Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Gouffran is a better striker than Riviere and yet he never gets the chance up top. This is what I was saying when we were linked to Riviere. Gouffran arrived as the better player, but after a 1.5 years of Pardew-ball he might not be that attacker anymore. He has been playing in the "run hard, but aimlessly down the left side" role for quite a while now. Another thing about Cisse seemingly returning early and looking fit/confident is that we will almost certainly never see Facundo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd rather Cisse be in a wheelchair than lose his job is how this should be spun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 He won't be risked in the cup games, they mean nothing for the club. I expect him to be on the bench for the next league game and risked once more if we are behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 TCD singles out only Dummett and Cisse for criticism. Predictable and ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TruToon94 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That match against Hull proves to me this guy potentially still has it under a decent manager. Putting him out wide though killed him. Get a decent manager with some confidence and he can do it. That said anything over five mil and we should sell him.

MW Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 He was putting effort in. The service to him was absolutely abysmal. We know there's a decent player in there I'm hopeful once we have a new manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Doesn't feel right that this player is being risked when he isn't at full fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Neville made a great point. He has zero presence, zero nuisance factor, rarely teas defenders. And to top it all off - he's not particularly good at his strengths. We'll need him big time until January at least however. I didn't see goals in this side at the start of the season and I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 He'd really benefit from a partner but he has an idiot manager who subs off a striker for a striker at half time when losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Honestly, I think Riviére and Cisse would complement each other decently. I actually thought that was the plan once Cisse were fit and Pardew would switch to a 4-4-2. Seems not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I got shot down by Ron for suggesting that Riviere would be a 'great' partner for Cisse last week after the Hull game, I still maintain that he would be a Great partner for him because Riviere would dovetail well and make space for Cisse. There's a difference between a great partner and a great striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 At least he actually moved and puts himself about. Rivière has the movement of Shola. He's pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 He's had a season with Falcao and Berbatov to learn how to play with good finishers and I believe Cisse also is if he isn't completely shot of confidence and played on the flanks. Had a good goal record considering he played off the bench too. Doesn't prove he's PL quality, but he should be able to make space for a partner in a 2 up top lineup, the way he played his first few PL games shows he's willing to drag defenders all over the place which is what Ba used to do for Cisse when he first signed. We have just had no-one making use of the space because 4 days a week all our players are told to get behind the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Until we get a new manager. Most players get a free pass for me 'cept the Captain and his motley crew of centre back buddies. But our Captain will never stand up and be counted. He's hid the day Cabaye left. Wish He'd retire or go back to Lorenzo. Clear as day who our captain was and even he wanted out under this shower of garbage and s***. The lad who can take people on in the final third also dared to take the world and team on his shoulders and he was shipped off too bc the broad shoulders and brilliant leader that is Colo couldn't stand him. f*** off.
