Papiss Cissé

[Jayson]

He has no self confidence anymore, his runs are poor, hes weak, he flaps at the ball if it comes near him. We've seen his real potential but hes not half the player now.

 

Hes done a Torres like & Ashley wont be happy about his investment.

[Guest bimpy474]

I got stick last week for saying this but i'll stick by it, just way off the pace. I have faith in him, he just needs little time out the firing line imo.

[Conjo]

He was awful today and against City. Service or no service. Good at one thing and one thing only. When we are unable to utilise that one quality, it's better to not use him at all.

[Mole_Toonfan]

If we are not creating for him he needs to be benched because he's f*cking useless otherwise.

 

Remy and Gouffran would offer the team a lot more and more importantly actually run in behind defences and give the likes of Anita and Ben Arfa an actual option to pass to.

 

Shola and Cisse just stood their like statues today.

[Andy]

He needed benched for this game.

 

He needed service. He gets fuck all of it.

 

That's only half the problem though. His hold up play has been discussed at length, but his movement isn't great at the moment and he doesn't look sharp at all. It's easy to blame a lack of creativity from other players, but I don't think he's particularly helping them either with his forward-play.

Looks like a player who doesn't want to be here. Maybe he was expecting to leave with the whole Wonga thing.

I agree with that too. His confidence is fucked though and he just isn't functioning in this side right now. I'm not saying it's his fault, he doesn't really work in a Pardew side like, so he should have been benched.

[Lotus]

Thing is, what we think of movement is running down the channels so the forward can get the ball, look up and realise the is ABSOLUTELY NO ONE within 25 yards of him and either pass it back to our FB or try to win a throw in.

 

Cisse's idea of movement is move a yard or 2 away from the CB on their blind side, making just enough space for himself if we managed to put a quality ball in.

 

As there is just slightly above 0% chance of putting a quality ball in it is incredibly clear that he's not much good for us and we're of no use to him.

 

What we need is the Real Ronaldo. Someone you can give a shit ball to, he'll control it, take on 5/6 defenders all on his own and score and the only reason our midfield will need to cross the half way line is to jog over and congratulate him.

 

Job for Graham Carr that one.

[alexf]

On his heels all game. One of his worst performances for us so far and subbed instead of Shola which says a lot.

His play outside the box is rubbish. We were told that when we signed him and we can't expect him to be something he's not. He's a poacher who shouldn't be starting if we don't plan to create chances for him.

This and to be honest poacher have no place in the modern game.

He has to actually look for the chances and make runs though, at the same time. He can't expect to just stand in the 18 yard box and have our creative players not only find him with a pass or a cross, but also completely remove any defenders that are marking him on his behalf. He's static as hell at the moment.

[Tiresias]

Service was no good for him, not saying he was good but yet again he's never getting balls in behind, do agree tho his movement is off and not in the right place enough

He always goes too early, As soon as we get the ball he's off making a run hence all the offsides.

 

The biggest problem we have is he doesn't drop into space and turn and run at the opposition either and because he's not quick we can't just play it down the flanks for him to chase.

[Lotus]

He actually made some nice moves in the box. Just the same as his 1st half season here. Just made himself the yard he needed. Difference was, the ball doesn't come anymore.

[Andy]

Service was no good for him, not saying he was good but yet again he's never getting balls in behind

 

He doesn't show for them, and when he does he either mistimes it and gets caught offside or doesn't have the sharpness to get on the end of the pass. It's as much the responsibility of the striker to create that kind of scenario as it is the midfielder. He's not playing on the shoulder effectively.

His game is about ghosting into positions.

[Skirge]

Poot really but the service was dreadful

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

I know it was pissing down with rain but to me it looked like he couldn't get off the pitch quick enough.

[Mole_Toonfan]

Poot really but the service was dreadful

 

If he needs service don't pick him... pick players who can stretch defences and actually contribute outside the 6 yard box.

 

 

[Elliottman]

There's something wrong with him for sure. Last season despite the shit service he was running his balls off and chasing things down. Not sure he has touched the ball more than ten times in thefirst two games.
