Moussa Sissoko

[SUIYHA]

Much improved in the past two games. I mean still nowhere even close to be a £30m player but improved.

I would be very surprised if he sorts out his shooting. You can work on things like tactics, reading of the game, learning when to pass/shoot/dribble etc, but if you're not technically skilled by his age you probably never will be. Poor man's Bale? Maybe a starving beggar in the third world's Bale. I think the best we can realistically hope for from him would be to become a better version of Zokora, who was crap but his pace, stamina and an eagerness to drive forward with the ball meant he was a useful player for us at times.

FFS he has just started in the league, how long did it take Erik ? Now he is first on the teamsheet, if not injured.

I still think we need a playmaker, but Poche isn't likely to go down that route.

Nice to see this

'For me the manager said what he thinks,' Sissoko said. 'For me it was the same, just to come into training and try to give my best.

'I know what I can do for the team. I know what is my level. I just needed some time to be ready on everything because it was a big change for me. Now I understand everything and everything is better for me and that's good.'
Sissoko's impact in the 1-0 loss at Old Trafford saw him deployed on the right, but he was used in a more central position behind Harry Kane in the convincing win over the Tigers.

'The intensity of the training has been particularly difficult. The style of how he wants us to play. A lot of things,' Sissoko added.

'What we do at the training. It was a lot of change. Every manager has his style of training so now I understand everything.

'We played a different system so I was more inside. That is what I like. But I can also play as a winger.

'The manager decided to change the system so it was good for me and for the team. We wanted to win the game and that was perfect.'

He also made clear that the manager changed the system... Perhaps it was a case of square pegs and round holes before?

Both him and Alli looked a real threat operating as inside forwards alongside Kane. Clearly he has no end product but if he can make the right runs with and without the ball he will cause chaos in opposition defences and hopefully create the space for our other (more technically gifted) players to make their mark.

Just reminds me of Zokora with the ball. I hope he flourishes as with any player that puts on our shirt

Wow! Now that was a hell of a cameo. Long may it continue. That was a brilliant assist, when he wants he can really "shift"

He also put a great ball into Son that son wasted

But he did have a shocker of a shot - if you'd call it that

I would rather not, and I suggest we never mention that again

I call it a pea roller. It it didn't roll

I thought we were not gonna talk of it again, it really takes away from the cameo

 

[the dza]

He's getting better, I like that he's taken Poch's earlier criticism on the chin and is starting to produce more.

 

[StephenH]

Very pleased he is giving it a go now!
Also looks very powerful when he gets motoring, well done to the lad.

Agree, except that Rose made it a brilliant assist with a cracking finish. Really, Sissoko was best place to finish that. But he knows his scoring mojo is not there yet. It has to come. If it does, he might be something. His air shot on goal today said it all. If he and the coaching team can get his head and shooting technique even to average striker standards, he could deliver.

Dude, we are not talking about that so called shot

Looked at the Sissoko challenge again, it looks bad in that the foot is high. But he does not follow through which probably saves him and why the burnley player escapes serious injury. Overall right decision by the ref imho.

Yes true! I think my point was, if he's confident he'd have taken that on himself. And if he can start to, and put the ball in the net, well then he would be worth every one of those 30 million pounds.

You know, that was the speciality of one Luka Modric, Esq. His time here was peppered with those sorts of frustrating half-shots that lacked power and sometimes weren't even fast enough to be worthy of the 'shot' label. Didn't do him too much harm in the end, though, did it?

 

[Spur of the moment]

Humble pie time because along with others I hold my hand up and admit I may have judged him too soon, especially concerning his poor end product. He produced absolutely the perfect final ball/pass/end product for Rose's goal yesterday.
