Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after a supporter constructed some analysis of Moussa Sissoko’s performance in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

The footage in question is actually very detailed, and doesn’t reflect well on the 65-cap France international by any means.

In the video, we see Sissoko’s actions during one passage of play highlighted, as Tottenham struggle to play the ball out from the back.

Firstly, the footage shows the ex-Newcastle man receiving the ball with acres of spaces behind him to turn into.

However, he plays a first-time pass back to Toby Alderweireld, who is now under pressure again.

Then, we see the £30 million man failing to move into space to support Heung-min Son on the counter attack, and the ball ends up going backwards again.

After this, Sissoko is shown to be hiding from the ball as his teammates desperately look for an option.

Footage shows the 31-year-old walking around as Alderweireld searches for a pass, but he’s not just walking around.

Tottenham’s No.17 is walking behind Mason Mount, showing no willingness to free himself from the Chelsea man’s marking.

Eventually, due to a severe lack of options, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg loses possession by passing the ball out of play.

It’s incredibly frustrating footage to watch, even for somebody who isn’t a Tottenham fan.

Let’s see how the Spurs fans on Twitter reacted to the video…
