Sissoko is extremely good defensively, a very athletic player who is a nightmare to get past, the problem is when he is in possession, you never have any idea what will happen next as his distribution is so poor and his pass selection is random and often nonsense.If you like Jose as a coach and you think he can make the difference against other teams and their managers, you need to value what Sissoko offers for the team - and for Jose. He is one of the players that allows Mourinho to work his magic.
Now, we went from a team that couldn´t defend against anybody to a team that kept two consecutive clean sheets against two of the best attacks in the league (and in Europe), and yet people still think Sissoko is just a donkey who ideally wouldn´t be playing in our first team.
Sissoko has nothing to do with our defensive organization? I mean, really?
Once again, Sissoko did his job extremely well yesterday, protecting the space between Aurier and Rodon - Werner´s attacking zone. There are simply not many midfielders who could do it.

The point people are making is that they would just like him to be better at the things he is poor at. I'd like Harry kane to be as fast as Traore and have deBruyne's engine, but he doesn't, it doesn't mean I can't admire him for what he does well.
Basically Sissoko is half a Kante, I'd just like him to follow Jose's advice and be a complete Kante
