Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

Protect Sissoko? I think you need to see a doctor. Blaming Sissoko for everything is embrassing.
Everyone in the team was responsible. You win as a team. You lose as team. You draw as a team. You play poorly as a team. You play well as a team. This is a team sport.

Yet Sissoko gets the blame.

Is it? I wasn't sure, every thread I walk into has someone banging on about Sissoko.
Any comment on your original inane comment or shall we over look that?
Oh the absolute scenes!

To be fair Sissoko failed to track Bertrand for their goal, a job that presumably was a large reason why he was picked ahead of Lamela, and he missed an absolute sitter to put us 2-1 up just before HT. So he had a huge impact on the result. I guess arguably you could say Sanchez was more responsible for us not winning seeing as he put the ball in his own net, but that was pretty unlucky, whereas Sissoko's part in their goal was down to either laziness or just not being mentally alert enough to realise what was happening.

I don’t think that was a sitter. It came at him pretty quick and he had to hit it on the volley. He should’ve done better but not a sitter. It was annoying though as if he got that on target it’s a goal.
It wasnt inane. Sissoko played like complete shit aka his usual. We are allowed to comment on that.

well that cross came in from where Aurier was supposed to be. blaming Sissoko over Aurier is exactly the point. as far as the OG, it happens.

No doubt, but the ideal that other people should criticise other players isn't? That was your original point, wasn't it?
Good lord.

Mate, a professional footballer should be able to divert a ball anywhere within the posts from 5 yards out on his good foot, no matter how hard it's struck. Completely unmarked, goalie nowhere, just had to make sure he angled it straight or back across, basically do anything other than what he did. That's about as basic a skill as there is.

Aurier had no chance because Bertrand had all the momentum in his run, that's why you have people tracking back with runners. If you watch it you can see the moment Sissoko realises he's fucked up and desperately starts pointing to Aurier who was left completely isolated

I've seen Messi miss worse.

so Sissoko is supposed to spot the runner but the fullback gets a pass? makes no sense. you have two holding mids who can cover that space as well.
Not when people are practically giving Sissoko a pass.

For all these glowing posts about Sissoko's splendour and how everybody criticising him is so wrong. I find it rather funny that there are so few matches he is able to positively influence in a great way. He doesn't seem to frequently, and correct me if I'm wrong here, decide a game in our favour when that game looks to be ending in a draw, he rarely gathers the troops and spur the team on to a last push and, if I haven't overlooked something, he doesn't really put in loads of assists. So looking at the gross sum of undeniable contribution, it is surprising that a player who is so lacking in any ability to positively influence a game, receives so much love. I don't think many spurs players have had to do less to gather such support.

This is exactly the issue right here, shitty little digs at people who refuse to blame everything on him.

No the issue is that some posters are trying their best to look as if Levy is paying them weekly wages to go online and spout off all sorts of pro-club crap. I don't care about competing for the title as the most glorifying Spurs fan ever, because not everything about Spurs if glorious.
