Andymc1 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'll never really enjoy watching players with limited technical ability. I prefer to watch footballers play the game and not just athletes. I understand that Sissoko has had a positive influence on many of our good wins this season, just found the rugby reference relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Should be a pretty clear consensus on who's shit and who's not by now given the state of our tactics, team selection, and general form of our players that is far too extreme. Our manager owes his life to the likes of Krul & Colo, Cabaye, and Ba/Remy when you consider crucial goals in seasons where, had they not performed out of their skin at certain times we'd have been scrapping in the lower places of the league.

BrettNUFC Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't think there's too many on here that don't like him. Think he's one of our few players who is generally well received by fans. Plain to see the potential he has, only been in the PL a year and hopefully he continue to develop with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Aye, instead of raising legitimate points about certain players' actual ability, let's just just have post after post of mindless Pardew abuse. Morph the football forum into one super thread in which we all exclaim just how much we want Pardew to die. Loads of gifs. Banter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Legitimate point about Moussa Sissoko: He is a physical beast of a football player who is being used incorrectly by his manager in positions that limit his effectiveness on a match due to the gameplan and tactics that are installed by his manager. He's not a DM, ACM/#10, Second Striker, Right or Left Winger/Midfielder. The best form of his career was in a central role along side a defensive minded midfielder (Capoue). Yes, his physical attributes lend himself to be effective at times in the various other positions above, but that shouldn't be where he plays majority of a season. He's best at deep runs, counter attacking and 1-2s. He's also a force when he's standing up his man and getting his body in front and using his tremendous upper body strength to muscle opponents off the ball and burst forward with pace. We bash the manager because on the whole, there are more players in our squad who have regressed in form (and value) since we have signed them over the course of 3 seasons. So finally, when the manager does more of playing him where he's been most comfortable throughout his career, versus playing him in those other positions, then let's f***ing talk.

Pata Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I understand Kanji's point and agree on principal. I just don't see why we have to bring Pardew into the discussion when it's about Moussa's technical ability. KaKa clearly wasn't serious and the joke was pretty funny. Personally I would play Moussa as either openside flanker or fly-half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
