Ste Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Like many others, I feel he is being criminally mismanaged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Sissoko is looking every inch an extremely average (and fucking frustrating) player. He must give possession away with just about every touch. If running into blind alleys and brick walls was an Olympic event we'd have a multiple gold medallist on our hands. He came on the cheap and we're getting our moneys worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Seems like mother one of our players who would benefit from some proper coaching, well actually Christ they all would. Won't get it under Pardew whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Jenas was a good athlete too. That's it really. Jenas rarely ever used it. Sissoko does. Jenas looked much better technically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 For an INTERNATIONAL, his technique is embarrassing like. Some of the stuff he was doing on Saturday man, looked like he'd been spiked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I look forward to seeing him under a different manager. He has some faults but in a more fluid side he can definitely be a player, he's shown glimpses of that already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'd like to see him in a 4-3-3. Just let him do his box to box thing, he'd benefit from having more forward options when he's on a run, he gets into cracking positions because of his own good work only for there to be a lack of players, which seems to make him uncomfortable.

Aiston Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Despite the abuse Sissoko gets, he's nowhere near the worst player for us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes from being the next Zidane to the next Carlton Palmer and back on about a 2-3 week cycle. Yep. For all his limitations he's a very decent player. Out-wide or in the middle. I was very critical of him when he had that extended run at #10 but overall he's been pretty good this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Sissoko man ... has to be in a side with a good umber of technical players that can get him into dangerous positions, and make up for his lack of technicality. Reminds me a bit of Ramires at Chelea, who was so awful technically, especially when he first arrived. It's funny because for a while they tried to hide him out wide too. Ramires hos improved bit by bit though, as he is at a professional club, and also as he has a good amount of quality around him, it makes up for what he lacks, and he can just be dynamic out there, and kind of run amok. I am worried about Sissoko. Under Pardew he will only get worse and aorse i fear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hopeless though that season I do agree with you though, under better management he'll succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hopeless though that season I do agree with you though, under better management he'll succeed. Thing is even then I loved Ramires, and I love Sissoko too, because they have so much to work with, they just need a bit of direction and need to have the right players around them. For example, If you played Sissoko in a three man midfield with Anita and Marveux, with Gouffran, Remy and Ben Arfa in a forn three ahead, i guarantee he would look a lot better. There's just more pace and technical ability there, that would allow him more space, and mask some of his errors. You play him alongside Tiote, or in a side with Shola? And welll ... it's just too much too bear, as they will all just make each other look worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ramires has got to be one of the very best players in the world on the counter. His pace over long distances is amazing. He was the difference against Barcelona in the semi's. Long busting assist for Drogba at home and a truly world class chip away. Didn't he also get the winner in the FA Cup final?

The College Dropout Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 A central midfield of Anita, Tiote & Sissoko would be brutal. Not a slice of creative guile between the 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
