Re Cuisance French sports news:
Michaël Cuisance’s (21) consistently subpar performances have been one of the more perplexing trends of Ligue 1 2020/21 - seems a complete shadow of the player that showed such great flashes in the Bundesliga back in summer. Cuisance has regularly been positioned as a #10 by André Villas Boas but the player lacks the invention to unlock Ligue 1 defences & is also missing the physicality to hold his own against the division’s robust defensive midfielders. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Wed, 27 Jan 2021 at 14:43, Robert Heath <[email protected]> wrote: > FWIW I have a strong feeling that there was nowt wrong wi' Cuisance.
