Lush Vlad Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Sissoko is too dangerous not to play like Nah. Was a waste of a shirt the majority of the game today, and that is quite often the case. Didn't see the game like but just saw highlights and he created two absolutely brilliant chances like And Shearer thought he was "absolutely outstanding" He was shite in the first half and looked to be sulking about and seemed so half arsed. Got a bit more room in the second and whilst a bit wasteful at times, he was back to his best with some really powerful runs and was responsible for most of our good play. Played a lovely through ball for Cisse, too. On SDJ. I quite like him. He is probably our best passer of the ball, always looks to play it early and into the right areas. He seems a really crafty player. He is just so immobile and I'm not sure what his role will be for the rest of the season. Mitrovic and Perez are too good to be riding the bench every week. But then I don't see where de Jong plays, if we start them two? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I like de Jong a lot. My type of player. I want him and Thauvin to start more games for us than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The pass that set up the infamous Cisse save was mint. Didn't even look, just pinged it right in Papiss' path first time. I really hope he starts against Villa, I think he could make a massive difference as his one-touch play is just so quick, it should open up spaces for us much better around the box.

John P Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I think De Jong and Ayoze could be great together with some quick, one-touch interplay around the box. The only problem would be fitting them two and Mitrovic into a balanced team with Sissoko and Wijnaldum. Not really sure how we could do it without going all out attack and leaving ourselves massively exposed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 should keep his place for villa imo. mitor or perez to come in for cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Would also definitely start him against Villa but I can see McClaren dropping him. Mitrovic and Perez also deserve to start but I can't see how all can play in the same team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cort Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 His play might not be overtly obvious but on the last 2 occasions he has played, his link up with Wijnaldum has been a positive. We need his intelligence and movement coupled with the excitement of Ayoze. All it needs is for McClaren to grow a pair and drop the French coward.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 FWIW, I would actually try and get De Jong in the team, but it would be at the expense of either Anita or Colback, with Wini maybe sitting deeper, but that might upset the balance of the team, I dunno.

Village Idiot Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I think it's a problem when Sissoko is your most creative player. But that's no reason to drop him, certainly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I like the idea of getting De Jong, Perez, Mitro, Gini and Sissoko all in the side together but think we need a better holding midfielder than Anita to make it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Colback adds to any balance of our team. He's a warm body who gets a yellow card. Definitely, I meant more taking Wini out of a position that's working really well for us. That's probably a bad idea. We're desperate for a couple of new centre midfielders and centre backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably a bad idea. We're desperate for a couple of new centre midfielders and centre backs. True. This is where I think you play Ayoze wide left and have him do the same stuff he's doing now but a little more rigid in he stays more on the left side, push Gini inside more and get him ghosting in around the box like he's done for us to score his goals. I like little Vurn, but the solution here is moving Sissoko or Wijnaldum central and signing a proper CM who can do both ends of the pitch work and cover for what could be 5 blitzing attackers.

BrettNUFC Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hope he keeps his place in the side for Villa, we will need his intelligent link up play. Was gutted for him when Cisse bloked his goalbound effort, he did so well to create the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cort Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Dropping the player who's been involved in all of our goals, mint idea. The bloke who turns up for 4-5 games a season. Sissoko will go back to being shit in no time; the better option is for the other 4 to play and build an understanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
