For the record, Sissoko was not the worse on the pitch but once some of you hate or have an agenda.....................
honestly what at all did he do all game, the only posistive play i recall from him was a nice run beyond Kane were he got off a half decent shot. Because otherwise I just dont get it.For the record, Sissoko was not the worse on the pitch but once some of you hate or have an agenda.....................

I actually agree with your point but Arsenal & Liverpool as examples of how to play against bus parkers? After last night?I think we play far too narrow against these teams. We need to double up wide, quick one-two's and one touch combinations. We hardly do it, but when we do is the only time we look threatening against these teams. Our players seem to look infield way too often. When I watch Liverpool or Arsenal against these teams they try to get the ball wide as quickly as possible with one-two's, overlaps etc
We just seem stuck passing it backwards and sideways in the middle, congesting it, and our wingbacks are left out wide with little to no support.
I also don't understand why our players pass it backwards just because they can when there's no need to.
Fair comment. He may be clumsy and so not right for Spurs. But I see a player trying hard with a spurs shirt on. So he’ll get my support as long as that stays the case and Poch feels he deserves a place in the team.For the record, Sissoko was not the worse on the pitch but once some of you hate or have an agenda.....................
For me, the problem is being exasperated by the fact that not once this season has Poch actually got the blend and balance completely right. Some of that is because of injuries, but some is due to selections.
go on...who did he outperform in your view?For the record, Sissoko was not the worse on the pitch but once some of you hate or have an agenda.....................
No one got booed. People were frustrated when a ball that could easily have gone forward went backward instead.
Not enough credit is being given to Brighton here. They did what Stoke tried to do, but they did it effectively and stuck at it, whereas Stoke did it badly and gave up after they went 2 down. Hughton knows how to organise a defence and we played badly in large part because they concentrated very hard on not letting us play well.
Nevertheless, if you apply pressure for 90% of the match, usually something will happen and it did, twice. You have to win these games. Last season, we won them because our defence was impregnable and we kept clean sheets. This season we have dropped points by giving away early goals against the run of play. Today, despite not having Wanyama & Alderwerireld, we didn't do that.
Not a pleasant spectacle, but an effective win. I'll give my MotM to Aurier, who was fast and effective, as well as scoring his fluke. Lamela close behind.
