Guest BenArfa10 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I honestly think Pardew tells him and Gouffran to focus first and foremost on their defensive work, only telling them to get forward every now and again. I imagine the plan is to just give the ball to Cabaye or Ben Arfa (when playing) to create everything for us. Sissoko and Gouffran can't get forward so much because it exposes us. This is basically why when Cabaye doesn't perform neither does the team because everything in the final third is designed to come from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs to do it more though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Sissoko are both tasked with defensive responsibilities on the outside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 What's interesting with Sissoko is that he's a midfielder playing on the wing. So he does offer us the possibility to switch to a diamond formation if we want to be compact in the middle and if the opponent isn't attacking us much down the right.

Tiresias Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm not sure i've ever seen a diamond formation look convincing in the premier league, not sure if it's the lack of width or if it's that the midfielders tending to drift wide and leaving midfield sparser than it should be on paper. That said I like Sissoko on the right, especially with Debuchy in behind, Debuchy's attacking prowess allows him to drift more centrally and add to numbers there when necessary.

Guest Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 He's like the opposite to Barton after being moved from the centre to the flank. Where Barton's strength was crossing for the targetman from deep, Sissoko's is powering runs to the byline and pulling it back for the striker or midfielder arriving into the area. Makes sense when our strikers' heading isn't their main strength and it's working a treat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 They attack when we've got the ball and they defend when they don't. The same as any team. Players who have predominantly played on the wing getting 8 goals and 8 assists between them half way through the season isn't bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I like the guy but it seems as though every time he goes past a person its due to the ball bouncing off his shin, or basically messing up when trying to dribble - only for the ball to land fortuitously in front of him. If it works, it works. No qualms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
