Yes - he was. ineffective. Had loads of opportunities to run at Villa, but seemed to be scared to, so passed sideways instead. I'd go so far as to say he was a waste of space, hence Poch replacing him with Eriksen, thank goodness. The game changed from that moment on.
Sissoko, on the other hand, tried to make an impact every time he got the ball.
I still don't think he played a good game, but when he scores I can live with it. So I'm happy he got on the end of those two chances, and did what he does the best - striking a ball.

I also think he was taken off as a precaution after his goal- saving challenge on the half way line.
He was solid today. Hope he has no reaction to the game
All's well that ends well, hate to admit it but the game changed as soon as Eriksen came on. If the reception he got doesn't make him see that Tottenham is the place to be, then he needs his bumps feeling!
No you're wrong.
Winks was very good. Positionally excellent...drove forward...picked nice passes...defensively excellent. Very good performance.
I can imagine most players running into open ground and passing to a free man when the other team is desperately pushing forward.
That stadium was LOUD today. In fact, I'd say it was joyous, ecstatic - and totally amazing. 2 hours later and I think my ears have just about recovered.
Those Villa fans had a treat! Not only did they have 60 happy minutes, but they also got to visit the best stadium in the land.
Ndombele-Winks-Lo Celso
Moura-Kane-Son
I think that’s our best front 6 post-Eriksen if everyone is healthy on firing on all cylinders. Lamela/Dele as rotation and options off the bench.
Give me that shit you are smoking because you must be high as a kite.
Winks 34 forward passes, 33 passes in their third, 2 chances created
Sissoko 14 forward passes, 22 attacking third, 1 chance created (90th minute)
Winks was on the pitch 30 minutes less than Sissoko and played entirely as the deepest midfielder when he was. Sissoko played about 20 minutes as a CM, 20 minutes as an Attacking right midfielder the rest as the L8, the last
You are talking utter bollocks.
Um, Mrs. P....bumps feeling? Please translate.
you really don't "get" football, do you?
I'm o for the scots making a mark in englandshire but McGinn in nothing more than a average honest pro doing the best he can he was stand out at Hibs cos they're dog shit! He disappeared in games for them anaw what got him through was he kept going technique and skill is lacking but.......with the right management/coaching what skills he does have could be improved and used better at a better club.
So Winks, who was our best player in the first hour along with KWP, was ineffective, while Sissoko, who was dogshit until he went into defensive midfield, had a "very good all round performance"?
Wow.
I'll wake up in a cold sweat in the days to come remembering that shot from six yards out that went for a throw in
Yes, and yours could do with a bit of rejuvenation.
