We may not be able to win consistently but I think we are solid enough to give any team a real match, any games against the big four and Spain's big two would be very difficult encounters but no team in Europe could just walk all over us.
you can't say whether we'd win any of those matches or not. Right now maybe not, but keep in mind if we do face those teams later on, form, injuries and luck play a huge role.
Sissoko on his day can shut down almost any midfield in the world by himself, imagine now that he has Melo and Marchisio by his side.
but we need a player with muscle but i agree not anywhere close to the likes of essien in terms of his ball control and passing but hes still pretty young
It's a trend to bash our own players, for christ's sake there are haters and whiners in each player thread. Sissoko played huge role defensively yesterday, but everyone loves to focus on his couple of bad passings..
His tackling was great, his passing was as bad... He's still not on form yet, even though he has always been a bad passer, he isn't as bad as he was against Haifa.

who knows, against a better opposition we could have been made to pay, hell Haifa came close to scoring a few times anyway...there was no point to make to begin with, it was an observation on Momo's performance, but some took it as player-hating and bashing
