Guest chopey Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 One of the best counter attacking footballers we have ever had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Has amazing potential with his physical attributes. Felt we weren't getting the ball to him enough today, which is crazy seeing as he and Debuchy were so effective but just felt there were spells where he didn't see the ball at all. But whenever he did get it he seems to scare the hell out of the opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Gotta love a player who has trickery, power and pace. He will lose the ball through ambition, but really commits defenses by running powerfully through them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 How much did we pay for him Altidore = Sissoko * 4 Giaccherini = Sissoko * 3 Steven Fletcher = Sissoko * 7 !! Adam Johnson = Sissoko * 5 Gyan = Sissoko * 7 Craig Gardner = Sissoko * 2.5 Connor Whickham = Sissoko * 4 Michael Turner = Sissoko * 6 !!! Catermole = Sissoko * 3 No wonder they are where they are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He's doing well in his winger or "false winger" role or whatever you want to call it role Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazza06 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Wasn't overly convinced by Sissoko until recently. He was probably my man of the match today, bossed it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Think he might have fell through in the middle. Once he has found his feet in this league he will take the step to the center of the pitch. Be it by drop in form with others or through injury. Think this playing out wide thing is just about blooding him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 The word beast is overused in football. Any black player over 5'6" seems to get called it. Sissoko is one in every true sense of the word, though. Strong, quick, agile, assertive. He makes Tiote look about as athletic as Nicky Butt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Apparently he'd barely stepped foot in a gym before he came here as well. Natural powerhouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 He's working perfectly with Debuchy right now and runs tirelessly, seems to be settling in very well in the position so far. I wouldn't like to play against him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Crazy how Pardew has turned him into this powerhouse of a winger. Obviously showed glimpses of it last season when asked but never in a million years expected him to become a permanent fixture there. Was absurd to even think about him playing in this position over the summer. Him and Debuchy have formed a very effective partnership though which opposing managers will now be looking to try and stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 He is a beast of a player no doubt and he grafts his nuts off, feel a little sorry for him though. He is doing a great job in that role for us but not sure he will get into the Word Cup squad in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played there for France before he joined us and he came off the bench to play RW in the first leg of the play-off. He'll be okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Pardew turned him into this powerhouse of a winger tbf He's played as a winger before, what Pardew has done well is move him away from the attacking midfielder position he was playing in the spring where he was garbage for most part. I still see him more as a box-to-box type of player, but with him and Gouffran on each flanks we look tbf to Pardew balanced just the way he likes it. It's not entertaining, it never will be, but it's been effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
