This is what some people thought about Mason during Poch's first season, only to be dislodged by Dembele the next season. It will be interesting to see which of our CMs hold down regular starting spots next season, once all of Bentancur, Sarr & Bissouma are fit simultaneously for an extended period of time.Sarr is the heart beat of our new team guys! Everything just drops off a cliff when he leaves the pitch.
I have to disagree with this, although not the prettiest on the eye, Sarr has plenty to offer going forward. Sissoko could only dream of that assist against Bournemouth for Maddison and his goal in the home game. Sarr’s energy in midfield is like having 2 players allowing the full backs to play the inverted role. In our bad run of form, I believe sarr was injured from the wolves game. I was at the Newcastle game when we ended that run and it was evident how much our team missed him. He was everywhere on the pitch that day.This is what some people thought about Mason during Poch's first season, only to be dislodged by Dembele the next season.

Sarr offers a lot to the team, but he's not technically the most gifted (although he does have a few years to catch up with the other two). He helps the team to effectively transition on turnovers, but once into the final third, his technique and decision making are often found slightly lacking - in both of these respects he's slightly reminiscent of Dembele and Sissoko.
I rate him highly overall, but if we're directly comparing his ability in the final third to Maddison, Son, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Lo Celso etc., he comes last imo.I have to disagree with this, although not the prettiest on the eye, Sarr has plenty to offer going forward.

Dembele though was a limited player. Impossible to get the ball off him but his goal scoring and his passing were always disappointing.I rate him highly overall, but if we're directly comparing his ability in the final third to Maddison, Son, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Lo Celso etc., he comes last imo.
It's worth noting that Dembele, who I compared him to, is one of my all-time favourite players. I also think a lot of our fans were overly critical of Sissoko (as they were with Emerson Royal for a while).
Sarr is the heartbeat of the team. All teams need a player like him. Look at someone like Jordan Henderson, not the best or most technical but Liverpool missed him when he wasn’t there during their heyday when they won lge and champ lge.This is what some people thought about Mason during Poch's first season, only to be dislodged by Dembele the next season.

His passing wasn't disappointing? He very rarely gave the ball away.Dembele though was a limited player. Impossible to get the ball off him but his goal scoring and his passing were always disappointing.
He wasn't very progressive with his passing though. He was wonderful with moving with the ball through the midfield but generally he did nothing with it after that.His passing wasn't disappointing? He very rarely gave the ball away.
I believe he will improve in the final third with more experience and coaching. He could potentially become one of the very best in the world in his position, I really believe that.There is a LOT more to playing a box-to-box role than assists and goals.
What Sarr offers is kind of the glue that binds the team together - linking the defenders with the players who offer assists and goals. He plays that role better than anyone else in the squad.
Yes some players may be more technical or creative, particularly in the final third, but nobody embodies the important parts of the BtB CM like Sarr. And a good CM has a combination of parts not 3 of the same type player.
That wasn't his role though. He was expected to break lines and move the ball to the more creative players, such as Eriksen.He wasn't very progressive with his passing though. He was wonderful with moving with the ball through the midfield but generally he did nothing with it after that.
I know but he also wasn't really capable of more than he did. He was elite at breaking the lines but pretty average at everything else. That is why I think he is wildly overrated in here by some and I say that as someone who really loved him as a player.That wasn't his role though.

Like waiting for your first date when you're in your early teens.cant wait to see him Saturday
No, he was unreal. He was the fulcrum and heart beat of the best team I have seen at spurs the 16/17 season. Our team fell apart when he started to get persistent injuriesDembele was good but he's still getting better on here.
