Because his close control isnt really very good at all most times.Why?
I've seen 10 year olds do it.
Unless you mean more of a confidence thing?

Really... the coaching staff and Pochettino deserve the most credit for this transformation
But he's a professional footballer, the international of the current World Cup winners and playing at the highest level possible, has likely played football for 25+ years of his life. Is it really a stretch to believe he can do the most basic of skils?
But we have seen him upclose for almost 3 years now. Nothing hes done with us shows he would be able pull off Zidanesque skills. He goes past players mostly though acceleration and strength. Great ball control is one of the last things that comes to mind when thinking of Sissoko. But if starts doing more of these, hes going to be an even bigger asset than he already is.But he's a professional footballer, the international of the current World Cup winners and playing at the highest level possible, has likely played football for 25+ years of his life.

Watching him the last few months, not unexpected at all. But the previous two years suggested he could trap a ball further than he could kick it.But he's a professional footballer, the international of the current World Cup winners and playing at the highest level possible, has likely played football for 25+ years of his life.

Not completely accurate I think. He was definitely useless in the first season. Okay as squad player the 2nd one. This season, possibly our best player and first choice on the team sheet.Watching him the last few months, not unexpected at all. But the previous two years suggested he could trap a ball further than he could kick it.
Nobody at all could have seen this level of performance coming. Any voices disagreeing with the idea he was useless before around October time were just dissenting for the sake of it. Obvious disagree rating incoming anytime now.....

I’ll accept my second year appraisal was heavily tainted by the first. Still don’t believe for a second anyone saw this season coming after the last!I agree as per any blatant revisionism. However, I do think that the earlier framed:
1st year - Appalling.
2nd year - Occasionally useful.
3rd year - Who da fuck is this bloke???
....Is a fairer synopsis.
Because he's human?official. my POTY.
Though I can't honestly understand how he can put that beautiful weighted chip for the first goal but fired it to row Z at Anfield
