If stats meant everything, Allardyce would be the best manager around. They don't and he's not.

Was his passing good on Sunday? Did he find his man?

 

He always look for the hard pass to make so that the attack wont stop up. He dont turn and look for a safe pass to halt the attack like Jonas.

Is there a medium between losing the ball and halting the attack and a Jonas pass? You know, the type Yaya Toure or Juan Mata make?

 

Funnily enough. When playing alongside Perch & Bigi, Tiote didn't get nearly as much slack for trying hollywood balls "all the time".

Nah, not particularly, but it's not even worth mentioning, let alone crying over stats about, tbh.

Course it's worth mentioning. If you're #10 can't find his man, your team will struggle to create.

 

His passing was the worst in our side. People liek to say I am biased so i'm bringing facts.

 

1 GAME WHERE EVERY SINGLE ATTACKING PLAYER WAS BELOW HIS USUAL STANDARD.

 

Lets not act like his passing has been poor since he joined.

that count as another assist - being fouled for the freekick?

 

The premier league official account said it did :lol: don't agree with it myself :lol:

 

ah come on, you meanie

 

:D just the way i am i suppose i don't agree with people who say winning a penalty is an assist either :lol:

I can only comment on what I have witnessed, but Sissoko's priority is to play direct into goalscoring areas with ball retention only an option if there isn't a player in such an area.  Most of his attempted passes have a low likelihood of success.

 

Stats can certainly mislead without the contextual information.  There were several games last season when Tiote racked up 50/60+ passes with a near 100% pass completion rate.  The vast majority of those passes were short distance and low risk.

Your. Not you're.

 

Just because he's playing behind the striker doesn't make him a rigid number 10. If Sissoko was getting the ball and constantly looking to play Cisse in or if he was just passing, then I'd be more concerned that his game was so one dimensional than I would be if he misplaced a lot of them.

 

Sissoko is obviously a much more well-rounded player than that and it's plain to see. I don't see why it's necessary to nitpick on the one area of his game that isn't perfect, when he also plays some excellent, attacking passes and glides past the opposition for fun. It's just your usual oh contrare bullshit.

He has 2 assists in 6 games. Toure & Wilshire both have 3 assists in 24 & 18 games respectively. If we're going to be thick and base things PURELY ON FACTS his current passing game has him assisting a goal 1 in every 3 games. Juan Mata assists 1 in every 2.9.

 

Correction, 3 assists in 6 games.  1 assist in every 2 games :smug:

 

Which, of course, is misleading :lol:

Technically 4 if you count the assist for the Cisse goal that was wrongly ruled offside.

Comparing a young man who just arrived in English football to the likes of Mata, Toure, and Wilshire who have played here for many years is mind boggling.

 

Also lets not forget Moussa has completely transformed the way we attack and has more or less been the biggest catalyst for our uptick in results since January. He's been outstanding for us when even he is below his standard (and I've had no problems with him at all since he's joined either)

 

These type of posts in nearly every thread, nearly every morning I wake up are becoming so predictable now. It's getting fucking old man.

I'm just saying, in that one game, Siss passing was poor. Sometimes, he should be more patient. No more, no less. I know we wear black & white but you can criticise a performance whilst still being happy with the player.

 

Am I allowed to criticise the one performance?

 

 

I say something true and factual. I then get told it's fine that he lost the ball so much because he's trying to create and that I must want him to pass like Jonas. I mention, other players' who create loads for their sides have much higher pass completion than what Siss showed against Stoke and now i'm being unfair!
