So Jose’s fucked then in your opinion?You are kind of making my point here. Pardew didn't win MOTY after Sissoko arrived did he? He ended up getting the sack and they were subsequently relegated with Maclaren, but the season before they only survived on the last day I think.
Sissoko was never at the heart of Pochettino's midfield that title challenged, in fact, there is a linear relationship to our demise in league performances and results to an increase in the use of Sissoko at the "heart of our midfield". And guess what...things get shitter and shitter until he ends up getting the sack from a virtually un-sackable job.
As far as being the "heart of our midfield" that took us to a CL final (whilst our league form and performances tanked more and more) he played less minutes than 6 other players and only a few minutes more than another 5 in a campaign that saw us scrape out of the group on GD thanks to PSV winning a game they had nothing riding on, that then saw us lose 3 of our last 5 games in the competition, and pointed our way into losing the fucking final, another game he was atrocious in. He was no more at the heart of our midfield than Winks was.
As for Deschamps, no I don't. He hadn't won a domestic trophy since 2010. He has had one of the best squads there's been in international football in the last 30 years or so, maybe more. He's managed to piss away a home Euro playing shite football, grind his way to a WC (completely without Sissoko) and as I've posted, French fans are pretty unimpressed with his personnel choices, tactics (and particularly Sissoko - see above).
Dogshit is your term, not mine, I'd prefer to just call him an utterly inadequate footballer, technically, tactically, but in relative terms, relativity being top echelons of football, using your terms, he is dogshit, and generally speaking, in as much as you can never say everything is one player's fault any more than you can say it's one player's contribution, it's not gone great for any manager who's hung their hat on him.
And Poch got sacked for picking him as did Pardew?
Dearie me
Lmfao
I’m sure COVID must be down to him too in your world
