Wallace Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I read somewhere that it is not uncommon for a lot of players who go to the ACon to struggle on their return. Once they have adjusted to the playing conditions of the tournament, they then find it difficult to adapt back to the intensity of league football. Could be a reason although Cisse's form contradicts the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yaya Toure's been shit since the Cup too. And Cisse would have been averaging two a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 He's just out of form and frustrated. The moment that stood out for me today was when the ball was played through to him in the middle, he took a bad touch and it bounced up off his knee and out of play. Before the new year he would have controlled that and rifled it into the bottom corner with his left foot. He'll get it back and the smiles will return but for now i'd rather have a striker who is pissed off and frustrated that he's playing shit than one who plays shit and doesn't give a crap. Spot on. He's just down in the dumps at the moment. Things aren't coming off for him. It's a striker's cliché but he probably needs one to go in off his arse or something. Exactly. He desperately needs a goal right now, more for his own state of mind than anyone else's and when he gets it all this crap will be over. Pardew has handled it brilliantly so far which is encouraging.

Been an emotional season for him. Agree with that, but the spoilt kid act he is portraying atm ( not saying is but its what it looks like) is what is annoying me. Just get on with it and help the team win games and the goals will come, i realise hes frustrated atm and probably lacking confidence but i think he could have done more in recent weeks to help the team. Will not ignore what he did for half of the season tho, because without him we would have been mid table and nowhere near where we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JS Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Not sure where people are getting the spoilt kid thing from. Everytime a TV camera and microphone has been in his face he's always been honest and said it doesn't matter if he scores or not as long as the he and the team play well. Said it before, but he looks gassed and probably more p*ssed off with himself as he ain't scored in a while. Sounds a little immature but it probably means so much to the guy. If you get taken off you must know either you haven't done well or you just won't last. As a striker it must be canny s*** to go on a barren run like, especially after you smashed 16 in earlier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Have confidence that Pardew will be able to calm Ba down and that incident was a storm in a teacup. But if he loves scoring goals and sees himself as a front man in a 442 we might still lose him. If we can't promise him that role regularly then I think there'll be plenty of teams who will. Hope not obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not obviously. I am not being funny but for us to go forward we need to throw 4-4-2 and hoofball to the scrap heap and if Ba wont stay because we wont play 4-4-2 then id seriously consider letting him go ( as stupid as it sounds) No one player is bigger than the team i dont care who it is we need to be using 4-3-3 and have the whole squad built around 4-3-3 heck id even want the youth teams to play 4-3-3. It would be stupid to lose any player over such childish acts but if Ba refuses to play in a 4-3-3 then i cant see any other outcome. 4-4-2 can only take us so far and i dont care who it is if one player makes us play that system to suit him and not the rest of the team then he should be moved along. I obviously hope this isnt the case with Ba and we can get him to adapt to 4-3-3 and take us to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I agree, I wasn't suggesting we should give him 442, I just think that if he wants to get more goals then he might feel he's wasting his time on the left of a 433. Hopefully we can find a way forward with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
