Everyone has Sessegnon in their starting line-up but, in my 'umble opinion,he doesn't contribute enough over 90 mins.
Yes, he has flashes of brilliance but is too often missing for half the game, is so easily muscled off the ball and too often try's to dribble his way past four or five opposition players virtually always losing possession. Sess in the January sales for me along with Sicknote, Olsson, Davidson and perhaps a few more.
Again BaggieMan, I refer you to the fact that we have not won a single game that Sessegnon hasn't started since he signed.
Yes he may go missing in games, yes he may take on too many players, yes he may make poor decisions, but he is the only flair player in our current starting line-up. Every midtable Premier League team has had one of them over the years: Ben Arfa, Taarabt, N'Zogbia, Odemwingie, Downing, Ruiz, Berbatov, Adam Johnson, I could go on... All of these players have frustrated the hell out of their fans, but they are match-winners, they can produce something out of nothing. Sessegnon fits right in to that category. If the above players played consistently at their best then they wouldn't be at the likes of West Brom/West Ham/Sunderland/Fulham/Stoke/Newcastle, they would be at Europe's elite.
If you would rather we replaced Sessegnon with another consistent 6.5/10 like Morrison or Dorrans then that's fine, but I'm sure it would lead to us sliding down the table.
