[Tifo IRL] Why the Premier League is perfect for Ange Postecoglou
tl;dr it's all about the ball carrying, and we've got players who are excellent at resisting the press and carrying the ball.
I've been looking at Bissouma's stats.
I don't think people realise just how good he is. Especially for the Premier League at this time.
I compared him to Bellingham, Enzo Fernández, Rodri, Casemiro, Rice. Here's what I found:
He is top for tackles won, dribblers tackled, interceptions, successful take-ons, progressive carries.
In other words, he's the best in the Premier League at getting the ball off the opposition, resisting pressure, and surging forward.
Bissouma's FBRef possession stats. They are crazy good.
The only area he's lacking is in dispossessions and miscontrols.
