Shall we ignore that Pochettino got sacked for stupid decisions like constantly picking Sissoko in a team and then wondering why it couldn't transition the ball the way he wanted?

We are three points above the team in eleventh and two of them have games in hand.

Everyone has been to Old Trafford and won, including Palace, and they were against 11 men.

It wasn't a VAR fuck up, it was a refereeing fuck up, and that doesn't mean you stop playing, so Lloris did have something to do, save their shot. Their keeper hardly had fuck all to do either, and we only won because Kane bought a pen out of fuck all.

The day anyone with a modicum of understanding of football accepts the inert ineptitude of Sissoko in a midfield is the day they should just stop and find another hobby.

Our array of attacking talent barely saw the ball Sunday because Sissoko spend the whole game hiding from it and then bunting back to whoever gives it him.

Although I agree with you mostly about Sissoko, your other points are bollocks. Everyone has been to Old Trafford and won? 🤔 Apart from a decent Chelsea side?? Palace won against 11 men? So they did. Are you seriously saying we wouldn't have won against 11 men?!
Did you watch that game?! We were fuckin all over them even 11 v 11, even Gary Neville said so! And 3 points above 11th? Well yes but we're only 7 games in, we will stretch away slowly but surely especially after Sunday.
We've played well this season and apart from the odd defensive lapse (like almost every team) and a terrible referee decision we'd be top. Early days fella.

I've got to pick you up on a few points here, as you're dislike of Sissoko is blinding you.

"Pochettino got sacked for stupid decisions like constantly picking Sissoko",
No he didn't, he got sacked because we were in relegation form. Should Jose also get the sack for playing him.

"we only won because Kane bought a pen out of fuck all."
That was a foul all day long. As Jose said he didn't "win" a penalty , he didn't dive, or be clever. He got clattered by a player who was the wrong side and shit himself because it was Kane at the edge of the box.

"Our array of attacking talent barely saw the ball Sunday because Sissoko"
Sissoko played the full 90 against Utd, you know when we scored six and were dominant even before their sending off. Deciding that all our attacking ills against Brighton was because of Sissoko is as ridiculous as putting all the blame lack of ability to create any chances against Burnley on Davies.

Conformation bias at it's highest.

I was gonna include all that as well, but i couldn't be bothered to type anymore! 👍
 
Keep Sissoko
Lose Lamela. He stayed 4 years too long. Lamelas been a big reason why we have not been able to get over the hump in recent years. Anytime is good time to rid of him

Sissoko is also to blame for famine in Africa, the illegal ivory trade, the 80s crack epidemic and Covid 19.

Barcelona could move for Tottenham's French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, 23, next summer. (Fabrizio Romano)

Ndombele would push for it if they truly come calling for his signature..and Levy would milk them for 120 mil

A few problems they need to sort out before thinking of Ndombele, preferably before January, but that's no likely

1. Complete disarray at Board level, with the top dog having ben forced to resign.

2 No money

3 Most of their top players are old, so no re-sale value. And all loved by current manager which is why he's sold off younger players.

4 Back Current manager or change him (but need a new Board to decide that)


So likelihood is file all reports of players going there in the 'Pending file - do not open until summer 2021'
