Winks is great. Extremely mobile, keeps the ball moving and offers great work rate, we’ve seen his ability at places like the Nou Camp and the Bernabau. Currently struggling in our mess of a midfield setup but I really rate him, never going to be a world class midfielder but I do think he could hit Carrick level. Very underrated on here because he’s not flashy, but for England the other night you could see the difference a player with his skill set can make for a team.
Dier needs replacing, 100%. But if we consider Lo Celso as an AM then that’s all I think we require. Winks and Ndombele with a competent defensive midfielder doing donkey work is a very decent midfield, so from that perspective I’d say that area needs work but a mess? I don’t think so. Under current management yes because nobody is being played to their strengths.
Sissoko is a good squad player. Mobile, opens up space with his runs, gives everything for the team and physically is so hard to deal with. He shouldn’t be starting for us (and hopefully won’t be by the end of the season) but I’m happy with him in the squad. Just don’t bother shooting, ever.
