I don't get the praises .. really what did he do ?
Can't control noting never an option in atteck
Not pressing like a maniac just the occasion good slide good tackle .
People compere him to makelele ? Ok people are hopeful I got it I use to hope that but not anymore .
We are bad and I think we become bad as soon as he and sisoko pairing got introduce
So who is to blame ?
Sorry you're wrong (in my view).
Winks has the potential to be Makelele-like with a lot of further development. Nobody knew or noticed what Makelele did, but he was always first on the team sheet.
Winks and Sissoko took us through large parts of last season when we finished 4th.
Fulham?
It looks like Ndombele may be the Sissoko upgrade. A pairing of him and Winks is exciting (doubly so if Eriksen stays).
So who is to blame ?

What does he do? What does he do? Try unzipping the gimp mask and you might see.
Doing what he always does, absolutely not a surprise at all.What on earth is Xhaka doing?
Or come the New Year Ndombele, Lo Celso, Winks and Dybala.The way he defends our box, perfection yesterday. Such a tidy player.
Winks Ndombele Lo Celso and Eriksen. Just fucking wait.

Personally I liked his performance because it seemed like he was the only one who matched arsenals intensity and looked like he wanted to win as much as their players
Other than that I thought he was about as good as usual, tidy and safe but one or two good forward runs
He's being covered. Football isn't a game of chess with the pieces only allowed to move in certain directions. When a CB gets pulled out wide, someone else should be dropping into the position to cover it. Same with almost every position, you want your forwards rotating, Kane spinning wide and/or dropping deep. It's these movements that break-down teams and makes them hard to track. It's exacly what we should be doing.This right here is why Winks should NOT be our DM. Look at how excellent this bit of play is. The issue is, he's supposed to be our DM, and if he loses the ball in this area we're goosed on the counter attack with no protection for our back four.
Put him in the team where he can have the peace of mind to attack like this without the defensive responsibilities he currently has and he would flourish into a top top player, IMO.
