Don't know why Sissoko is getting so much stick

True Sissoko has'nt been good, but Dele has had a far worse game and has been losing the ball far to easily

Midfield battle is currently lost, when we do have it there’s nobody with the technique or vision to do anything with it really.

Dele fluffing up a counter attack or two is very surprising I must say. Easily the most frustrating part of this game so far when Kane cushioned a lovely header down to him to run on to, with three different option, and he just slows it down, turns in to trouble and loses it meekly.

Sanchez improved a bit as the game has gone on but still looks shaky today.

This lot are scared of their own shadow when defending so are there for the taking.

Because everybody else is wrong and Pochettino clearly loves Sissoko and we don't question Pochettino.

We play like this against ManU, Liverpool, Arsenal and Juventus and we’ll get spanked and deservedly so

There's a monumental Eriksen shaped hole of wit and craft out there.

And there’s a Lamela-shaped human on the bench to fill such hole.

It's match day thread day, which means it's time to pick a player who's had a bad 45 or played a bad pass and decide that they need moving on asap. Love it

A small part of me wants poch to do nothing just to see the meltdown people have when our manager doesn't share their expert opinion on football

But then the other, less ****y side just would like to see Lamela on

Sanchez looks nervous. Alli and Son haven't got into the game. Hopefully, our second half will be better.

I love Pochettino. I really do.

But how on Earth does he repeatedly pick Sissoko over Lamela. How can he think Sissoko is the better option? What the fuck does he see?

I’m getting really tired of this. There has to be some sort of reason for this. He can’t swriously think Sissoko is the better player. He can’t. If he does, that’s concerning as hell.

When did Sissoko start pointing so much?

Poch is so blinkered, will do anything to keep Dier in the team, Wanyama is back now, show some bollocks and drop him to the bench. He is average.

Its like Son is thinking its ok for me to be less intense today because i had my good game last week so the fans will accept it if i put in a below par act today.

Surely West Ham was a lesson. How on Earth you can pick sissoko over Lamela is staggering. If this goes tits up will add to a long list of Poch **** ups this season. Will be fuming.

Haha you mocked. But I was right. Absolutely awful. Nothing in midfield at all,no control nothing. Dier sissoko off wanyama Lamela on. But I suspect we won’t see a sub till 75 mins when it’s too late.

I’d take Ward-Prowse off Southampton’s hands. And Lemina.

Yeah, not his best half of football.

Need, bright and alert Dele second half, and we'll do the business.

He's so important to our attack today.

Maybe he's worried about giving the ball away because of the weather but he needs to not worry about that. He's better not thinking too much about it and just pass and move.

Because at any point alli can influence or change the game. Sissoko is just consistantly below average bordering on dreadful.

Got a couple of gears to go up here. Lamela for Sissoko for me, a bit more composure.

Come on Spurs!

You realise that Lamela is working his way back from more than a year out, yes?

Push a player back from injury too fast and you risk further injury.

Woeful so far. Defence look really nervous. Dier taking too long passing, Dele taking too many touches, Son completely anonymous, Dembele can't stop fouling people and Sissoko doing his job seemingly.
