WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Surprised he played the full 90, tbh. He looked absolutely fucked and was limping at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 He put in the effort but a lot of things didn't come off for him today. Good to see the work rate but still frustrating at times giving the ball away cheaply in advanced positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J is Justice Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Funnily enough I thought he was fairly gash tonight. Tried hard but gave it away almost every time, hardly anything came off. Compare and contrast with games earlier in the season when he'd put less effort in (and get slagged to f*** for it) but have many more meaningful contributions to our play. Weird. I thought the same.

ElDiablo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Usually when he's on a burst 1 on 1 with a defender he rinses them, few times he picked the wrong option or did a silly turn or touch which either lost posession or slowed the attack down. Overall though he did well, nice to see him getting back late in the game to stop De Bruyne when he was tiring and the latter had gone past Tiote on the wing.

Zero Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It depends on what you expect. In terms of final outcome he was shit tonight. But he covered the whole pitch and together with Tiote we didn't lose control of the midfield against man city which is simply magnificent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Can't believe he missed that 1 on 1. Had done so well to get in that position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yeah he lost the ball a lot, but also won it loads and had a massive part in the goal. I'd take this Sissoko over the one that we've seen for most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thought his work rate was immense. Chased down every ball, refused to give up on lost causes, looked every bit a real captain tonight (more so than Shelvey ever has). Long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Funnily enough I thought he was fairly gash tonight. Tried hard but gave it away almost every time, hardly anything came off. Compare and contrast with games earlier in the season when he'd put less effort in (and get slagged to f*** for it) but have many more meaningful contributions to our play. Weird. I'd agree with that. I think at the minute, we need performances like last night, over the ones from earlier in the season. If all of our players work as hard as that, then I think we'll grind out some results. He's been a passenger for so long, that it's nice to see the change in him. In fairness to him, since Rafa has been here. I think there has been a noticeable shift in the effort he puts in. He had just been stuck out on the left, where he looks terrible.

Ash Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Can't believe he missed that 1 on 1. Had done so well to get in that position He made his mind up to shoot too early, could have got further forward before shooting or even tried to take it past Hart.

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Defensively he was very good. Consistently tracked back and helped the team. Offensively less so, he should have arguably scored when he went through on goal, and a lot of his passes and touches gave the ball away. Saying that he got an assist, so not all bad.

The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Aye excellent work rate. Great pass to Anita. Didn't go well for him in the final third but I liked what i saw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Can't remember the chance that well but how much cover was there after Kompany? If he went down could it have been a red? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Can't remember the chance that well but how much cover was there after Kompany? If he went down could it have been a red? It'd never have been given but Mangala was on the left hand side of Kompany as he broke, about 10 yards away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Rather he have a pop and not get tackled by Mangala too. He rushed his shot when he decided to take it as Mangala was about to get a foot in. He was awesome last night, love this version of Moussa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
