Cronky Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 didn't even think for one second he'd miss once he was in. The reality is he could easily have missed. It wasn't a particularly powerful shot, it was straight at the keeper, but fortunately it went through his legs. I still don't think his form is particularly good. I don't think we should rigidly adhere to the mentality that it's all about the rest of the team creating chances for Cisse. We shouldn't be afraid to try other options ie Gouffran.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 aye Scanlon reads this board. Tweeted something when I had a joke about his tie being horrifically tied on one of the videos.

Swings and roundabouts. He deserved at least two goals against Reading if you want to look at it that way. The header was well placed and 9 times out of 10 no keeper would have got near it and the swivel volley wouldn't even have been a chance for most other strikers.

Cajun Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Most goals are potentially saveable, fact is he looked up, placed the ball where he thought would have the best chance of getting through and it paid off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The thing about Cisse is that he has been getting into those positions as he did for the goal yesterday all season, the only problem was people supplying the ball never saw that pass until he had made his run into an offside positions or simply didn't even make it, Sissoko has the awareness to see and make the pass before Cisse has run into an offside position.

KDT Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Don't think he was offside for the chipped ball that Sissoko played earlier in the game, good to see they are forming a bit of an understanding so early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky what happened man The "reality" that he could have easily missed can be counter-argued by the "reality" that he could have scored from previous situations which he did miss. If you know anything about football, and I'm certain that you do, you'll understand what the goal meant for his confidence last night. Make no mistake, it was an emphatic finish.

Spot on. Also, Cisse pointed to where he wanted it, and Sissoko obliged without dallying for a second. That's the type of supply Cisse thrives on.

pi_D Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Remind me more and more of Darren Bent. Really? Cisse can actually play football and has an awareness that allows him to bring other players into the attack. Bent does not. :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Isn't he 1 in 2 for the last six games or so? Yup, 3 in his last 6 and 4 in his last 11. Most of which he's been playing wide right. Get the side right behind him and he'll score goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason he's offside a lot of the time is because people don't play the ball when they should! Hugely encouraged by that pass from Sissoko. He didn't hesitate to send it through to Papiss. Lovely vision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 His form has been poor at times this season but he is being judged against and amazing run last season, he showed enough last season for me to know the lad has qualities. I have little doubt we'll have a top class striker on our hands again, just maybe won't be hitting the heights of last Jan - May for such a prolonged period of time.

If you know anything about football, and I'm certain that you do, you'll understand what the goal meant for his confidence last night. Make no mistake, it was an emphatic finish. Sure we can call it luck all we want but if you don't have the talent luck doesn't just fall your way. Yes Cisse kicked it straight at the keeper and yes it went through his legs but I believe the goal was instinctive. It's not just a matter of shooting at the keeper and hoping it goes through his legs. It was how he kept the shot low, it was how he timed the shot early so that the keeper wasn't prepared and so couldn't adjust his body when he realised the ball was coming as he was planning to fling himself across goal. All these small things add up and yes there was certainly an element of luck, but the degree of luck and the degree of skill that goal required can be easily mistaken. I remember Shearer's 200th or 201st goal against Portsmouth went through the keepers legs. No way can you say that was luck, the goal was instinctive and no one doubted he would score once he got into that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Strikers in the Cisse mould score a ton of goals that go through the keepers legs, off his shoulder, in off the post, whatever. The skill is in the perfect first touch and the clean, low strike. The fact it went through the keeper's legs is irrelevant to me, I couldn't care less. The fact is that he is a born predator who scores a ton of goals playing in the way he does. He has a dryish spell, but nothing has fundamentally changed IMO.

Skirge Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Aye hitting the target is what counts, vs Reading he was smashing showing a lack of composure but this time he got his first touch right calmed down and hit the target.. Great to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Last season is was his total relaxation that impressed me, if you look at him on replays his whole body is just totally relaxed and only his striking leg moves with any tension. Hopefully we'll supply him with some decent chances over the next few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
