trying to play Winks as a 6 with Sissoko the right side of a diamond or midfield 3 with either Eriksen or Ndombele on the left. I expect them to be playing as a 2 man midfield today. Since Sissoko was always getting pulled out wide before and Ndombele/Eriksen tended to push up, Winks was left on his own in the center of the park. In the 4-2-3-1, Sissoko will be able to support Winks better defensively and I think it can work, especially with the front 4 being able to provide both width and passing targets between the lines. I think JM wants the industry off the ball more right now than attacking qualities out of his CMs.
