I know he's not the finished article but I think we look so much better with Bissouma in the team alongside Stephens instead of Propper.
Earlier in the season when Bissouma played he was playing in Gross' role but I'm not sure that suited him.
Having him play instead of Propper (today and Newcastle 2nd half) seems to work really well. He can drive with the ball from deeper and it puts us on the front foot.
Whilst I think it's obvious we need more in midfield I personally wouldn't be unhappy with a Stephens/Bissouma partnership next year.
