Dinho lad Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Missed 3 good chances. (Although, that header he couldn't have done much more with.) Fucking hell man, we need him back as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not a problem at all today IMO (late shot over aside). If we'd continued to feed him like we had up to half time, he'd have scored at least one. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to turn on our own players, but to suggest the one striker we depend upon to fire us to safety missing four big chances in a match we eventually lose against relegation rivals is "not a problem at all" is a bit odd..

Well obviously I'd have rather he scored those chances, but apart from the one he blasted over (that I acknowledged in my post) I don't really see what else he could have done on the others. Header was a magnificent save, contact on the volley was probably too perfect and the cross from Debuchy was smothered well. He didn't score, but it doesn't mean he was poor. Sometimes you've just got to admit that the opposition goalkeeper had a great game. The real problem was how easy he had it in the second half.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Also the fact he played more on the wing in that second half is a joke, his movement was brilliant in the first and he looked very threatening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you've just got to admit that the opposition goalkeeper had a great game. The real problem was how easy he had it in the second half. The volley and the header were instinctive, first touch finishes indicative of the kind of striker he is. I think maybe another (type of) striker would have controlled the ball for the volley to give himself more time. Both finishes were straight at the 'keeper though, whether that is unlucky or not I don't know, but last season he didn't miss many of those and they would have gone straight in the top corner. The one on one after that excellent cross from Debuchy I feel he should definitely have done better as he had plenty of time. Yes, Frederici came out early, but he could have slipped it past him, chipped it over him or even took the ball around him. The chance in the dying seconds of the game was just a terrible lack of composure. Put it this way, I don't think Ba would have been so "unlucky" today and would probably have got away with at least one goal against these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Also the fact he played more on the wing in that second half is a joke, his movement was brilliant in the first and he looked very threatening. Cisse was a bit unlucky today but his head never went down to his credit. However, the fact we've got to put out main CF out on the wing for 5/10 minutes to give Shola a rest is embarrassing.

thenige Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Played well today, on another day could have easily had three. Really disappointed how he was shifted out wide 2nd half to accommodate fucking Shola mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I know it's harsh on him but if he doesn't score against Villa then it'll be 3 winnable games in a row in which he hasn't scored. He'll be needing to make it up somewhere down the line and the games aren't getting much easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 To those who argued getting rid of that vile goalscoring egoist Demba Ba would see Cisse magically return to scoring goals for fun: Having watched those chances he "missed" I'm more convinced that ever that you are clueless about the game. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't one of the most vociferous voices against us signing Ba in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How, Papiss! Let's switch for a bit, I'm pure fucked man. I'll gan up front for a bit and yee can work the wing." His head is already down, and it's plain to see. He had 3 very good chances in the span of 15 minutes in the first half, and all three were aimed towards the centre of the goal, where the goalie was standing. They were good saves, but a Cisse in good form would've put them out of the goalies reach, I'm sure. We need him to hit form soon, or someone other than Shola fucking Ameobi to partner him up front, because he's as much of a poacher in front of goal as you're gonna get. And a poacher out of form needs someone by his side that'll feed him, just as Ba did last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 goals will come, better to be missing chances than not get any chances. If he keeps working and getting in the right positions he score plenty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 He is getting into the right positions, granted, but it's really getting to me that he's offside more often than not.
