I think it was a great ball, but I don’t think the likes of Sherwood and Henry have shown enough knowledge and understanding to be treated as authorities on the game.
I think ex professionals who have played at the highest level would know what constitutes a difficult pass to be fair....
You're right, but how often do ex-pros sit in the studio and laugh at a player?

The smug clams on sky? All the fudging time.
I don't recall seeing it much. Shows it's not only some Spurs fans who see him as a laughing stock.

He's comedy gold with Sclamhorpe fans I have been told,

I thought it was quite funny.
Just prior to that he played a superb defence splitting ball, which was quite brilliant. I was thinking, maybe time out of the side has left him opportunity to work on a few things. And then within a minute or two he nearly tackled himself in that situation, so maybe not
Had to laugh.

Didn't he then recover to play a perfect ball to Trippier?I thought it was quite funny.

He did.
Although, poking it out to the player in space in front of you really shouldnt be beyond even him.
Point being, as ever with Sissoko, even when he does something good (and I thought that pass prior was brilliant) he will follow it up with some sort of buffoonery.

and yet Dele Alli can have a complete air shot in the box and your quote on him is:
I thought he was excellent yesterday, really stepped up and took a lead when we needed someone to. Top class.

Andy Thompson
Yes, because I thought Alli was excellent yesterday. That doesnt mean perfect, by any stretch.
Sissoko? I actually was ambivalent on yesterday, he was was fine.
I just found it amusing that he did something noticeably really good, and promptly followed it up with some terrible touch/control in an almost comical manner.
What is your point exactly? Trying to make a claim of double standards or something?
If so, Id suggest you find a case when its actually true, you wont get far with this one.

Effective rather than excellent.

He was good yesterday, brilliant even by his standards.
Let"s not lose sight of the fact that we play at very high tempo and ALL our players lose control and do something to make them look silly.
Son and dele have both had fresh air swipes in our last two games.

I think it is pretty clear that you have these, yes. As evidenced above.
Sissoko came on as sub and had a good game. His poor touch, that he recovered from and put a good ball through to Trippier wasn't as much a comedy moment as Dell's air shot, but there is only one of the two moments that you choose to dwell on.
I think Sissoko is now in the perfect role for us, on the bench and can come on in games where we are protecting a lead and can play on the break.

All true ... they have credit in the bank to suggest that it's not service as usual

I made no particular judgement on Sissoko, simply observed one moment he was quite brilliant, swiftly followed by a moment I thought was amusing. I havent assessed his performance at all, just made a simple observation.
You might want to infer some sort of intent or meaning to that, as is your want, but I assure you its simply not there. You would be wrong to do so.
Sissoko wasnt on the pitch long enough for me to have any particular thoughts on.
My thoughts made on Alli were on his performance over the whole game, I cited no particular incidents at all, its not even the same thing. What you have evidenced above is I was positive about one player, less so about another in an entirely separate thread and context, and decided to somehow link and contextualise them.
It really shouldnt need defending, but you also chose to try and pick me out on it, so here we are.

As I said in the previous page, I honestly can’t remember the last time Sissoko ‘spazzed’ it like that. It just isn’t normal service, beyond a few really bad games he had for us when he joined.
