Nope. If I haven't seen a someone play at least 10 matches, I rather wait and do it before I can make any kind of judgement. That particular one just caught my eye and always makes me laugh.
Thing is, by watching Poulsen play, I came to the conclusion that he might not be an expert at "making bonehead giveaways", (like Melo), but he is no better than Sissoko (who has a lot more body strength on his favour).
Both share the same passing skills

It's quite a statement to name Poulsen as "one of the better players this season". First because it was an awful season and we let in 56 goals (IIRC) in Serie A alone. And secondly, because I can't remember a single game this year where he caught my eye, scored a goal or produced an assist.
I don't rate any of the 3 midfielders you mentioned highly, but if I have to choose 1 destroyer to shield the defense next year, then I would trust Sissoko to do the job.
Anyway, it's no use keeping this argument.
You rate him. I don't.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this.
