Why are Janssen and Sissoko not playing more? Crazy question



We all know the writers at the Football Transfer Tavern are a joke and know little about the game. Their latest masterpiece is plumbing the depths of idiocy.

They ask why Mauricio Pochettino is not using Vincent Janssen and Moussa Sissoko more!!

Have these guys watched any Spurs football?

Moussa Sissoko clearly doesn't like it at Spurs and his head isn't focussed on producing his best. He came on after 29 minutes when harry Winks was injured and was bloody awful once again. He simply doesn't have the technical ability to play one touch football. His first touch is clumsy and heavy, his passing isn't accurate and isn't at the right pace. His head is not totally focussed on what Pochettino wants so he isn't the player he could be.

Vincent Janssen has little confidence, he works his socks off and does all his work holding the ball up with his back to goal, rarely does he get in a position to score with the ball at his feet. Teammates don't find him because they don't have enough confidence in him, they look for another option. Son Heung-min has better movement off the ball and gets chances, Janssen has the same opportunity to make runs but they are not of the same quality as Son, thus Son plays and Janssen doesn't.

As I pointed out before the international break, Son will come back tired and need a rest, which is the only reason Janssen started yesterday instead of Son.

Both don't play more because both aren't good enough. Janssen is young and could turn it around, this is only his second season in top division football (one season Eredivisie, one season premier League) but Sissoko is at an age where he doesn't want to be changing his game.

Will both be gone in the summer or just Sissoko?
