BottledDog Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Glad he scored and in that situation it was the right thing to do to give it to him to take, but generally, if Shola's on the pitch he must be the first in line and I have no idea why that's not the case. It's happened two games in a row now, hmmm. My theory is that if the game is pretty much won then someone else takes the penalty but if it's a pressure situation then Shola Cabaye steps up? s*** theory I know.

Stifler Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I wasn't able to celebrate his goal from the penalty spot much. I was standing there thinking he's going to be flagged offside here. Safety smilie to let you know I'm joking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Aye, that was great like. Been very critical of Papiss recently but was genuinely pleased for him against Stoke when he was about to come on and eventually scored. Hopefully this brings about more competition for the CF spot(s) too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Sissoko made a bit of a mess of being sent through on goal and let the defender stop him getting a shot away, ball bounced loose and Cisse was following up to slam in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He could have a Tiote like resurgence but at the moment he is useless. As I said in another thread, if we could get someone like Gomis in like for like I would be very happy. If we are selling to a cash rich club we could probably get double what his replacement would cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-turn-down-bid-6498790 Newcastle United are understood to have turned down a £9million bid for Papiss Cisse. The number 9 has subject of a £9million from an unnamed Qatar club who visited Tyneside this week. Cisse has been given limited opportunities this season by Alan Pardew and as reported in the Chronicle on January 1 an approach from West Ham was also knocked back. And understandably Cisse is keen to play on a regular basis as his career hits the peak stage at 28. Cisse netted against Cardiff City in the FA Cup to bag his third of the season. But it remains to be seen whether he gets a chance against Manchester City today Well it was stupid to decline that offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It depends. If we feel we aren't going to be able to bring in another striker, then rejecting that offer makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know it was the first offer? Plus if it was someone needs sectioning, loaded or not. More likely we've been touting him around there and leaked a fake bid to get things moving. It's how fat mike tried to sell the club there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I was at the Cardiff FA cup game. I was impressed with the goal he got. He squeezed the ball in from a tight angle when there were bodies in the way. Later in the game the ball came to him on the edge of the box. The old, confident Cissé would have volleyed a shot at goal but instead he hesitated and then passed the ball to Ben Arfa. He also just failed to get on the end of the good cross from the right which Obertan put in. Cissé is out of form but NUFC don't play to his strengths. We don't have wingers who put crosses into the box and even if we did we rarely have more than one player in the box. We don't play balls into feet.

We don't have wingers who put crosses into the box and even if we did we rarely have more than one player in the box. We don't play balls into feet. What are his strengths though? Crosses into the box? He's 5"11 and not exactly known for his aerial prowess. When we do play to feet his first touch isn't all that great and he lacks pace to run in behind unless his run and the pass is timed to perfect. Cisse just isn't good enough to be starting week in week out I'm afraid he just doesn't offer enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
