That's not entirely true. But I am well aware of his deficiencies.
Both Melo & Sissoko get us in difficult situations way too often (the former even more so), but Momo's constant hustling (when he's on his game at least) puts a lot of pressure on the opponent, breaking down their play. Something Melo should be capable of as well, but he clearly isn't right now.
But playing both of them together is just asking for trouble, simply because you can forget about keeping possession.

Absolutely he was.
This really has nothing to do with the system. Momo Sissoko can not pass and that, as a central midfielder, is his MASSIVE downfall. It is like having a physically strong GK with one arm...
Make a highlight tap of his mistakes just for the last 2 games. It is to the point I am laughing when he loses the ball now. If people can't see that he is our weakest link right now, when playing then I am not sure what he needs to do. The guy has incredible tackles only to lose it on his very next pass.
It is like a sniper with a great shot, just can't get into position with out getting caught. You have a talent but also your weakness limits you completely useless.
I thought I was the only one who noticed i
I still see Momo as an important player, but playing both him & Melo at the same time is suicide. They're just not clever enough, plain and simple.
You are surely not the only on here.
The problem with the ppl here that they blame Sissoko mainly for the poor performance.They don't want to understand that the whole system sucks.
How the hell DN plays both Momo n Melo in his formation 4-4-2? it doesn't suit 2 pure defensive CMs at all.
DN clearly doesn't know how to deal with different matches n different situations.Jose Mou for example changes his formation from match to match depending on who is available for him n who is not.Aquiliani can't play n Claudio had to be rested the he should have played 4-2-3-1,this formation is the only one that suit Melo-Mom partnership.
And i have a Q to those who are attacking Momo as if he is an enemy of them,what about Doria's match?who had to be blamed?
Sissoko was not even on the bench.
No one here is blaming yesterday's results on momo. However, I am blaming him for a lot of the unneeded pressure that was placed on our team throughout the match yesterday from lost possession that came from his many mis-placed passes.
It doesn't matter what system you put sissoko in if he can't complete simple passes. On the flip side, the whole system comes crashing down as a result of constently losing possession. When he loses the ball he begins to mentally crumble too and you can see it when he starts making rash decisions and silly tackles.
