Guest palnese Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If the loss of Cabaye allows Sissoko to be the main man in midfield, things may not be too bad. Has the potential to be one of the best. Still need reinforecments though. Bench was grim tonight. No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexthegreat Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Steadily getting better and better over the course of the season. Had some shocking decisions go against him tonight from the diabolical referee - which seemed to fire him up a bit. I don't think he'll ever be a top player in the final third, but it would be interesting to move him inside to see if he's capable of really imposing himself a game from the middle of the pitch.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Love him when he's fired up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Think his time of the wing might have helped prepare him to be more effective centrally in this league, can only get better I reckon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Good at times but also very clumsy with the ball at his feet at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Played well overall, but have to admit I was screaming at the screen in the second half when he broke and had Remy in a great position to get in behind for several seconds and didn't pass. He looked like he was scared to try it and held onto the ball for a safer pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samag Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Very Harshly Booked.. But thought he played well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Should be the muscle in the middle alongside tiote as an enforcer and Anita as the dictator. Would allow a front three to be a genuine front line rather than a midfield plus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Surprise surprise, looked better in the middle.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Technically he isn't good enough to start ahead of Anita IF we sign a quality replacement for Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Very Harshly Booked.. But thought he played well The booking annoyed me, to think he got booked for that an Snodgrass had nothing for the foul on Debuchy a few moments before was very annoying.

alexf Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 He's a powerful box to box midfielder or winger but not a number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Comparing him to Lampard is a wierd one, he isn't a great finisher and he beats players by steamrolling through and his constant running... Whereas... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 His passing is poor, often clumsy and indecisive when he gets into position. His movement and power are great features though. But definately not a number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas... I wasn't comparing him to Lampard. I was questioning what a box to box midfielder is. Yaya scores goals too. Loads of them. He's a box to box midfielder.

TRon Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I always thought a box to box midfielder scored, a la Lampard? He looked like he had goals in him when he arrived, and he's scored a couple of belters to be fair, but he doesn't seem to be getting in the box enough and the goals have dried up. But then we never seem to have many players attacking the box when we get in good positions, so I'm wondering if that's down to the player or the instruction from the manager.

alexf Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yeah I just meant with his athleticism he can get around the pitch better than anyone. Good at tracking back but almost always is supporting the attack also. What let's him down is his composure infront of goal. He can lay on assists as we have seen from his time on the right wing but when he gets chances he never looks like scoring. I think he will still chip in with the odd goal, and he can only get better as he has great potential but for the moment he's not really a goal threat.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 http://www.nufc.com/ Moussa Sissoko has created 48 chances for his team mates in the PL this season from 23 appearances. His nearest rival was Yohan Cabaye with 33 in 17 games. Six of that Sissoko total came at Norwich on Tuesday, the most by a Newcastle player in the PL all season.

jdckelly Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Surprise surprise, looked better in the middle.... I wouldn't say he looked bad by anyones standards on the right, I actually liked him there personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I always thought a box to box midfielder scored, a la Lampard?

But then we never seem to have many players attacking the box when we get in good positions, so I'm wondering if that's down to the player or the instruction from the manager. He's averaging more goals for us than Toulouse. I hope this answers your question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
