“Comedy Gold Everytime” – International Return Doesn’t Go Well For This Spurs Man

|

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko has been in good form for the club in recent matches and plenty of fans haven’t been slow in pointing out he was silencing his many critics with his efforts.

With the tendency of the British press to build people up before tearing them down, that’s certainly a facet that has passed to the common person when it comes to social media, and Sissoko gave those who were waiting for their chance again every bullet they needed as he returned to the pitch for France on Friday evening.

Facing off against the Dutch, France lost the Nations League game 2-0 and the 29-year-old unfortunately played a massive part in the unexpected victory as he conceded the penalty that allowed Anthony Martial to make it a two-goal game deep into stoppage-time and end all hopes of them getting back on level terms.

The result ended the World Champions’ 15-game unbeaten run and Germany saw themselves relegated in the process, so I guess some will applaud agent Sissoko for his Machiavellian success.

There’s no getting away from the fact it was a mistake you don’t expect a player of that experience to commit, but I also can’t get away from the fact much of the criticism from the more clear Spurs fans seems like saved up point scoring.
