I don't see why Sissoko is getting so much stick. I thought he played well today for a position he's not used to. Could easily have had a goal too.
Aurier's defending/positioning was also poor, but he was decent in an attacking sense, with an assist, so on balance was no sloppier than many other players out there (Davies, Kane and Eriksen all showing some rustiness out there).
I’m just delighted that he could have gone to City but stayed with us. He steadied the midfield today, when it really needed it. Verging on legendary status, if not alreadyDembele just looks a class above everyone on the pitch.
We were very lucky to go home with 3 points. Why on earth Sissoko could play 90 min is beyond everyone.
2 mins in can tell Amos is nowhere near strong enough
Youth!! Yids!!
Are most really wanting him gone? Not sure thats true.
How aurier gets picked instead of kwp is beyond me
Son not a game changer ?I am no Sissoko fan, but again it comes down to options.
Just like Kane playing another 90+ when unfit.
Said it all transfer window, our Starting XI is awesome but our squad seriously lacks quality depth.
1 to 11 title worthy.
12 to 25(?) maybe with the odd exception granted, not really top 6 quality.
It’s hard to improve on Kane and Eriksen but it should have been doable to improve on Sissoko.
We haven’t had a game changer on the bench for a long time. When plan A doesn’t work rarely has a sub come on and turned a game for us.
Both sets of players looked knackered with 15 minutes to go. Fair result. We deserved the win even though the barcodes tried hard. Can’t see where their goals are going to come from. Could be another long hard season for them.
Is it? We sold our RB and bought a new, higly regarded RB from a top club in Europe.
I liked that he got in after the summer he had - he earned his chance. But, he sure looked tiny out there...Amos - like a new signing! Marquee
What youths? Aurier plays instead of KWP and Sissoko still starts
Yes, don't think it's so much about wanting him gone. More that people see the need to sign others to replace him, partly for now and certainly for the long term
You don't just simply 'replace' Mousa Dembele.
Thomas Meunier is who we should have bought although he's probably unavailable
