What about when Sissoko was at Toulouse, also in Ligue 1, I thought you only compare players' best seasons?He looks like Sissoko would look if Sissoko could play football. Take a look at the two xG figures shown on the chart below - shows that what Ndombele does with the ball is of use. I won't comment on what it says about Sissoko.
Was that his best season?
Probably, scored a few goals too. Also, it would compare the same league.
Then feel free to get the data and prove it.
Link?
I like the fact that he's always trying to push the ball forward, rather than play backwards or sideways.
Oh GHod, this graphic again. We'll be comparing Sissoko to de Gea and this graphic will still be posted as evidence why Sissoko isn't as good.He looks like Sissoko would look if Sissoko could play football.

Hey, I was trying to play nice here! But my point still stands - they look like they fill the same role, just that one is a tiny, tiny amount better at it than the other. So we probably won't see them together much. Also remember that stats don't show everything, N'Dombele never had to face the likes of Stoke on a rainy Wednesday night.
I suspect you'll have to pay for it. The Statsbomb data appears more useful than OPTA
Probably. It does show that Sissoko isn't very good after allOh GHod, this graphic again. We'll be comparing Sissoko to de Gea and this graphic will still be posted as evidence why Sissoko isn't as good.
There there...
He's taller
Sell fewer shirts in Japan though, so swings and roundabouts.
