'Not good enough' - King calls for Tottenham 'Disappointment' to be axed v Manchester City

Bryan King has called for Yves Bissouma to be axed when Manchester City visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday (30 October).

The ex-Spurs scout wants to see Rodrigo Bentancur start in the Mali international’s place.

Bissouma started over Bentancur as Ange Postecoglou’s side were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace in the Premier League at Selhurst Park on Sunday (27 October).

And King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – was not impressed by the midfielder’s performance.

“I can see where Postecoglou’s problems are at the moment, going forward and in midfield,” King said.

“I’m mystified by that performance against Palace, the players are just not good enough. I’d make a change in central midfield if I were Postecoglou, I think Bentancur should be brought in and Bissouma dropped. He was a disappointment against Palace.

“Alongside Bentancur, I’d start with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

“Going forward, I’d have Brennan Johnson and if Son Heung-min returns he will take Mikey Moore’s place. In terms of Richarlison and Dominic Solanke, I’d still start with Solanke. I don’t think Richarlison has done enough to earn a start.”

Rodrigo Bentancur to start over Yves Bissouma for Tottenham v Manchester City?

Bissouma has been starting over Bentancur in the Premier League as of late. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Bentancur return for the Carabao Cup.

Postecoglou needs to make changes, but he won’t want to make too many, as another defeat could cause unrest among supporters in North London.

Spurs fans are desperate for a trophy, and the Carabao Cup is a realistic chance to win one. Therefore, Postecoglou needs to take this game and competition seriously.

Starting Bentancur over Bissouma could be seen as a like-for-like change. However, any more rotation could significantly disrupt the team.

In other Tottenham news, the North London club and Chelsea both want to sign an Arsenal player.
