Er, excuse me.
Sissoko joined after the Champions League win.
There was no Reina, no Sissoko, no RoboCrouch then. 
Back on topic, it looks like Sissoko is Rafa's fav pet. Sure, he
does a damn good job harrassing central midfielders. But that's all
he does. He doesn't give an attacking edge and he is a liability
when the team is behind (currently in most matches).
At least Vieira can attack, score some crucial goals. Sissoko? Even
if he ends up alone in the penalty box with no one else but the
keeper, look forward to him looking for someone to pass the ball
to.
