AlanSkÃrare Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Had a few Hatem-like "touches into space" last night. I think we saw an even more potent side of his game and signs that there is a player ready to become even better in there. He ripped their midfield apart with his runs and his determination, which looks like his most important attribute. The fact that we paid £1.8m for him is looking more and more like it's a deal worthy of the Noble Prize. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VanBarduck Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 “Moussa Sissoko. He’s an absolute animal on the pitch.” ‘People say Cheick Tiote is a strong fella but when they see this guy play they’re going to know all about him.” “There’s no player like him out there.”He’s not just strong, he’s powerful and a very good passer.” “The Newcastle fans will love him. I think I’ll end up in hospital if I go into a 50-50 with him in training.” from Steven Taylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 He's going to be a truly scary player once he adjusts to the pace and has the stamina to be a true box-to-box midfielder, which is what I think he wants to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I agree he's a bit slack in passing which is why I'm keen he stay in 10 position not sit in holding position, where that sort of looseness is more costly. He'd be a waste playing anywhere else than he is right now If I'm honest. Ideally - Moussa, Hatem and Yoann are floating in and about creating space for the others.

STM Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 The reason his passing is slack is because he is playing in that position. If he was playing deeper he get more time on the ball. I'm all for switching him and Cabaye. Let Cabaye get closer to Cisse and Sissoko can make his runs from deep. They should experiment much more during the game IMO.

Ketsbaia Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Now part of my Fantasy League team. Welcome, Moussa! Can't wait to see how he develops when he settles in, the team adapts and Hatem comes back. Genuinely mouthwatering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I love the way he drives the team forward with a quick turn and burst. It's just a shame the wide outlets he was feeding it in to on Thursday were crap. I thought it was strange he had a 20 minute spell on the right from the beginning of the second, he's a pure central player for me, whether that's behind Cisse or a bit deeper alongside Cabaye.

Willow Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Moussa and Krul are my men of the match tonight. Lots of solid performances all round though. Sissoko is a joy to watch at times, his physicality and drives forward really help us out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My MOTM. Constant outlet, full of running and quality at the ball with his feet. I absolutely love the way he drives us on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Gotta be intimidating as a defender, seeing this guy coming at you and knowing he's not only physical, but fast and technically-proficient as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Had an explosive start, quietened down a little (still been class but not at that level) but always a threat. He is going to make a huge difference to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Has ridiculously good feet for a big fella. The amount of times he has it wide on the touchline, with 2 or 3 players around him and he somehow keeps it in play and comes out the other side is unreal. Down the right flank in the second half when he just brushed that bloke off and left him on the floor. Looked like an adult playing against a kid in 5 a side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Will see the best of him when defender have to worry about Gouffrans speed and Ben Arfas technical ability. Right now he is playing well and that's with a hell load of players marking him. The though of Cabaye spreading the ball and defenders having to worry about 4 offensive players is insane. No doubt Pardew will be able to fuck that up though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
