Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

[slartibartfast]

He definitely has a lot to offer these days but in front of goal? Christ I've never seen anyone, professional or amateur, lack less composure in front of goal. Its quite something to behold.

I'm not saying we should play him as a wing-back this season, because I doubt anybody will agree and even I'm not in full agreement. However, I will say that I am going to be using him in that position on FIFA. Make of that what you will.

In his brief cameos at RB, Sissoko has looked brilliant. He's quick, strong and has unbelievable stamina - I think we could do a hell of a lot worse than playing him as a wing back.

Definately an option

Yep

Your not going to see the best MS against a team parking the bus and with 70% possession. Power player.

Still done decent yesterday mind. Anyone expecting delicate passing opening teams up just lol - find another sport.

Completely agree with that and was looking for an opinion that tallied with mine. At 30 years old it's natural we will be looking to replace him and I'm sure he won't be as hard to replace as a Dembele or Alderweireld. For now I'd try and use him in the games against Man City where we will be under pressure and need someone like him to break out with the ball and go on those runs.

If only the club could teach him to shoot he would be a monster.

It's an amazing thing to behold alright. He looked like he had two left feet for a long time with us. Now he's rock solid, great off the ball and increasingly valuable dribbler, until he gets around the box. Weird one. If Poch can solve that, he should be knighted or something.

And so was his reply, in particular suggesting a competition between the 2 for most goals for the season.

 

[NinjaTuna]

He'd have been better off just trying to straight up run it through the keeper and into the net for that chance on Saturday lol

 

[coys200]

30 today.

The only thing with this is that it'll probably moussa will end up shooting more

Definately an option

He has no end product so lacks a key part of any modern fullback’s toolset

That sounds like Kyle Walker tbh so that means he probably is suited to a modern day RB.

I thought Sissoko looked very good at RB when he replaced KWP against Newcastle. He made 3 very decent crosses.

Same here. His positioning was a bit off at times but I actually reckon RB could be a great position for him. He has insane stamina, thrives when he has space to run into, is tough to get past and his crossing is certainly no worse than our other fullbacks. It also prevents Poch playing him in the middle, where I think he should only be a backup at best.

At the very least he'd be a decent option against teams that park the bus - he looked more of a threat going forward in his brief cameo than KWP has over the past few games.

Much more physical than our other rbs as well.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Would like to see him play RB at the weekend.

Don't want to see him in midfield anymore tbh.

I can't get past how bloody awful he was when he kept getting played wide right. He came to life when he had more space in CM and wasn't hemmed in by the touchline. I have no reason to believe that all of this would suddenly disappear if he played RB.
