Guess I won't be Cirkin my gherkin tonight after all... ?
It's like some of you only watch what Spurs players do when on the ball. Given that between 40-50% of the match the other team have possession, you need to appreciate how bloody hard players like Sissoko work for the team in covering ground to block passes, chase, make tackles/interceptions etc. So yes - I think Jose does watch Sissoko and sees him give 100% to the team.
It's ok, we're playing Dad's Army at CB lol
We don't know exactly what's happening in the dressing room between Jose and Tanguy, but it's everyone's interest to get the best out of Ndombele - our marquee signing. He's not trusted to start yet, but if fingers crossed we can get a decent lead then you would think Jose will be inclined to give him some good minutes off the bench. Let's not assume Tanguy is an "outcast" just yet, it's been a disrupted first season and hopefully he will be fully up to speed to play more in his second seasonI agree - I find the benefits of playing Sissoko but I just see no benefits in outcasting Ndombele.... some may argue he doesnt deserve an opportunity though and see why but in my view he absolutely does

Because everyone else at the club has said he's been training really wellAs I said the other day, I think it's pretty clear that it goes beyond football matches (individual performances, how the team is doing, results, etc) with Ndombele, at the moment they are irrelevant really. To my mind they want to see him approach life 24/7 as a footballer - whether that's his fitness, diet, application and attitude day in day out - in a more professional, disciplined, focused manner before he gets meaningful minutes on the pitch because that seems to be where the problem lies. He isn't banished so you assume there is a way back for him but he's got to work hard for it, and not just for a few days in training, and prove he wants it and has the dedication to be a top level professional.
Don't get how that's hard for people to see tbh.
He had a poor game against Sheffield so he who should be got rid off? Then that would apply to most of the team as Sissoko was far from the worst Spurs player in that particular match. What a juvenile statement to makeDid a great job of that against Sheffield United
There’s rumours on twitter that cirkin will start?

Im guessing that your suggestion or opinion to replace sissoko is ndombele?It's because Aurier is the only RB in the squad, and the only two players who could feasibly be shoehorned into replacing him (Foyth and Tanganga) are both injured. Many of us are frustrated with him but until the transfer window opens there are simply no alternatives. Not the case with Sissoko.
