To all those saying Sissoko has played well, how about we wait until Swansea do something other than sit down on masse 20 yards from their goal.

He's done nothing wrong. But the vast majority of what he's done is so basic it would be fucking unbelievable if he had done something worng. Even Dier's been more ambitious.

We could be playing with Corroll and Sung-yung as our CM2 and we'd be more purposeful than with Dier and Sissoko against a team who have pretty much offered no pressure at all.

We've played well as a team, but we have not been tested at all. It's the easiest half of football we've had all season. We've thoroughly merited the 2 goal lead, Eriksen's been sublime, and I really like the fluidity of our forwards, it makes us hard to defend against and with Lamela and Eriksen out there we have two players capable seeing a through ball.

be interesting to see what happens now Swansea have absolutely fuck all to lose. They have got to have a go now, and with the players we have out there, Moura could get more of a look in on the counter this half.
There really ain't no pleasing some people .:(

Yep even Sissoko has looked good. He’s alright when he has to keep it simple and recycle play but any actual footballing technique and he’s fucked.

True but we have dier for that. We cant have 2 of them on the same pitch against decent opposition

My only worry is that we don't do what we did against West Ham. That day we kept playing as though it was all just a training ground exercise and could not change gears when they threw everything at us
