I don't think he's been good enough again lately. No goals this season and 5 assists is a really poor return given the amount of games he's played.

 

I'm really not keen on Townsend for the fee reported but given similar game time I'm fairly sure he'd have a more impressive return than that.

 

5 assists is alright TBH, can't see how he's ever going to score so I wouldn't expect that. Townsend as a replacement would be a massive gamble, for me Sissoko is still our second best player behind Wijnaldum.

He might only have 5 assists but for chances created he's on 42, Gini is on 31, Colback 9, Anita 4.

 

To give an equivalent Norwich's top player on this is on 33, Swansea 33, AFCB 30 and Sunderland 29.

He could have two more assists on Saturday if we could find a striker who can finish.

For comparison, we were in the top 6 when Solano was here with a squad comparable to our position.

 

Edit: He also took set-pieces.

 

Double-edit: That's not to say you're wrong, he should be scoring 4-6+ goals from RW.

Was absolutely shite but:

 

Number of on a plate chances created by Moussa Sissoko - 1

Number of chances at all created by other NUFC players - 0

 

Exactly. They were all shit, Sissoko included, but he wasn't the worst.

He's only useful when running with the ball in to space. When under pressure close quarters he's useless.

 

... is the problem. And as our major weakness is working the ball through the midfield, he can be quite a liability. If we score first and the other team have to throw players forward, he's good on the break. But we don't look likely to score first with our current set up.

 

I'd give things a go without him and see what happens. What's there to lose.
