    I only watched about 11 minutes of the match in total. I’ve been on ****-job duties practically all day.

    By then VVD knew it was too late to pass.

    It was exceptional defending. VVD knew Sissoko would have to hit a worldie on his left to beat Alisson from there.


    Anyone but Sissoko and we might have been in trouble, but the most important thing was blocking that pass to Son.

    Sissoko could have won that game for Spurs, but spunked it big time.

    Fair result in the end though, it would have been harsh on Pool given that the ball was moving when Kane took that free kick.

    Sissoko is a joke, he looks like he’s panicking every time he’s on the ball. A million miles away from what Dembele used to be like. You need to replace that guy.

    Remember when some Spurs fans thought they were challenging for the title? <laugh>

    Sissoko could have given it. Van Dick did all he could do, but Sissoko could have found Son if he’d looked.

    We go above them if we beat Newcastle at home tomorrow.

    Kipper will be in Moscow all summer if they finish below us this season.

    He's done well with his engine but his passing and shooting is embarassing.

    Theres a reason my horse in RDR2 is called Sissoko

    Most CB's would have gone in tight on Sissoko and left an easy ball to Son...

    That's the point. VVD isn't a normal CB.

    Proper #spursy moment that.

    Then topped by Alderwiereld's OG.

    I disagree, he decided to show him that left foot and cut the pass.

    Disagree. It was obvious Son was there. He did what he could, but if Sissoko had taken the right option, we’d have almost certainly scored.

    I know, but when your arse is hanging out with 5 minutes to go you want VVD on the case...

    Toby couldn’t do that much about it. Just **** luck, it hit him rather than the other way around.

    Doesn't matter....the amount of room and time Sissoko had and Son was in all he needed to do was stop running, check n pass at his leisure

    But i can't vouch for Sissoko being brainless
