I think Jose is quite happy for Sissoko to not want the ball. When we have possession Jose will have told him to get ready for when we lose it and be ready to stop a quick transition. It sacrifices a player offensively to give us insurance defensively. Makes us woeful to build attacks but means we proactively defend / manage space when we lose possession. Just watch him when we have the ball and specifically when we lose the ball. That is why Jose has been picking him.
