He was good but only because he needed to defend. If we had retained the ball and pinned City back he may have been surplus to requirements. We already had Hojbjerg, Dier and Toby to do the dirty work. It was Jose's chosen game plan that necessitated Sissoko starting. Loco can be a right little terrier type and will do something positive with the ball when he gets the ball.
I want to get away from Sissoko starting so many games.
He fills our other ten with confidence and he terrifies every player in the league. He is a vital ingredient that lets others look better. He is Jose's first name on the team sheet because he is the beast.
