Reckon he'll be shunted out when Tiote and de Jong get fit, meaning Sissoko goes wide. Frankly, I'd even start Perez or Aarons ahead of him, in his current form.
Striker or not at all.
He'll be good if he gets service and support, I think. Not going to smash any records or anything, but could get 12 goals and have a hand in quite a few others.
Play a proper winger every week and we'll see the best of him.
Decent, I guess. Thought Pards balled up by switching from the central 3.
Room for improvement, obviously, but I think we'll be a better possession team this season. Not that that's saying much.
It's a shame that he's been ostracised now. I reckon he'd be a good fit for the newer players who seem a little bit smarter in terms of their movement. Not that he'd necessarily pass to them, just because he'd have more space to do his thing.
I think out of the 4 senior strikers we have, Gouffran and Riviere are the most likely to get 10+ goals. The ceiling for those two is probably 12, if they played 30+ games. Cisse has the potential to get more than any of them but our set up is the antithesis of what he needs.
