Ketsbaia Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thought he was one of our poorer players today, but he set up both goals so he's earnt his wage. By complete coincidence, the Sky cameras were in town. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I don't think anyone should have any complaints today, both him and Wijnaldum are expected to run a lot of miles due to the lack of drive from central midfield. They both put in a shift defensively as well which was the key to getting the win today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I thought he was still shit today, loads of sloppy passes, piss poor attempts at taking on his man and over hit balls. Yes he worked hard, ran about and got involved, but if he had any actual technical quality allied to that kind of work rate and running he would actually be immense. As such he isn't and never will be because he's shit on the ball most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The first goal is so simple, just put in an early ball with whip and it'll usually cause problems. Second was great. Still thought he was really patchy overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's harsh, him and Gini are expected to work both ends of the pitch due to our lack of movement in central midfield. He doesn't get a lot of room to manoeuvre but still quite often gets a way and put in a decent ball. His number of assists should be telling. They can't all be flukes.

TRon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Well at least that means we'll get some decent money when we inevitably cash in on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 What an enigma this man is. First half he was awful. Looked half asleep. Second half came alive, things started clicking, and he fucking dropped Moreno like a little child on that counter - Moussa at his best. Guy kills me, he has the potential to be brilliant with that type of pace and strength... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 What an enigma this man is. First half he was awful. Looked half asleep. Second half came alive, things started clicking, and he f***ing dropped Moreno like a little child on that counter - Moussa at his best. Guy kills me, he has the potential to be brilliant with that type of pace and strength... Ultimately that's why we were able to buy him and why we still have him. If bigger clubs do their scouting properly they'll realise how massively inconsistent he is and stay well away, no matter how much he spouts off in the media. If he was consistent he would be one of the better midfielders in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 His style is inconsistent by nature, he plays quickly and doesn't quite have the technique needed to make it 100% reliable. If he did he would be amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 TBH when he's arsed - he can force his way to the edge of the box and his final pull back/ball is always pretty decent. He's stronger or faster than his fullback 9 times outta 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 We just need to replace him with a real right-winger and get rid of this toxic, entitled fuck. He's one of the few real 'bad apples' we've had at the club, far worse than HBA in my opinion. At least HBA never chose when to turn up and when not to.

TRon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 You have to read reports from neutrals to gauge how a player's done these days, on here some players faces don't fit. You would think he played badly yesterday reading some posts, but he was actually one of our best players especially second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realized how badly constructed this post was . It sounded like I was no longer an unabashed, heart-eyed fanboy of HBA, which is tantamount to blasphemy for me. So, corrected in bold. What I meant to say was, Sissoko is miles below others who've been accused of being bad apples at this club in the past, in that he only seems to show up when he wants. I've both given up on him completely this year, questioned his attitude, and praised him, constantly this year. And it all points to entitlement.

The same neutrals who say we shouldn't have sacked Pardew, and how great ginger Jack is? People are frustrated with Sissoko's seemingly picky attitude, nobody's questioned his talent. He's got the highest assists for us this year, no? He seems to only do it when he feels up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In individual games where a neutral has watched the game and is generally knowledgeable about football they can be better judges of who played well rather than fans who may be biased for or against certain players.

I'd far rather have than than Colback holding the ball, tapping it forward a yard then passing it backwards. I just hope when we replace him with this new right winger he doesn't disappear up his own arse like Thauvin. I think we've got far bigger problem areas than Sissoko.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Not sure Sissoko could be described as 'toxic' or a bad apple like, he's just answered some questions about whether he'd like to play in the Champions League. We sign players in order to sell them anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 For some reason, this guy always seems to come alive midway through the second half. His pace and power running with the ball on the counter is devastating. Didn't have a good game today iMO, but he's so dangerous when he's in full flight. Shame it only happens for 15 or 20 minutes per match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 When we were hitting them on the counter, his pace and power were causing them all sorts of problems. He could have easily had an assist right at the end although he did have a few poor crosses. Can't fault his effort over the last two games at least, you can probably see why big clubs havn't come calling for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it only happens for 15 or 20 minutes per match. I imagine, it is because normally the game naturally becomes more stretched in the second half of games. When he has space to run into, he is class. The run and ball through to Cisse was evidence of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
