Hopefully you mean Red Bull. Yes he might well do ok there.Keep him at RB now - he’ll do well there
He did create the only 2 good chances we had. If Kane and Lucas score from them, thats another two assists.I don't get what he's good at. He has low football iq, can't pass, can't shoot but he can storm down the flanks every now and then and everyone is in awe.
I think Sissoko is almost the very definition of a glass half full/empty player and today he was on the half empty side for the most part.I don't get what he's good at. He has low football iq, can't pass, can't shoot but he can storm down the flanks every now and then and everyone is in awe.
We are definitely reaching the point where Sissoko's technical limitations begin to threaten his place in the team, there was a moment against City where he picked up the ball on the left touchline and started motoring forward but despite having the ball right in front of him he never actually had it under control and only made it a few yards before being easily dispossessed.
Son, Lo Celso and Eriksen are pushing to play and Dele will be back soon, he will probably return to being a player we put on to close out the game against tired legs for 20 minutes. That's how we will see the best of him, like with his assist against Villa. He just motored past three tired challenges and played a simple pass to Kane. He needs big spaces and knackered opponents to really affect games.
Despite being too afraid to cross the ball for most of the game he actually produced our only two chances with crosses.
When he plays as a CM his limitations are really becoming harmful to the team, he refuses to turn on the ball if there is an opponent within 20 yards of him and he always points to other players instead of demanding the ball when he’s in space. We have to start building a new midfield, the pairing of Sissoko and Winks doesn’t work. Hopefully Ndombele and Dele will be ready soon.
Even the commentators were taking the piss today. Seems like a nice guy, but should still be somewhere like Newcastle. Terrible when he gets within twenty yards of the oppo goal. I don’t even get excited when I see us breaking and realise he’s got the ball.
Playing for a CL team and a French international.How he made it at this level with such shocking football ability is the biggest mystery of the 21st century
Without him at the present time I dread to think where we would be.
