Pape Matar Sarr

Sarr is gonna be our most important player
He's not faultless but on balance he's probably been our best and most consistent midfielder. Of all of our current CMs he's the one I think most likely to be desired by the likes of City, Real, Barca etc.

He will just progress more and more
He has athletic ability and an awareness that combined with his technical side (which will improve) he will just get better
On teletext I was on a thread about onana… I can imagine a Sarr Onana midfield being hard to get away from

I'm starting to think any Bissouma replacement CDM signing needs to be at a minimum tall and athletic, Some kind of beast. I know we all want some kind of Modric 'lite' to take the ball of the CBs but we really seem to lack someone to shield the defence properly and also provide some physicality from set pieces etc. Obviously the better passer the better but plenty of successful sides have had CDMs that defend first and offload the ball to their teammates quickly

Nah for the Ange system the DM definitely needs to be competent with the ball. Not necessarily a deep lying playmaker but someone who can do more a quick offload to a teammate. Ideally we want some with a quick switch pass, that would make so much difference to our play, it would be literally night and day. I'm. Or sure of Ange wants that but at the very least he wants some who can play the give like you suggest but also receive so they need to be a tech ically comfortable player to function in this system.
 
Perhaps he should be Vicario's bodyguard when we're defending corners.
Maddison did that one when he came back in
Doesn’t need to be a big man
Just someone who will do it
And I say that as someone who doesnt think that helps needed if Vicario does his job better
 
much prefer the old rules where touching the keeper without playing the ball would be a foul
its also infringement for an unfair advantage leading up to a goal which would apply to VAR rules
 
Watching him play for most of last season its hard to believe he is only 21, his form dropped a bit towards the end but that is normal for one so young.
His form dipped when he was fasting
That’s something that has to be considered by Ange specially with the intensity we play at
 
Of course

But I’m not sure how even a super fit athlete can last without eating at this level

Depending on what sort of muslim he is. It's either dawn till dusk or 06:00 to 18:00. Also depends on whether he even abides by the rules.

Not ideal and would have an effect. But it's not starvation.

Well he did this season for sure
So did Bissouma
It was commented on at one game when they had an informal break and they took on the energy gels
