AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Gouffran is fine wide of a front three IMO, not Marv though. We need to sign a wide player, but I doubt we'll get more than one. Gouffran doesn't create anything or score many from out there, so he clearly isn't fine. It's too early to conclude that IMO. Not that I expect any of players to be given any time like.

I've a lot of time for his effort but we don't really play a 4-3-3, we play more like a 4-5-1 and he doesn't really offer much as LW. Doesn't dribble, doesn't cross. They're not really his attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 We'll see, I'm not saying he was brilliant. But he's positive, he works hard, seems intelligent, has decent pace. I think he has a chance. Anyway, we still need another wide forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we played as a 4-4-2 he could work as a striker that works the channels, offers and outball, etc. Just don't think we have the midfield for that though.

Aye, we don't have the midfield for a 4-4-2 really, I like the protection and extra solidity of a 3 anyway. Will be interesting to see how it goes... over to Pards! :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, we still need another wide forward. Playing wide left in a 4-3-3 with a manager who encourages free flowing football with lots of movement and energy he'd be more than adequate for where we are at the moment. I find it amazing he managed to score a couple of goals due to our lack of attacking play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, i'd like to give Cisse another season before i made that judgement but you could be right... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 We've got to build our attack around Cisse IMO, he is worth it for at least another season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 If people don't want Gouff as a wide forward, where do they want him to play next season? Am i correctly assuming majority would like to see him on the bench? Personally thought he did a decent enough job as a wide forward, wasn’t expecting anything spectacular but thought he adapted well to the role. His work rate was exceptional, chipped in with a couple of goals but would expect him to score more this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Gouffran comes off the bench for me. Within the current setup he's probably a starter but if/when we add another forward - either a Remy type, Bent or both - he drops to the bench. And yes, getting the best out of Cisse is still a high priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see lots of 'player x can't play in a wide position' or whatever but to say that on the basis of our current management is silly imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did a good job, but he isn't going to offer the type of delivery a genuine wide player would. He needs to be judged as a striker for me.
