Did you copy paste that from a couple of weeks ago? I keep reading these votes of confidence, and people expected Cisse to pick it up after Ba left, but it hasn't really happened for him so far, has it? I predicted him to score 20-25 earlier in that poll, now I'd be ecstatic if he gets half that. He's scored three times in the last couple of weeks. He's still off the form of last season, but that was ridiculous form to be honest. 20-25 Premier League goals would have probably seen us challenging for the title btw, it happens that rarely. He's scored three in the last couple of weeks, which isn't bad in all fairness, but he could have had many more if he had taken his chances at a rate you'd expect a top striker to get. I think Rich posted some chance conversion stats a couple of weeks back (don't know where he got them from), and Cisse was way behind other top strikers in the league this season. With all the chances spurned recently I don't think that stat will have got much better. Maybe I'm being a little harsh on wor Papiss, but my prediction was based on my conviction that he is a top striker, as his record for us last season and in Germany the seasons before seems to suggest. As I hold him in high esteem, I also judge him as such, and in my mind he is falling way behind the level I expect him to operate at. As for 20-25 Premiership goals being that unrealistic, last season we were one good result from CL qualification, and we had two forwards seemingly capable of 20-25 goals for the season. The main strikers in the current top 6 are well on their way to scoring around 20. Also, many people on here want us to play a system with one forward. We can't get away from the fact that this sole striker will need to get around 20 goals a season for the team to have a good season. I really don't think it's that preposterous a suggestion.

Mignolet attacking that ball with his arms out..
-
Being lethal in the box would be a start Would be good if wasn't instructed to be on the half way line instead of in the box..... he's hardly ever in the box because of Pardew tbh. Rubbish. Which striker ever stays in the box all game long? Cisse would just be offside even more than he is already..

Arsenal hanging in there
-
Conversely, the attacking game plan wouldn't even be up for debate if Cisse took the chances that fall to him week in week out, like he did last season.

Phew, Flecther almost

Maybe Reading should try and start playing before the last 10 minutes sometime?

cheers for that Booked

Rose hamstrung..

Picked that cunt Suarez as captain over him for this FF gameweek. He better do well..
-
Fletcher misses a good chance
-
Fuck's sake, I've FF jinxed Walcott..

People are acting like Darren Bent is a league one plodder. He's scored over a goal in two and a half for most of his Premiership career..
-
If you can't see certain similarities because one is capable of something the other (arguably) isn't, then God help you. Nobody is arguing they're one and the same person FFS
-
Yep, should have been out of sight in the first half.
-
Jenkinson sent off..

So would it be fair to see he's not an ideal striker in a 451 where we're up against stronger opposition and expecting to be under the cosh quite a bit, seeing as he doesn't seem to be the type of forward who is capable of creating something on his own at all?
-
How is he not? His game is all about getting in behind the defence, movement off the ball and pure finishing with head or feet. Also, like Bent, he seems effective only when played as a lone striker. I don't think they're all that similar, but there certainly are comparisons to be made.

Larsson dirty cunt

He did? I must have watched a different game, as he kept losing it on mine.

Wilshere injured
