I think he looks out of sorts and fed up with being up top alone, and he looks affected by the lack of chances made for him. If Pardew isn't going to give him a partner or go with 3 up. I would play Gouffran as he looks better suited to it. More workrate and better link up play. just imo.
Same here, Cisse has had enough. He looks extremely pissed off and obviously has no confidence in what he's doing.
Exactly, he's been trying to offload him for months now, it's an excuse from Pardew that again is bordering on ridiculous to us but the outside press will lap it up.
Hate to say it but we may as well bench Cisse for now. He's getting no service in a system he's not suited for and his confidence looks completely shot to me. Put Gouffran up front now, or even Gouffran off Shola.
