He has, miles better than Dembele
Another good show today, solid and positive play
His defensive work is a bit underrated tbf. Always one of the first back home when needed and plays good cover for Aurier when he goes on adventures forward. His chasing and pressing on the opposition is also decent.I haven't seen today, but this is what I like to hear. No-one thinks he's a world beater, but a lovely assist for Kane against Burnley, managed to stand in well for Alderweireld against Madrid, and more positives like today are just what his confidence needs.
I think Aurier staking a starting XI more often will aid the good relationship there with Moussa too!
People keep banging on, and on, and on about this as if anyone ever suggested he should be a fixture in the lineup. No one pops into the Vorm thread to say "he's an ok backup keeper" twice a week. Forget about the price tag, he's a squad player, and a pretty good one at that.Was good today, but the wide open game suited him. Hasn't changed my opinion that he is an ok squad player who has a shocker every now and then. Should primarily be playing in counter attacking games.
It’s open for debate because he gets regular minutes in the first team. Vorm doesn’t.People keep banging on, and on, and on about this as if anyone ever suggested he should be a fixture in the lineup.

Sissoko gets a lot of minutes because other parts of our central midfield have either been out longterm with injuries, fighting minor injuries that refuse to go away or forced into playing as defenders because one of our centerbacks is also out injured. He is literally doing what you sign a squad player to do. Plug the gaps.It’s open for debate because he gets regular minutes in the first team. Vorm doesn’t.
And his price tag and wages could have gone on a better player, or on higher wages for other squad members, so to disregard this isn’t that possible.
I agree with that, you are correct. He’s a decent squad player, which is what most people on here are saying. I was just pointing out that you don’t see that written about Vorm because he doesn’t play.Sissoko gets a lot of minutes because other parts of our central midfield have either been out longterm with injuries, fighting minor injuries that refuse to go away or forced into playing as defenders because one of our centerbacks is also out injured.

I am guilty. I now have s moderate view of Sissoko, see earlier post, but i’m sure I’ve been cuntable in the past.Support the team
Support the players
Trust the manager he knows best he sees him in training everyday
What we say on the forum matters to the players
But not with Sissoko. Scrap all the above because in this case TFC knows better than Poch and slating a player is all ok again.
This place at its finest.
I can acknowledge that, but were Hugo to be out injuries for an extended time it wouldn't be logical to slate Vorm for not being a #1 caliber keeper - that isn't his role.I agree with that, you are correct.

Lets not pretend that Sissoko is an infallible player that doesn't make mistakes. Thing is he rectifies them 8 times out of 10 by either regaining the ball or by doing something to disrupt play for the opposition. Hugo plays in a role were mistakes are much more costly.Hugo's made about 15 mistakes this season alone.
I can't remember Sissoko making any
Classic sammytroll - he has now picked a less popular player to support relentlessly and show what a true uber Spurs fan he really is. Well untiui the next average Dele game when he’ll default back to calling him a useless cunt. Only a deluded fool would argue Sissoko is good enough for us - then again you need to scoop ever so low for your predictable trolling agendaHugo's made about 15 mistakes this season alone.

Depends on how you define good enough. Good enough to be a regular starter for us and a given fixture in our first 11? Nah. But he is good enough to be a squad player for us. Every team have these sets of players that operate on a level below their given team and come in to plug the gaps when needed. Fellaini is a fantastic example of this. Not your typical United player but he comes on and plays whatever part he is asked to play and does so admirably when needed.Classic sammytroll - he has now picked a less popular player to support relentlessly and show what a true uber Spurs fan he really is.

Sissoko is poor, mate sorry. I have nothing against the guy and hope he goes on to have a good career elsewhere but technically extremely limited - basically Livermore with a bit of pace. We left that calibre or player behind 6-8 years ago. Plenty of quality in the market if we need to replace.Depends on how you define good enough.
