Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

[dtxspurs]

Why on Earth did we extend his contract?

 

[Danny1]

Limited player, always has been, but somehow has become undroppable due to having 5 or 6 good games last year.

 

[ardiles]

Probably to get a better price if there’s a desperate club looking at him.

 

[slartibartfast]

I think he can do a good job for us if he plays in the Dembele role.
He's being paired wirh Winks so who of the 2 is the DM? Neither can do Dier or Wanyamas job. They're not that type of player.
He's not a fkin RB either.

 

[dontcallme]

He’s a decent utility player. In the right situation he can be a good player albeit very limited.

 

[Shadydan]

Putting the blame on him when he's one of the only ones actually trying.

The whole team are shit right now so I don't understand why the fingers are being pointed at him?

Agree completely. Sissoko is not the problem here. In fact he's one of very few who aren't part of the problem.

 

[Primativ]

Sissoko isn’t the problem but Poch plays him as our advanced playmaker. That’s what the problem is. Shocking state of affairs.

 

[Phomesy]

Sissoko is undroppable at the moment because he's the only fucking player we have who gets the ball then distributes it without creating a massive 4 on 2 break running at our centre backs.

It's a sign of our times that Sissoko is our most reliable passer. Fuck me...;

 

[cookiemonster]

He had a decent season

Sometimes it happens

Danny Simpson and Wes Morgan were exceptional in Lester title season

Doesnt mean they are good players though

Fuck all this not good enough BS, we're at a stage right now where we need players who are actually putting in a shift, Sissoko is one of the only ones doing that, when we're cruising at the top of table and there's other players worthy of a starting spot then we can talk about whether he's good enough or not.

No he fucking doesn't

 

[Shadydan]

No he fucking doesn't

I'm actually amazed at some of the comments about our team, genuinely don't know what people watch sometimes.

Yesterday Sissoko was basically receiving the ball and being expected to play defence splitting passes and to create stuff. How can both of you not see that? He would be receiving the ball and being asked to dictate play, it was like he was playing the Pogba role.

How can neither of you see that? Mind boggling.

Is it cos he's black?'

 

[bubble07]

Sissoko looks good with players playing well with him and terrible when the team are playing shit

 

[Haddock]

I feel like he has lost a bit of that "I'm gonna show the world who Mousa Sissoko really is..."-attitude, where he went from being club castout to club hero in six months. To be fair it can't be easy channeling that attitude considering the turmoil we're in.

 

[faze_coys]

If you think sissoko is not part of our problems I really don’t know what you are watching. Effort doesn’t = quality

 

[Stamford]

Fuck all this not good enough BS, we're at a stage right now where we need players who are actually putting in a shift, Sissoko is one of the only ones doing that, when we're cruising at the top of table and there's other players worthy of a starting spot then we can talk about whether he's good enough or not.

But we can discuss both. Yes he tries hard, he's also not good enough despite his heroic efforts this season and last.

He's not good enough but he's far better than a lot of other players right now, it's a tedious argument and I feel that people are just pointing fingers at him because they don't like him, not because of our current position.
