You can immediately see that Mirallas has had his head sorted by Koeman. He looks like the player of old. Same goes for Baines too and to some extent Barkley looks a far more confident player. I know I mentioned it previously but Sissoko is one hell of a player when his mind is right. Imagine Koeman sorting his head and the line across the middle would be Mirallas, Gueye, Sissoko and Bolasie. It would be the rebirth of "dogs of war". No other team would have a moments peace on the ball in the middle or wings. We would have to coin a new phrase. how about "nuclear fission". of course we have not signed him yet, but I would have thought he is exactly the sort of player Koeman would like and could sort out.

Good post Degs, not sure about 'Sissoko' though and I feel RK may be thinking similar in this respect but hey who knows? 🤷.

As a footballer Sissoko is a beast and with some skill and when he wants. dictates games. This is where my humble pie comes in and I am starting to agree that Mr Koeman is an old fashioned "boss" who gets the best out of players. I know that Mr Benitez is a fan of James McCarthy. and Sissoko wants out of Newcastle just like McCarthy wants out of Everton. Apparently Juventus are anterested and that might stop it happening, but things look like they may fall into place. 3 weeks ago, with no wins, I would have said different. But we are now becoming an attraction.
