Agree. Its embarrassing at times....Knee. Jerk. Moaning. Son was easily our best player by some distance in the first part of the season. Sissoko is yet to fill the headlines, but he's been nowhere near as bad as some suggest. I'm currently watching our home game vs city, and Sissoko was very very good. Some comments about our players are just so far off, it's ridiculous!
Thought he did alright coming off the bench. He's not a bad player, just a confusing signing.
I understand the signing as he gives us something different and a plan B. He's a nightmare for defenders when he's on his game.
He just needs to virtually always be on his game. You have to be now to play for a Club with our massive ambitions.
He had that run where he basically ran straight and went into their centre back
If only he could shoot

I think Poch wants him to do what son is on the other side. Son takes a lot of risks, I don't see why Sissoko is playing so conservatively. He can't be the shy/timid sort can he?

But son gets away with a lot.... And he demonstrates that playing the percentages makes sense when you have players like Kane, alli and Eriksen hovering around goal.I think he is aware that the boo boys are close, so it playing the percentages, see a player in there, also the difference between the way we play and Saudi Sportswashing Machine do means i think we need to treat him a little like he is 50% new to the league .
I quite like him he is a bit of a blunt tool when then tika taca is failing. Get him running towards the goal and make sure somebody is following up behind him for the scraps
If teams let players run at their centre backs with the ball with any real frequency they wouldn't be hard to break down in the first place.I think he is of best use if we can't break a side down. Then what we do is put him on in a central attacking midfield role and get him to run with the ball towards the centre halves and then try and pass to someone else or dink it into the box.
Must admit I prefer an isco, schurrle, mahrez or zaha however.
He should watch Antonio for the spam as for me their similar players physically and style wise but one has cracked a way to play and the other hasn't
Play for a smaller team that can spend a lot of games counter attacking?He should watch Antonio for the spam as for me their similar players physically and style wise but one has cracked a way to play and the other hasn't

Didn't Sissoko do that a lot for Saudi Sportswashing Machine? Didn't he do that a lot for them in games against us on several occasions?Antonio does a let more than that
He is direct and runs straight lines. Sounds simple but if you have pace and power it's a strength

My point is that this is a lot easier playing for Saudi Sportswashing Machine against us than the other way around. Straight lines run into opponents a lot quicker when passing for us.
Yeah he Did which is why I thought we brought him
Problem is for us he always seems to play safe
