It’s Dembele minus the needless pirouettes
I like to liken Moose's role to a sort of rescue vehicle. He roams the center of midfield and then he runs out to whatever part of the field needs him. Dude must have the best cardio in the entire team considering the ground he covers.
Sissoko:
"First of all, before anything else, the compliments are really nice to hear. I am happy with my match, I was very good I think, like the rest of the team. I am happy for me, I have come a long way."
"I have had two difficult seasons here, I have continued to work, I did not quit and things are going well this season. I have always believed in myself, my team-mates and my family too, that allows me to put in performances like this one"
"I know that I am not the most technical player, best player in the world, but I play with qualities I have. I have never taken myself to be someone I am not, I give the best of me and that is how I am able to put in a performance like this, it made the coach happy."
Brings a tear to the eye...

He's absolutely nothing close to Dembele - utter bollox and revisionism
If we allow ourselves to be influenced by the beautiful people of Hollywood, Moussa is scoring the winner for us on June 1st in Madrid
I think he’s better right now
It’s funny that Arcy is talking about revisionist bollocks......he wanted Dembele out for the last 6 windowsOur player of the season
Ask Blakey
I think that they’re ’ different types of players
Loved Dembele at his peak but still a frustrating player to watch sometimes
Sissoko interview was superb I thought
Full of honesty and humility
Worth every penny of the £30 million
Love the guy
I love this. Total honesty, and you can tell how genuine he is. Comes across very well, and has clearly worked both on his fitness, and to fit into Poch's system. Deserves the suppportive chants from the fans, and long may it continue.
Imagine 2016-17 Wanyama with 2018-19 Sissoko. We'd never concede a goal againochlol:
Dembele was better on the ball. But Sissoko's running and covering is much better.
They have the same goal scoring ability as well - sadly
He gives his all, which he has to given his limitations but he also drives us forward.
He has been excellent this season. Other players less so or we would not be as complimentary.
Woah. Dembele was on another level. Simple.
I think Sissoko has been excellent but a fit Dembele instead of a fit Sissoko of the same age puts us within a point or two of top.
I feel like people are forgetting how fucking galactic we were in 2016-17
That spine of Jan, Toby, Dier, Wanyama and Dembele totally ruined elite opponents with regularity.
And together we would be top in the same way we were nearly there when Wanyama arrived, who at his best would be the better Sissoko comparison.
