Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

[dontcallme]

I thought his movement was very good today. Everton were trying to pick him up and this threw their shape out of wack.

He's still not good enough on the ball but saw how he can be an asset today.

 

[ohh_when_the_spurs]

Looked like an actual prem standard player today.

I just can't help but think if we had a quick but technical player Instead of him today we would have hit 6/7 goals.

 

[benski]

Very improved for us today lets hope it keeps going and he makes his mark this season there is a player in there somewhere!

Son?

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Very good today but his first touch is still incredibly bad

Sissoko always seems to come alive when there's pressure on him think having his mate Aurier with him cheered him up a bit

 

[Mr Pink]

When was the last time we won 3-0 at Goodison Park? Oh yeah, it's been a while. This guy played midfield ffs

 

[agrdavidsfan]

In a strange way at times today I think we benefitted from not having Dembele as a whole in midfield.

Sissoko worried them by directly running at them with pace through the centre we don't really have that when Dembele's on the pitch it's normally more slow and dribble and work chances out rather than just brute power like sissoko.

Loved it when he threw gueye out of his way at one point today it actually looked for the first time today that he wanted to play for us, or that himself he believed he could play for us.

He's definitely a centre midfielder for me though do not want to see him out wide again. He has a skill set at times which we could use against teams to offer something different

Barkley

 

[Dazzazzad]

Probably gave the ball away more than anyone. Was pleased to see him burst into forward with more conviction and he definitely got himself into some good scoring positions. Pity his finishing is rubbish. Sort of like Paulinho.

That said it was one of his better games for us. Hope he can build on that performance.

 

[kaz Hirai]

His movement was excellent

 

[ebzrascal]

If he was a little more aware and composed on the ball and could finish chances he would be a hell of a player. Would be amazing if we could improbe him this season let's get behind him

It seems a lot were concentrating on his weaknesses just to have a go and justify some sort of agenda against him, therefore missing out what he did well which was a lot. Haters will always hate.

 

[whitesocks]

What was encouraging was he was trying very hard and the away fans recognised that.
He is not pleasing to the eye, but he had valuable input to a very good result.
Sometimes you need something different.

Barkley

Was thinking Mane would have bagged at least 3 with us today

 

[voxy28]

His our new Barkley..... Aurier convince him to play...lol

 

[spursfan77]

Glad he didn't have an absolute stinker, but then again that is the bare minimum.

Hope he kicks on.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

Was thinking Mane would have bagged at least 3 with us today

or he kicked pickford's face and got sent off

 

[Mullers]

I didn't see how he played but if he is finally finding some form it can only be a good thing for us, we overpaid for him but it's not his fault.

 

[$hoguN]

As I said when he first signed he can be very dangerous when played centrally as he provides a big strong runner hitting the box late. It's not his fault that for some stupid reason we have played him out wide. Fair play to him for putting in a good performance

 

[viktorviktor]

I think the only reason his runs contributed to our attack yesterday was because the defenders didn't know what to do. A better manager would have told his players to ignore Sissoko as he isn't dangerous when on the ball.

His positioning and technique is just way below standard for our team. I really hope that he will prove himself this season, as we definitely need a player like him, but he has a long way to go.
