Match Threads West Ham vs Spurs - Match Thread

[A.J.]

I am all for supporting every player, through good and bad times, but Sissoko is no PL player in my humble opinion.

Games seem to pass him by, and he seems so slow in passing the ball.

 

[Yakflange]

It surprises me that people are surprised when Sissoko starts. Poch has always wanted a player who can carry the ball quickly or effectively in transitions - Dembele is the man for this but if he can't play who else have we got?

Sissoko has a lot of short comings and I wish the club had been better at recruiting but Sissoko is the only one who can do this, besides he is quite a disciplined player and you need that in games like today. It's just unfortunate that both Wanyama and Dembele seem to have become so fragile and we can no longer count on them. Leaves us with only one physical and athletic midfielder.

Wow, an actual sensible, reasoned about Sissoko. Besos careful with that kind of stuff around here, mate.

Yes, he has shortcomings. But also plenty of good qualities (some of which you mention above) which he brings to a team performance.

I'm long past being bored of people who apparently don't understand anything about football moaning about him just because they like having something to moan about.

 

[ackie]

Sissokois fucking shite as usual!!

Seriously?! So what about Trippier?
You can't make Sissoko the scapegoat all the time...

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

I’ll go against the grain, Sissoko has been decent, think we’ve played well 1st half for a change, just lacking cutting edge

 

[The Apprentice]

Dier and Sissoko are making me cry.

 

[Ekmek]

It's like we forgot how to move the ball quickly. Winks, Sissoko, Trippier and Davies keeps slowing it down all the time.

 

[Gbspurs]

Lamela is so one footed.

 

[spursfan77]

It's like we forgott how to move the ball quickly. Winks, Sissoko, Trippier and Davies keeps slowing it down all the time.

Been like it all season.

 

[theShiznit]

Dominating the possession as expected but taking too long to so anything with the ball. (As expected?)

 

[thinktank]

Eriksen on asap or we'll turgid our way to a draw or a self-inflicted 1-0 loss.

Without an in-form Eriksen we never move it quickly. And he's been off his game or injured all season.

 

[ShaunL84]

Why is Lamela not working on his right foot in training?

 

[Johnny J]

Lamela is so one footed.

So are most players. But for some reason it's only a big issue if you're left footed.

 

[yankspurs]

Im soooo tired of Trippier playing like complete trash and maintaining his place week in and week out. Should have given KWP a chance when Aurier was out.

 

[ackie]

Poor corner again from Trippier

 

[Ekmek]

Yes but Winks seems to have all the tools to be able to move quick, but he is a bit timid.

Racists

I'm bothered by all professional footballers who aren't comfortable with their weaker foot. It's such basic training.

 

[Blackrat1299]

Its hard work playing with 10 men. get sissoko off!

 

[thinktank]

Everyone's choosing the wrong passes.
