Moussa Sissoko

Is there a clear pattern where the derisory posts against Sissoko originate from the same posters? Are these posters constantly on the player's back to the extent that even where the world and its dog agree he has has a bloody good game, they still try to continue deriding him? If there isn't, then I stand corrected; but if there is, then from where I am typing "usual suspects" fits the definition perfectly.

I guess it's a cultural thing but we Mediterraneans tend to call a spade by its real name...

Most ball recoveries is a massively important stat. 12 is a great number too.

When you consider how many ball boys there must have been around the pitch, and their starting positions on the touch line, beating them to fetch the ball back so often is some accomplishment.

I remember playing on the park as a lad and the ball going into the long grass and bloody nettles behind the goal all the time. That little kid we used to strong arm into doing our ball recovering, and getting his legs and arms stung to buggerery, was invaluable to our squad. Saved us the effort.

Didnt see the game, only MOTD.

Thought that was a bloody good assist. Not least because he made a meaningful run to be found in the first place, and the cross was a good one.

Cant comment on over all performance, MOTd etc, but happy he made such a positive contribution to the only goal of the game.

Sadly no surprise to me to come on this morning to 5 pages of Sissoko acolytes trying to use it as an "I told you so" though. When he has played and made those contributions consistently, and people STILL slate him - maybe you would have a point. Maybe. But after a single positive performance its premature to say the least, especially as - so far as I can see - most people are recognising that.

MOTD was a terrible representation of events this time and even more so than normal.
 
Its the kind of opposition that suits him. Like us, city press high and leave a bit of space to run into infront of the back line. Sissoko looked more assured going foward and also defended well. If only he could finish. If he had a shot on him, he'd be a very decent player.
