Wullie Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Drop him from away games and play who instead? His low par performances on the road are only noticeable because he's been so good at SJP. Most of the others prefer to remain consistently shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 We sit deeper away just out of fear and that leaves him with fewer options when he gets the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Fair enough, must just be to the naked eye that our pitch looks bigger than theirs and the crowd aren't right on top of it FWIW Spurs have the smallest pitch in the league this season. 14 of the 20 PL clubs have exactly the same size.

Pretty sure the rules give fixed dimensions these days unless the confines of your stadium make that impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Would be interested to see how many touches he had today and how that compared to the other players. Can't remember him doing a thing in the second half. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 29 touches on the ball today Yet some people criticise Sissoko for doing nothing in games or being lazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he was terrible but cmon his contribution this season has been at another levek to Sissoko and that shows the big problem as away from home Gini has been terrible but Sissoko apart from the odd moment has had a shocking season.

Jaqen Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Sissoko is our biggest creative threat in pretty much every game and he's always the first to get stick or called to be dropped He's had more assists this season than Townsend has in his career.

merlin Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 This guy can play - we know that - but when he is finished with football he will have another great second career by going on stage and re-inventing himself as 'The Invisible Man'....esp when he is not playing to home audiences....

DJ_NUFC Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think someone should compare him to The Invisible Man. The character from the book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Made zero contribution last night except for a foul on Barry right at the end. Literally nowt else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The fact we create nothing away from home and rarely have the ball in the opposition penalty area is exactly why he struggles away from home, he's a goalscoring midfielder who doesnt get a chance away from SJP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get a hold of the ball and run with it and is a good passer. He was just totally disinterested last night and woefully unfocused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Tbh Evertons 2 DMs closed him down real quick first half when he got the ball. And he really didnt try to make him self available much. I would drop him for next away match and move Perez to no 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Such an odd player. Arguably been our player of the season. Yet he for the most part, he is tragic when we're not playing at home. Like there are actually 10 minute spells, where you don't hear his name called or even realise he's on the pitch. Seems strange to drop your top scorer. But I think I'd leave him out for Chelsea. He offers nowt when we play away. Don't think it's all on him, mind. Our tactics away from home all season has been 'don't let the other team score, don't get forward in numbers, don't try and keep possession and defend as deep as possible.' It's been working really well so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
