Howay Rich, that was pretty much the perfect through ball from Cisse's starting position. If it was more central and with less pace on it, it would have given the defenders a chance to get back in position. Cisse also had plenty of space and time to work with, could have taken it round the keeper on his left and on his right if he'd wanted too.
To add, I think chipping the goalkeeper early was the right idea, but it would have to be on target obviously..
