Following Sunday’s 2-2 draw between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the north London derby, Ray Parlour declared that Yves Bissouma has “really improved.”

In their heavyweight match at the Emirates, Arsenal and Tottenham exchanged powerful blows. Ray Parlour later added that Yves Bissouma was “excellent” on the day, as he said on talkSPORT Breakfast (25/09/23 at 6:10 am).

The 27-year-old signed a contract with Tottenham last summer while Antonio Conte was in charge, but under the Italian, he had trouble maintaining his form and consistency.

This is true despite the fact that the former Brighton star moved to north London with high hopes and aspirations.

But in the present, everything has turned around for the all-action midfielder, who is finally displaying the form he once consistently shown at the Amex Stadium.

Ange Postecoglou, according to Arsenal icon Parlour, is a major factor in Yves Bissouma’s recent improvement in form, particularly yesterday’s strong performance in the north London derby.

Yves Bissouma improvement

But right now, things are different for the all-action midfielder, who is finally showing the same form he had at the Amex Stadium.

According to Arsenal legend Parlour, Ange Postecoglou has played a significant role in Yves Bissouma’s recent resurgence, notably his impressive showing in yesterday’s north London derby.

Bissouma given freedom

First and foremost, Bissouma is no longer playing in the rigorous two-man midfield that Antonio Conte used to concoct. Instead, he is now part of a three-man midfield.

Due to the fact that it is one of his strongest traits, the Mali star was unable to play freely or advance the ball at will.

He is encouraged and given freedom to move forward under Ange Postecoglou, and as everyone can see from the results, he has been one of Tottenham’s greatest players this year.

Mikel Arteta issues Tottenham Premier League title prediction after Arsenal draw

In the North London Derby at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal and Tottenham were held to a 2-2 draw as both teams continued their unbeaten streaks.

When asked whether Tottenham can win the Premier League championship this year, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, had an intriguing remark. The first North London Derby of the season finished in a 2-2 stalemate on Sunday, denying the Gunners the chance to claim victory over their close rivals.

Bukayo Saka’s shot was deflected into his own goal by Cristian Romero, and Son Heung-min then equalized just before halftime. In the second half, Saka scored a penalty to give the Gunners the lead once more, but Son responded by tying the score by taking advantage of a Jorginho slip-up.

While keeping their unbeaten records in the Premier League this year, Arsenal and Spurs dropped further behind defending champion Manchester City at the top of the standings. The Gunners hope to end their 20-year trophy drought this year by defeating Pep Guardiola’s team and winning the Premier League.

However, they have a number of competitors who want to accomplish the same thing this year, including Spurs. Since taking over at Hotspur Way, Ange Postecoglou has incorporated a dynamic, offensive style of play, and Tottenham has been unbeaten in the Premier League thus far this season as a result.

Arteta provided an intriguing reaction when asked if he thinks Spurs can contend for or possibly win the Premier League title this year. “I think they [Spurs] are a really good side,” the Arsenal manager stated.

They have excellent coaching. You can sense the team’s zeal and energy, but I believe it’s too early to speculate about where we’ll end up after six games.

This season, injuries could be a major factor in any team’s quest for the league crown, with Arsenal suffering early-season setbacks. Injuries to Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Declan Rice now limit Arteta’s options in crucial areas of the field.

In the match against Arsenal, Brennan Johnson, a summer signing for Spurs, suffered a hamstring injury. After demonstrating his value to the squad thus far this season, James Maddison was not fully fit going into the game, and he must remain so if Tottenham are to contend for the Premier League championship.
