Still lots of bluster with no quality. It's the old British disease - praising players just for running about a bit.
Improving, I'll take because he's going nowhere in the short term.

We've come along way when we're picking holes in a 3-0 away to top opposition. I went to away matches for years without seeing a win, and a draw was rare!

The point is fair, but not sure that's a good description of this term's Everton.
Maybe 10 years ago, OK would have been enough.He did better than a lot of our other players today who don't have to live up to nearly the same standards. Sissoko needs to have a 10/10 game before anyone would praise him. A 7/10 means anything that wasn't perfect gets amplified and that just isn't fair. Have no idea why this happens.
He obviously started today because Poch trusts him and sees him as valuable. If he was as terrible as everyone thinks he would have been booted with the Stamboulis of this world.
As for the suggestion that he has to be good because Poch picks him, good managers make mistakes all the time. Maybe now that we're unable to get rid of him, Poch is trying to make the best of him he can. Problem is though, Sissoko was poor at Saudi Sportswashing Machine, I've seen him have one good game for France, and at his best for us he's been mediocre.
Yes coaches make mistakes in terms of a tactical substitution etc, they don't continuously pick a player who offers nothing which is what is being alluded to on this forum especially when we have other quality options. Sissoko wasn't picked by Poch for long periods last season, so now he's giving him more game time he obviously feels he's improved enough to earn the right to be in the team.....Maybe 10 years ago, OK would have been enough.
He's in a team with Kane, Alli and Eriksen, with Dembele/Winks or Son/Lamela who could replace him when fit. OK isn't enough - he has to be outstanding.
It's worse for Sissoko because he has to play at the top of his ability just to keep up with a meh game by the standards of those other players.

Sissoko still looks lost in the final third and slows up play but he is a fantastic athlete and got into some great positions helping to dominate Everton so I hope more games will make him provide a better final ball, he Could be great for us (maybe)?

WOW!! I didnt expect this result and the performance. Kudos to EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE TEAM!! EVERY SINGLE ONE!! Everton had no clue!!
I did
Said it many times but Everton have sold their most influential player and replaced him with some real unproven players yet not one who did what he did... score goals and occupy defences
The result was about par for me as we're that good and far ahead of them
We should be joint top of the league IMO
