Would love to see a shot of Sissoko and Dier enforcing together. Warriors. Love it.

The opening paragraph of the Liew piece is probably the most creatively accurate I’ve seen in a sports article.
He is such a beast, fucking love him
From unwanted scapegoat to fantastic beast in just three games. You got to love football... 
He’s been brilliant recently. In some ways, being proven wrong about a player is oddly more satisfying than gloating about the performance of a “favourite” player.
He’s really blossomed from a strong, but clumsy bloke into a midfield powerhouse.
Last nights performance was fantastic. Absolutely bossed it.

Maybe just maybe our long term midfield lies with Sissoko keeping this up rather than Wanyama regaining his form.
Ain't it lovely to see a player start believing in himself and taking his game up levels when so many, myself included saw no light at the end of the tunnel for him.
He, along with Lamela & Lucas has done a truly wonderful job when others were struggling for form or fitness, f he carries on as he has done and adds a final killer ball or the ability to ping one at goal believing he will genuinely give the goalkeeper a testing time trying to keep it out there's no saying as to what his importance to the team might become. I'm thoroughly enjoying supporting Moussa when he does something right instead of sitting there liking it and then waiting for the fail. He's adding so much to the team at the moment, the guy should be proud and brimming with confidence.
Good thing about it is amazingly, I believe there is more to come from him. 4-5 games on the spin he's been the most important player on the pitch, apart from
Bazali
who ever saw that coming? Wins my player of the month vote easily, well done Sissoko you ridiculously fine specimen. A warrior in lilywhite last night son!

Do the right thing, gentlemen.
I do think Aurier arriving had a big impact - brought him into the team socially a bit more, just looks happier and more confident.
You need to get to the gym, son.Do the right thing, gentlemen.
Whilst Sissoko has improved massively, and has turned opinion around, I think he’s just another example of what phenomenal alchemists Pochettino, Jesus Perez and the rest of the staff are.
He was brought to be a speedy outlet, and he’s essentially been replaced by Lucas Moura because he failed massively at that role. He’s great tactically and a beast of an athlete, his obvious problem is his feet/limbs cannot match his brain.
By deploying Him as a marauding ball winning CM, (like he was in the 2016 Euros) who can then charge forwards like an NFL running back, Poch has minimised Sissoko’s weaknesses and maximised his strengths. He also plays his best against the better teams because he’s not expected to “control” the game because he sucks at that.
Sissoko had a misconception of being lazy; it’s actually the opposite, the mental toughness he’s shown to turn things around is something I haven’t seen by a Spurs player since maybe Huerelho Gomes.

Good question.
What other players besides Sissoko have gone from ridicule to almost cult like hero?
Gomes was one I was thinking of, Ekotto another too. Perhaps Bale and maybe Rose?
I copied that picture from twitter lol.
Anyway, I'm considering printing Sissoko's name on my new kit. A screamer at the shithole next week should be enough to be fully convinced.
Nice story chubbs, just remember that food isn't love...
Lamela arguably
