He's been going on about Sissoko being the replacement for Cabaye. I wonder what he'll say when we're playing against teams that we can't use the counter attacking setup against. Or are we going to sit back att home against QPR as well?
One thing is sure, he wont be as effective with no space to run into. Pardew doesn't seem able to see this. Not surprised though..
He shouldn't be used as a door opener, nor a defensive midfielder. Box to box centrally, it's as simple as that.
