Skirge Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Love Demba BUT lets not start bleating on about how he cannot play alongside Cisse.. I just do not buy that shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not buy that shit As a pair they haven't clicked yet. Individually, assuming the service is right, they'll bang in the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 They definitely can't play together with the constant hoofing anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Not even sure he does 'benefit'. He's just such a great all round striker you can't stop him scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Ba is the only person who benefits from this system. It's a double edged sword, because he's single-handedly winning us points as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'm not convinced it's the system that's the main issue atm. It's as soon as we get the ball hoof it to Cisse or Ba, Cisse and Ba playing deeper than the wingers, absolutely no off the ball movement from anyone and the fact we have no balance that are the main issues.

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 absolutely no off the ball movement from anyone 100% This. Countless times in games will one of our players have the ball and be like a dear caught in the headlights when looking for a pass whilst the players around him stand still. Do we ever do the whole short passes in a triangle thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I haven't thought about this, but I just wanted to throw this question out there. Do you think Demba Ba is playing well in a system that is more suited to him, but not the team? Or do you think he's just playing well and will continue to do so when/if we start playing to our strengths as a team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Not even sure he does 'benefit'. He's just such a great all round striker you can't stop him scoring. He didn't score for about 4 months last season tbf like. His first goal today was absolutely fucking outstanding, you'll do well to find a better goal anywhere in Europe this week.

Do you think Demba Ba is playing well in a system that is more suited to him, but not the team? Or do you think he's just playing well and will continue to do so when/if we start playing to our strengths as a team? Think its hard to say due to Cabayes recent form/tiote being out. If we can get him on song & feeding both strikers, good passing football you'd imagine it would work. Being central definately suits Ba more though. No reason to change 4-3-3 which Cisse/Barfa were successful in apart from to accommodate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Not even sure he does 'benefit'. He's just such a great all round striker you can't stop him scoring. This, our system is not a good system for strikers as we have no movement for them. Essentially, the way we play does not play to the strengths of two of our greatest strengths, Cisse and Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 If Pards is going to play Ba & Cisse then he MUST play Benny central behind them as a link from midfield with fullbacks on the correct side so they can provide crosses on the ovelap.

Could possibly work but it'd have to be Ferguson LB and Santon RB most likely, even then i fear it'd be a bit too narrow. Though it'd be better than the fucking shite we saw today.

Skirge Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 On NUFCTV "you know Cheick in an agressive man, when you se him whan you walk next to him on the pitch you just know it, having him in the middle is very good for us" And durring the aquad photo Demba messed Tiote's hair up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
