I don't get what you're saying in the last paragraph.
Other than run powerfully, I genuinely don't see what he brings to the team. Whatever happens on Tuesday we are going to need gifted players (quite obviously playing at the highest stage in club football) who can keep the ball, play with composure and in the case of Sisssoko or whoever plays in his stead, create or score goals. For me, he really isn't good enough for us even coming on at home to Bournemouth let alone away to Madrid.
Tbh he looked superb yesterday.Probably best I’ve seen in a spurs shirt.Real will be vulnerable to counter attack.It would be a risk but I’d play him.Whatever you say he has over 50 caps for France.And clearly likes a big stage as euros showed.
