Acceleration is quite related to height. Top speed has little to do with it.  Acceleration is also more important than top speed in football. You don't often get to top speed as there isn't enough space. Even Usain Bolt is quite slow off the start compared to most sprinters. There are many footballers out here that I don't think would dominate actual races with their counterparts, but are very fast on the pitch because of their acceleration over short distances. People like Valbuena, Messi, and Ben Arfa come to mind. Even most speedsters such as Walcott, Oba, and Owen are under six foot. It is not surprising that Sissoko's greatest shows of pace are long 40-60 year runs through the middle on counters and chasedowns.

He's mint. Not sure who it was that said he didn't have technical ability but they've been proven wrong over the last couple of weeks. He displayed some lovely bits of skill and control on Saturday.

he can't pass very well at all, but makes up for this in many other facets.

It can be hit and miss at times, he did play a couple of great balls on Saturday though.

Bossed their midfield Saturday, starting to show that early form again. Showed some great close control as well

 

that couple of times at close quarters when he looked like getting tackled but flicked the ball over the midfielders head then stepped around him and took the ball was fuckin class like

:thup: he was brilliant on Saturday IMO. I rewatched the game and he and Anita were brilliant in the midfield. Also Cabaye got through a stupid amount of graft

 

Yep totally. We will see big improvements now with Sissoko and Cabaye both playing in positions that suit them better.
