Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

[Shadydan]

He played the ball to Rose that gave us the winner. For me he did his job yesterday when he came on which is great! But I am also not going to get carried away and say he is all of a sudden a starting 11 member because I just don't see 90 minutes of him being all that effective. As I stated in the transfer window he is a good bench/squad player for sub appearances at best and yesterday was a good example of that.

But please people don't act like yesterday was some worldy performance. His pass to Rose was simple, if he botched that this board would have a different tone. His long field cross to Son I believe near the end of the game on a counter was also something he had to do. A simple flighted ball that 99% of professional footballers should be able to hit.

So in short yes he helped us yesterday so good on him. But be weary of those saying he should start cause people, this is the Sissoko that has been playing in the PL for years. 90 minutes of him week in and week out will leave you asking for more heroin.

It's quite simple - He's providing more than Son at the moment which is why he should start, I'm not here to score points, i'd rather we go with what's best for the team.

...Sissoko easily walks into the squad way ahead of Lamela atm...
...the haters are oddly quiet...

Mainly because of Lamela's injury though, to be fair...

I make you spot on, if lamela's injured it'll be a laboured walk whilst the non injured sissoko will walk easily

Both in the same lineup would be pretty full on for the opposition

Loooool, I'm sure defenders are shaking in their boots at the prospect

 

[Wellspurs]

Great to see Charlie Adams thought his challenge was red???
Looked obvious his foot was high but he was trying NOT to make contact as apposed to Adams always deliberately trying to injure players.

 

[Spurrific]

Why is that rock-eating, ugly, spud-headed **** doing punditry anyway? I can't imagine anybody I'd want to hear talk about football less. Him casting aspersions on other players' challenges is tantamount to Josef Fritzl delivering parenting tips.

Sissoko vs Burnley. I didn't create this and it has kind of an annoying music beat similar to a lot of highlight reels so I recommend watching on mute

His physique makes him look like a donk, but I love the way opposition players often bounce of him

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Another good match, specialist in counter attack and assist (Why can't you just shoot!)

 

[Spurrific]

Much improved, good on him

 

[bat-chain]

He's one of those players that is much better than he looks.

I think we all overreacted and Pochettino basically knows more than about football than us, which is good.

 

[nasescoba1985]

Well played Moussa. Good touch from the spurs fans tonight chanting his name when he come off. That will do him a world of good.

 

[markdadude]

Wasn't spectacular but yet again he was pretty darn useful.

 

[whitelanefever]

I thought he had the best movement of the front 4 tonight.. his anticipation & reading of where the ball would break was good.. he done well tonight...

 

[mano-obe]

Good game again and another assist. Looking a lot better

 

[Shadydan]

Yep he's certainly getting better, weight of pass and decision making is improving, first touch needs a bit of work though. Certainly making people look a little foolish when they wrote him off a couple of months ago.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Pochettino basically knows more than about football than us

 

[nasescoba1985]

I thought he looked really good tonight. Seem's to have a burst of pace that we were lacking at times. The only gripe i have on him is his inability to shoot/header on goal at the right opportunity. He had a great chance to head it on goal but headed it across. Was unselfish of him but needs to be a bit more ruthless. That said another assist and also assisted our penalty to.

Cheers Moussa you twat, as if after everything else I've rammed down my throat this week I need my own words too.
