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...

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...
The College Dropout 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. Not the first time he's had 90 minutes and been totally anonymous. When he's having games like that he needs subbing. Half time if we have to. Or plain dropped for away games. It's been like this literally all season. How SMC hasn't picked up on this and hooked him is a crime. Pretty much play with 10 men away from home. He doesn't do anything.

It's been working really well so far. Quietly kept - he pulls similar performances at home a few times, although there's a good chance he'll score. He's not a player who seems to want to get on the ball and dictate a game. For sure - SMC is getting it wrong away from home but it's never a tactic to have an invisible player.

Only a professional outfit would dare to drop their best overall player and scorer in favor of getting actual results when needed. His radar was totally off last night. He didn't seem to anticipate passes to and from teammates, made the wrong runs, head down...he was a total mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He really is a bit like SDJ as no 10 in away games. Not moving to channels which would open up space in the middle, not coming deep to collect it, not making runs past his strike partner. Is that the instruction that he must stick right as a no 10 and make no move whatsoever? Home games he seems to everywhere, making tricks near the corner flag and overloading at wings and sometimes making late runs in to the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a player who seems to want to get on the ball and dictate a game. For sure - SMC is getting it wrong away from home but it's never a tactic to have an invisible player. Well yeah, I'd certainly hope it isn't But the whole team are that bad away from home and we're so negative, I don't see how he is supposed to dictate a game or get on the ball more? You think that isn't contributing to him being an 'invisible player.' He could get more involved, granted. But what if his instructions are to play as a 10 further up the pitch? Is he meant to then drop deep and start looking for the ball? Who knows. We don't have a gameplan away from home, as far as I can see. I think since he's been shifted to play from the left to play as a 10, on the whole, he has been far better. But his away form is a big concern. But then again, the whole team's away form is horrendous. He played well at Arsenal. That's the only away game I can remember seeing where he's done much. I think he has usually been good at home. At least in the last couple of months, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He as shown his quality in home games so for me it's all down to McLaren's tactics away from home. They just don't understand what he wants from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
