Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I like him, if he had raker technique then he would be Yaya Toure BUT he doesn't nor can we afford a Yaya His pace and power drives the team forward, would certainly keep him in the middle and think with an extended run there he will be class Toure is more than about technique, if Sissoko had technique he still wouldn't be anywhere near the level of Toure. As for driving the team forward... to what purpose? That's like saying Shola was a physical presence up front. It means fuck all unless something comes of it and for us Sissoko driving forward often results in sweet FA just as Shola putting his weight about often did. Honestly he's a nothing player.

Novocastrian Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 What is he good at, what does he do? Not seen him? What's gan on in here? Been very critical of him in the past but he looked very lively on the counter today. Certainly wasn't awful. This Thought he was our best player today. Maybe, he was up there. We have had pedestrian midfields before with static players keen to pass sideways. This player is happy to take the ball and run with it, putting pressure on the opposition and creating space, that's what we've been missing and something you don't see that often, see the England team for confirmation. Isn't that what football is about? No? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 To elaborate on the point that HTT seems to miss. When Toure breaks forward he has midfielders around him breaking at pace, strikers ahead of him with world class movement. When Sissoko breaks forward he has Rivière ahead of him running in straight lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its not man, Shola was awful with no redeeming qualities Sissoko does drive the team forward, to the extent it puts the opposition on the back foot and he creates a gap between midfield and defence, something that nobody else in the team offers We just need to surround him with players that are more creative and have movement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Still can't see why this love in with Sissoko or Anita - what actually do they do? Do they create loads of chances - no - Do they score loads of goals - no. Not saying either are rubbish players but over these last two years apart from the odd game, honestly what have either done? Sissoko loses the ball so often it's unreal and when he goes on a run it's head down before running into problems. Anita is tidy with 10 yard passes but does not deliver many killer balls and is very easily brushed of the ball in central midfield. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to me it's so obvious what the problems are and let's not even start on the defence or up front. Today's Pardew team fully demonstrated his total philosophy on football - stop the other team from playing and hopefully get a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 There was a stat (shown on here during the WC) that had him in the top ten creater of chances in the league last season, he was around 6-8th iirc. Fuck knows how. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm not a big advocate of stats before using your gut, but that link quite clearly shows that he got 6 assists last season, created 77 chances and so on if you look at the key. It's there for a reason. If you think Sissoko's shit, fair enough, but the stats are there to read into yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
