Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

I don't think our recent improvement has got anything to do with Ba leaving.

 

Its obviously mostly to do with the arrivals but i do think replacing Ba with Sissoko and Gouffran in a sense has made the team a lot more team orientated and about team play than individual ability this performances improved.

 

Don't get me wrong Sissoko and Gouffran obviously have individual ability but there seems to be more a focus on team play now than their was before.

Laughable. He often starts offside let's be honest. He often clearly isn't looking across the line to even attempt being onside. C'mon.

Nah, not "often" like, it's happened a few times this season where he's looked absolutely brain dead standing in a offside position but there's no need to exaggerate it. (He has an average of 1 offside a game according to that shitty WhoScored.)

Don't believe that like.

 

Sometimes he's so offside, the deep player knows it and doesn't pass it to him. Bigi's goal for example. I'd like to believe he was making a distracting run but tbh, he was miles off and wasn't dragging any defenders with him.

 

Same match I think he decided to hold Ba's hand in an offside position.

Wouldn't mind if he was on the wing. He's just not in good enough form to be the lone striker. People give Cisse too much rope on here.

In that case put him on the bench and play a proper winger. That would be the logical conclusion to your train of thought.

I've been critical of him, but seeing as Shola is our one and only alternative today Cisse should play centrally be it in a 442 or 433. Anything else is an insult.

Also, he's still part of a front 3 (hopefully). Can still get into good positions. Let's see how he does today.

 

If he's out of form as according to your earlier post, then why play him at all? Put him on the bench and leave the goal scoring to the deadly Shola.

Oh, nevermind! I'm just trying to keep my optimism for this one! Sorry TRon!

Cisse, please score two, Shola, please do something. I'm going for a refill. HWTL!!!

I think an additional striker should be our main target in the next window.

 

I don't think Cisse is versatile enough. What we're seeing now is pretty much what we're going to get - a poacher who doesn't offer much else. We were being over-optimistic in hoping that the freaky run of last season was going to continue.

 

Shola can do a good job as a target man and is woefully under-rated on here, but we could do with someone more mobile.

 

Gouffran I feel confident can do a job in that wider position, but we need someone in the middle to take us to the next level.
