Sissoko

[Abro100]

He is not good enough.

[Nicey]

Mohamed Sissoko has hit out at his exclusion from the Liverpool side to face Marseille in the crucial Champions League tie at Stade Velodrome, insisting he will discuss his future at the Merseyside club in January.

The Mali midfielder played in the disappointing 3-1 defeat to Reading on Saturday but will be sidelined when Rafa Benitez's side bid to clinch the three points that will take them into the knockout stages of the competition.

"It is in France, all my family are there and they wanted to see me on the pitch," he stormed to RMC.

"It is a difficult time. I am good enough to play in this team.

"It's the manager's decision. I respect it but I will discuss this in January.

"I will make an assessment with my agents and the manager. I have been asking myself that question for a while.

"I accept healthy competition but to play one match every five does not interest me."

Ok Momo thanks that will be all, dont let the door hit you on the way out, run along now

I feel sorry for him that he isn't good enough to play in this game.

We all know it, I think Rafa knows it, and that's why he played at Reading.

Nowt wrong with this IF you read his quotes alone and not the " HE STORMED " bollocks.

Healthy competitiveness, but he also states that he respects the managers decision.

More hyped up ****e delivered to try and destabilise the club before an important game :whatever:

[Angryred]

Like he wasnt good enough against Barcelona away in last years CL Qfinal?

[Tee]

He should make his statements ON the pitch - that is where it counts.

And much as I hate to say it he just has been the poorest of all the players in his position this season. Too one dimensional - great at winning the ball/tackling, but just as Cisse found out, you need more than just one attribute to succeed.

YES. if he was benched, we'd have won 4-1

[Exiled_red]

I don't think he should be selected just because his family are at this particular game! His form this season has been poor, if he'd been playing well and still only been picked for 1 in 5 games then he would have cause for complaint.

[dww]

I think it's fair enough for him to be unhappy if he wants to play. It is also reasonable for him to back his talent as we have seen what he can be capable. If he feels that he wants to play more he will probably have to move on and thats just the way things go.

I think the criticism of Momo has been unfair in terms of both his performances in general and what he says in the press. I don't see a big difference between what he has done and what Rafa has done in that regard on most levels.

Momo did well for us for a while but in the long term the move doesn't look to have worked out for either party but there shouldn't be hard feeling on either side IMO.

[chrispy]

This is a game we must win hence he's not even on the bench. If he gives the ball away to Cisse, sadly Sammi is not quick enough to handle Jibs. If Momo thinks he's good enough to play in this team then it's time for a psychological evaluation of him to be brutaly honest.

Momo, when the men in white coats come for you.............go quietly

Hmmm...muppet

Still, he doesn't have a divine right to expect to play cos his family's there!
I would have brought him along if I knew there was a chance for him to see his family...unless there's something underhand here!

[Fivex]

Thanks for an average couple of years Momo, we needed you at the time but Masch and Lucas have raised the bar in ball retention so time to go.
Thankfully we got him to sign a new contract which should add a couple of mill to his value

I doubt it will add anything, but it should stop us getting robbed that's for sure

[simey85]

He should stop giving out and learn to make a 10 yard pass that goes to someone on his team
