Papiss Cissé

[alexthegreat]

Think I saw someone say on another thread that he needs to play in a team that stretches defences and I think that is dead right.

 

Pardew normally lines us up with a right footed full back and a totally ineffective right footed winger on the left, and a left footed winger on the right.

 

Then theres usually 2 central midfielders who rarely go anywhere near the strikers, and there still isn't a proper target man at the club. It's no wonder he struggles.

[SEMTEX]

[DJ_NUFC]

Great dude.

[Gallowgate Toon]

He and Shola only exchanged 4 passes vs. West Ham

 

Absolutely shocking partnership.

Which way did they go? as in Shola to Cisse.

Doesn't really matter when one of them is Shola and none of your midfielders are within 20 yards.

Other way round from what I read.

Just seen the pics from when he let the kids into his house. 

 

I'm a bit annoyed with his performances at the moment, but i can never be mad at him because he's such a wonderful human being.

 

Which is rare in football these days, i tip my hat off to him.

[Jack Flash]

i tip my hat off to him.

 

I love you, Mole.

[madras]

can you do that ? i know you can tip your hat to someone, you can take your hat off to someone..............but can you tip your hat off to someone ?

 

probabaly why hat wearing is dying off IMO. too many top hats getting caught between tipping and being took off.

[thorin]

HE obv. needs supported movements, our team looks so static these first games it's a joke. I mean, they're talking about long balls-Sam, but holy shit, Pards doesn't seem any better atm. And it can't really only be that we're relying upon Cabaye to make those passes for the fluidity of the team to work.

 

IF we ever get a working 4231 or whatever formation, with movement, I'm pretty sure he'll put that ball in the back of the net.

[Dokko]

For me he either plays in a 442 or a advanced 433 or not at all. He's no good up top on his own, it's got to stop.

would be very good up top on his own if he got support, thats whats lacking, no one else in the team at present has "gettin gin the box" as part of their natural game. including gouffran when he's not playing up top himself.

He doesn't have the first touch, physical presence, pace, aerial ability or control to be effective up top by himself, not unless you've got two forwards working right behind him and willing to get infront of him at every opportunity, hence the advance 433 comment. If only he had one stand out ability I mentioned he'd be effective even in our current plight not relying on others to bring him in to the game. He's an all rounder with a poachers game, everything about him screams don't let him be the 1 in any formation.

 

Problem then if we get Gomis is I think Gomis & Remy will make a better partnership in a 442.

i think we have confused "up top", i mean in the box for which he has everything, just needs a little space that would be created by the oppo defenders having more than just him to think about.

This. We never see our midfielders run into the box.

Similar to Andy Cole in that respect, it doesn't make him a bad player, just means if he is going to be your main striker you have to deliver some service.

[The College Dropout]

It's a little blasphemous imo to compare Cisse to Andy Cole. I do think Andy Cole would struggle a little in this era but his touch in the box was superb. A better finisher than Cisse. Also stronger and more powerful in tight pockets to get himself a yard of space.
