No one ever said that, you are makin it up now. Probably a misconceived perception of him by you is spilling out?Completely agree with this, one of Sissoko's finest attributes is that he is a physical freak, he's hardly ever injured, he still has 3 to 4 good seasons ahead of him. Been an absolute power house this season and fall all the 'bad egg' vibe we heard about him, he seems to be very well liked by the squad. His experience and physical presence is needed in this squad. I'm still over the moon about his transition, so happy for him.
I know we’re at a point now where we’re all genuinely pleased and surprised by his progress, but if anything, he’s testimony to Poch’s ethos that you don’t sign to play at Spurs, you sign to train and then maybe, if all things align, you get to play. What’s truly remarkable for both Poch and Sissoko is that they both committed to that ethos. Sissoko had a torrid two years but he dug in when things were awful for him, was by all accounts a model professional, and bought into Poch’s philosophy. And Poch to his credit was loyal to his own philosophy- he could have sidelined Sissoko totally after his abysmal showing, but he saw something in him and worked with him. And the truly remarkable thing is that Sissoko came good when we needed him most; this season when we were short in central midfield.
It’s a wonderful tale of loyalty and resilience, resurrection and devotion. And any aspiring player going through the doldrums, or any coach frustrated by a player’s seemingly ineffectiveness should take note

Yeah, I definitely remember Newcastle fans saying he only tried hard for "big games".What?
Type in bad egg or attitude in the search bar, and you'll see there was a lot of people talking about his reputation for having a bad attitude when we signed him. We heard the same from Newcastle fans.
Sissoko has never had a bad attitude, that's made up nonsense from salty Newcastle fans
Yep, the team owe him massivelyhas to be player of the season, no? when was the last game he got a minute off? With our midfield woes we'd be well and truly fucked if he hadnt stepped up this season.
Definitely player of the season, without him we’d be nowhere near CLWould've been crazy to think 12 months ago that whilst 1-0 down in a NLD following some poor from it would've been Moussa who'd be the one to step up and put a big performance in for the team. The engine on him is completely ridiculous. I cant remember another Tottenham player who covers ground like he can. The fact that he plays as destructive midfielder, a right midfielder and basically has to do Trippier's defensive work for him all at the same time is testament to not only his athleticism but also how switched on he his mentally. He's been a colossus for us this season and would be a well deserving Player of the Year.
