Sissoko is far from box to box, he plays in a square 10m box inbetween CB and RB and does zero for us offensively.
Do you watch games or just highlights?

I’ve watched every minute of every game and today Sissoko did fuck all offensively. He didn’t play badly but his ‘job’ was to cover Trippier and he did little else. Against a team that parked the bus it was a waste of a player.
He had one of our best attempts in the first half. He didn't have to cover Trippier either as Newcastle barely attacked.
Most of our players did a lot around Newcastle but not through them due to the way they set up.
I suggest you look at the touch map BBLG posted as well.
Don't reply again either as this is the Winks thread.
100% spot on. He’s just unreal, exactly the type of player we need to make a mainstay in our first XI, I’m glad he’s effectively displaced Eric ‘average’ Dier.I had and have zero doubts about this kid.
He has Kanes type of mentality.
He'll go far.
I don't think he is anything like Carrick, I am surprised to see the comparisons, dier is actually more like Carrick.
As for Winks he is brilliant and I am really struggling for a comparison. The closest I can come to in style is actually Jamie O'Hara, not in ability but style.
He has the workrate but not the tackling of Parker, he has the passing of Modric but not the end product (final balls and shooting).
The weird thing is, now, as a 22 year old, I would put him ability wise better than the majority of spurs midfielders in my time being a fan. In fact only Modric and Carrick were better, and older when they displayed their class.
I think Winks maybe one of the few players, like Sheringham, makelele or Carrick where people will be comparing players to him in the future.
This guy could become our best player in a couple of years, Kane included!

Saved.I can't ever see him making it with us. I think he will prove to be a glaring error of judgement by Poch who obviously has pinned his CM hopes on this kid stepping up. He can pass a ball well under no pressure occasionally but he lacks in so many other areas and I think he is too lightweight.
When he starts for us our CM moves a level down in quality. I know he's a favourite of many spurs fans as he is academy but I'm just not a fan.
He was much better yesterday, hopefully he can continue to improve because that is the base level he really needs to perform at in CM.
Whoever said he passes like Modric, LOL. He isn't as good a passer as Modric I'm afraid.
He may one day show those types of passes, but he hasn't yet.
I'm pleased he is showing some drive from CM, which was missing from him so far this season.
Love this reluctant praise.
