Moussa Sissoko has been a huge disappointment at Newcastle over the last two seasons and this season he has played 33 games in total and has only 5 assists and no goals – and he is one of the Newcastle players who has not earned his wages this season.
Indeed he is one of the players who will be identified as one who didn´t show enough fight in games when the going got tough.
When the going got tough Moussa Sissoko was nowhere to be seen.
Moussa Sissoko – Championship a trouble for everyone
Moussa was interviewed yesterday and he talked about possible relegation and how going down to the Championship would be trouble:
“Everybody knows my best position is center midfield.” “This season I have played on the side and when the new manager came he used me as left-back or right-back because of a lot of injuries.”
“We have had to try to do something because of those injuries.” “I try to do my best every game. Some time you don’t play well.”
“I know when I have played well or not.” “But even if I am playing bad I give 100% for this team.”
“I want to stay in the Premier League, I know what it means for me, my family and everyone.”
“I also have the National team so if I want to be in the squad I need to give everything to be in the Premier League.”
“If we are in the Championship it will be trouble for everyone, we’ll have lost so much.” “Therefore we have to focus on staying in the Premier League.”
We don´t trust too much what the players say in these interviews – especially when we are in trouble like we are now.
They say what they think fans want to hear and the only way they should do their talking is on the field.
They haven´t done that very well at all this season – in fact too many of them have been terrible.
Along with owner Mike Ashley and the members of the Newcastle Board led by Lee Charnley – there are a number of our players who will be held responsible for our relegation this season.
There are too many of them who have not performed up to their capability this season and Moussa Sissoko is one of them.
We expect him to leave Newcastle this summer and not have to suffer the indignity of having to play in England´s second division.

We put out an article on 17 month-old Poppy-Mai on Friday and she has recently been diagnosed with a progressive malignant rhabdoid tumour, a rare and aggressive form of paediatric cancer.
To show their support two of our readers in New Zealand Sean Gordon and his sister Hayley have cut off their hair which will be donated to the Little Princess Trust in the UK.
They will then transform the hair into beautiful wigs for children who have lost their own hair to cancer and all funds raised will go to Poppy-Mai’s family to create Poppy’s Field.

Comment #2Bit loose with the word “everyone” there Sissoko.
In fact, please can you find SOMEONE who thinks that’s your best position, other than you?
“I know when I have played well or not.” “But even if I am playing bad I give 100% for this team.”
Hmmm…Let’s see.

Comment #3Centre mid? He really thinks he’s a central midfielder? He can’t tackle and has no vision, plus his decision making is terrible. He’s only good for head-down, running with the ball. Even then I’ve never seen any skill used to bear a man, just that pitter-patter style his feet move in when he’s up against a defender. He’s typical of the lad who has always been the biggest and most powerful in his age group, he’s relied on power and pace so he’s never had to use any tricks or football intelligence.
Now, Gini is everything Moussa should be. Fast, tricky and intelligent. Shame the lad has no fight in him either! Just our luck eh? Thank his in working today and can’t sit through the torture of watching the shambles continue.

Comment #5It won’t happen but I would like to see Aarons and Doumbia play. They are both fit and have pace. Something we lack.
Sick of watching this lot fail – Perez, Siss, De Jong and Wini.
They simply don’t have a position in the modern game. They all want to be the creative free role player. They don’t play when we don’t have the ball.
Watch Perez when the other team have possession.
Jogs about like an old lady.

Comment #8tsunki
the whole jonas case is an odd one clubs are not obliged to extend the stay of any player
its also the case that at most clubs managers can pick who they like so dont have to play players or offer an excuse to not play them
i am sure i missed something as to how this got to court

As I understand it, the club is at fault for not extending the time available for Jonas to potentially achieve the contract extension, to reflect the time he was unable or disabled from his professional employment.

Comment #16Claims of unfavourable treatment and another of harassment related to disability were dismissed.
No one denied he wasn’t picked but both Carver and Pardew who will never work for Ashley again (so have no axe to grind) said he was dropped cos he was past his best regardless of the cancer .
Which was borne out by the number of times Hoots picked him for an inferior side like Norwich.
I think the letter of the DDA 1995 was erroneously applied.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see an amendment go through parliament soon.
It often needs cases like this to bring up unforeseen circumstances in an Act to get the legislation tidied up.

Comment #18I wonder why the evidence they gave was unclear and lacked credibility if Jonas was so clearly in the wrong. Surely honesty would have been the best policy. I’m sure Ashleys mind set is petrified of honesty because of the massive can of worms it would open if he told the truth.

Comment #19Jib
you are a fool,
did you watch his last game? he was our best player, and the reason he had looked so poor was because P45 used him as a 3rd DMC, and NOT the left winger he is.
the problem was he attacked P45, or at least that’s what p45 thinks, when he openly criticised the way we played football. that’s why he was dropped

Comment #26Any other club would have made sure he left on good terms for no other reason than all the bad pr that would follow.
Not this club.
Do you think Fatso will sell up and buy Rangers,looks like they are going up to the top league this year.
Wouldnt be suprised if MA decided to leave the country and sell up anything the government can drag him into the parliment buildings about,his shares in SD could no doubt be fiddled with to make him imune.

Comment #28The main reason why we just don’t look like a footballing team is because there is no movement. Everytime I watch I always look around at which players will actually move into good positions and ask for the ball. We just don’t have that, especially now without confidence. They all need to grow some balls and earn there wage because this is our last chance. I would much rather see pass and move rather than hopeful crosses that never reach there destination since they don’t even know where they’re heading.

Comment #29I just don’t understand how we can be a premier league team with players that are just so inept in this league.
Terrible recruitments by Charnley and too little to late by Ashley, who by the way doesn’t escape any blame at all. He’s the one who hired Charnley and Carr and they’re the main reasons why our squad is lacking quality and numbers.
I wonder when they are going to sort out the training ground, way too many injuries.

Comment #33Mitrovic hasn’t been a particular success either. Suppose his last couple of matches are fresh in the mind and not the endless missed sitters beforehand, that had he scored a few of, we’d be in with a much better shot at survival.

Comment #38Our whole team/ squad has not been a success, either not good enough or lack of effort.
We’re the worst team in the premier league and if anyone thinks we’ve got a chance to stay op think again.
Our team would struggle in league 1 fact.
What amazes me most is people paying for the pleasure of watching defeats and dross.
You can’t blame the board for that.

Comment #39If I was a manager and one of my players had or had had testicular cancer, given that football is a physical sport with a kick in the b*llocks being a real possibility, I might be very reluctant to field that player.
It could even perhaps be something the player (any) could use against the club (again any) to sue them.
Having said that Jonas should have been given the opportunity to prove he is still up to playing in the EPL or as I have already said the club should have had enough savvy to see that a testimonial would have been good face saving PR.
