Jermaine Jenas says £25m Tottenham player has lost all of his confidence now
Tottenham Hotspur have had a truly terrible season, and that continued at the weekend as they dropped more points against West Ham.
Ange Postecoglou is likely to be sacked by Spurs, and the sooner this season is over, the better.
Tottenham will really want to put this term behind them, as will a number of Spurs’ players.
Indeed, a number of Spurs players have had truly dreadful campaigns.
Heung-Min Son has been criticised this season, while Cristian Romero hasn’t been great recently either.
Speaking on TalkSPORT, Jermaine Jenas has been discussing Yves Bissouma’s performances this season, and he says the midfielder has lost all of his confidence at Tottenham this term.
Yves Bissouma has lost his confidence
Jenas spoke about Bissouma and how he’s performed this season.
The pundit reckons the £25m man has lost his confidence this season, noting that he only plays backwards passes at the moment.
“Bissouma, he has the ability to do it, but for some reason, he’s lost all of his confidence on the ball and he only plays backwards,” Jenas said.
“I think the start of his career at Tottenham was good, then he had a couple of sendings off, and he never came back from those sendings off, really silly ones. Then he’s had off the pitch incidents that haven’t gone down well at the club.
Yves Bissouma stats compared to last season
Bissouma has been off the boil this season, as Jenas says, and the stats do reflect that.
Bissouma has hardly been the most progressive passer throughout his career, but the stats do show he’s taking fewer risks this season, playing fewer key passes and attempted less long balls too.
For one reason or another, Bissouma isn’t playing with the freedom he once was at Tottenham.
Bissouma has been linked with a move away from Spurs in recent times, and, at this point, that may be best for all parties.
The Mali international was touted as an exciting signing when he first arrived in north London, but, sadly, things just haven’t worked out for the former Brighton man at Spurs.
