TRon Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 That chance in the first minutes where he turned and fired in one glorious movement only to be denied by Hart - it came from a cross out wide, delivered early and low. Get the supply right and he'll score for fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Put him in the middle. Feed him with service. So f***ing simple. Alternatively, play the striker who's actually scoring in the middle and feed HIM with service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Two teams playing a front two without any hassle already on MotD. Aguero-Tevez & Benteke-Weimann. No reason they shouldn't be able to work as a two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 It's about types of player though, Imo Cisse could work with one who will pull deep or wide naturally, but Ba is too much of a target man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba pulling wide/playing just off makes more sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagten Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Aguero - Tevez weren't a front 2, and Benteke - Weimann are significantly different from each other - Ba and Cisse aren't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Really thought he was going to bury that chance with his left in the penalty area. If we were going to get anything today that was the moment. Hope he gets going soon. Not sure i agree that if he plays through the middle problem solved, as I think his performances have improved significantly since moving out wide. His all round game is getting better but obviously his goalscoring is still suffering. Still think rotating him and Ba for the starting role just to freshen it up would work when Ben arfa is back or DROP JONAS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Either way there's no point in playing Cisse out wide. It was his best performance in that position yesterday and he was still poor. He struggles to control the ball in tight spaces and can't get past his man. It's daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He seems to have lost his central place to Ba through a combination of poor performances in an awful system that he wasn't at all suited to, and the club's remarkable willingness to adhere to Ba's wishes through fear of losing him. He's a lethal poacher, and he's more reliant on a system than Ba, but through months of Pardew abuse he's found himself on the wing(!) and bereft of confidence - it's painful to watch. But I'm absolutely certain he'd be better central in a 3, and it's got to the stage where I'd be relatively happy to see Ba sold in order to begin using him correctly, which I ultimately believe would be better for the team.

Still think rotating him and Ba for the starting role just to freshen it up would work when Ben arfa is back or DROP JONAS! I´ve said this all season, and even before it started. I don´t understand this "they both have to play at the same time". They don´t. We perform best with a 4-3-3 type of formation and also add the fact that we have a small squad, so resting one of them at times, only makes sense. Regarding that they should be able to work together, Ba and him, isn´t true i think. They are both to similar (read selfish), as I said 100 times. They don´t make runs for each either, and if they do, the other one doesn´t even look up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Think he has played better lately then at the start. Sometimes earlier he couldn't even trap a ball and was so eager to score he blew chances before they were made. Now he is more calm when in posession and passes back, tries through balls etc. when not in position himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don´t make runs for each either, and if they do, the other one doesn´t even look up. I think it is possible to have the two of them in the team together, centrally even, as long as: 1. There's a proper No.10 (Marveaux) to feed them passes, i.e. "tie" them together 2. They aren't making runs into the same position Something like: Santon Willo/Taylor Colo Fergie Anita Perch Tiote Marveaux Ba Cisse It would heavily rely on the fullbacks for width, though.

Guest tollemache Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm choosing to believe that's my whingeing about playing 4-3-1-2 sinking in. With Cabaye and Ben Arfa in the side, you don't need the fullbacks to be wingers, they just have to be willing to take up advanced wide positions. As I've whinged before, I saw Milan play a diamond perfectly well with Jaap Stam at right back. Anyway, we've got Santon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
localshop Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Cisse on Saturday night, must have been discussing tactics with that lady and I can only assume it's lucozade sport in the bottle. http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/65071_10151334545172164_1662734388_n.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
