Yeah, I don't really agree. Parker was underrated and Winks, much as I do like him, might be slightly overrated. I don't think he has the creativity of Modric, nowhere near it.

Agree that Parker's function was more defensive but think Winks is a good defensive player as well as attacking.

Would be pretty boring if we all thought the same, wouldnt it?
Parker, for me, didnt have half the ability of Winks. Either Technically or Tactically.
He worked his nuts off, which was probably his defining strength. When we played him exclusively as a defensive terrier, sitting in front of the back four and harrassing anything that crossed into our half I thought he was excellent. In that rather limited role, he thrived.
When he decided he was too good for that and wanted to be Stevie G MKII, I think his game was massively exposed and he was more a hinderance to the side than a help.
Winks is nothing like Parker. He strength isnt tenacity.
Its that metronomic passing, like Modric, that allows us to keep the ball, pull teams around and take advantage of openings.
The vast majority of his passes, even if often simple, are forward and progress our play. He makes the team tick, and he makes us slick.
Similar to Modric? Yes. In what he does, and how he does it, I think he is.
As good as Modric? No. Not yet, anyway. I think he has the potential to be that good though, in a very similar way, but only time will tell.

I think he is tenacious and his business is his main appeal. With the ball and without it.

As I said, differences in opinion keep it interesting.
I agree he is a tenacious player, a busy player - just for me that was basically all there was to Parker, but there is a lot more than that to Winks.

When i have seen them play together they have alway looked a good partnership in the making.

Agree, Winks is a far better all round player then Parker and and he is getting back to the player he was before his injury. Still only 22 and i would suggest that in the future he will be our capt.

I thought Dele played reasonably well, I didn’t think Eriksen was too bad either. Lorente was of course terrible but Lamela was still giving him good competition for the worst player on the pitch award.

I think Winks is somewhere between the two players (which is a decent place to be).

Well he will be coaching him next season, so will pick up a few tips from him.

I genuinely just dont see the Parker comparisons, unless we are being literal? He is a brown haired little scamp that could pull off the old boys hair cut like Parker always did...

Spurs7891 just said Lamela was "poor" in another thread. You know Lamela has had a stinker when his own dad admits he had an off day.

Amazing! Watching that just reinforces how great it is to have players who've come through the youth ranks playing in our first team. Supporting a club isn't all about winning as much as possible at all costs, it's also about moments like that.

It was probably discussed in the OMT but I really appreciated the ball through to Rose to set up the goal on Thursday. Nice to see some decisive goal involvements from him of late.
I have been critical of Winks at times this season but it's easy to forget his age and how screwed we would have been without him, given his previous ankle issues it'd be great to be able to give him a break as it seems like he is being ran in to the ground.

Very good game, again. The midfield anchor role will be difficult for Dier and Wanyama to claim back.
