So yesterday Jose tells us he doesn't see Sissoko as a CM and today he starts them there leaving one summer signing on the bench and the other out of the squad?
Winks isn't even in the squad either, bizarre.
Winks got a bad knock to his ankle in the last game. Ndombele is not properly fit.
Jose did say that while he didn’t really see Sissoko as a centre midfielder, he would play there at times due to circumstances. Today is one of those days. At least Dier is there which is what matters for the team structure.
I’m happy that Jose is selecting the same defence game after game, we need consistency there. Lucas is very lucky to be starting though, he has to do so much more.
