jesus - this place sometimes.

 

people arguing cisse should be on the bench are mad imo.

 

when we have confidence and our attacking play is rolling you do not get a better poacher! not the greatest footballer...but he ain´t that bad either.

 

needs to be fit to start of course....but in the right set up he is among the very best in the box!

 

:love:

Imagine Darren Bent scoring the goals against Chelsea, Villa, Southampton and Swansea. Or even that Liverpool header for that matter. It just never happened.

I'm not sure starting out wide really suits Perez, tbh, he seems to be a player at his most comfortable when moving out wide from a central position and then weaving back in to the space opened up. Cabella's a bit different, he seems more adept moving a few metres infield from the flank, picking up spaces inside & starting attacking moves (this'd suit Janmaat's game more too, IMO).

 

The other issue I have is our counter game with de Jong-Cisse together, we've been great recently having at least one of those two spots taken up by a player that can take the ball in transition and carry it up the pitch with speed, I think we'd lose a lot of that 'fret' with a one-paced combination like that.

His link up play really is poor, but you could get away with that if his finishing was very reliable. Unfortunately we've found over a large number of games that it isn't.

 

The trouble with these specialist poachers is that the minute they go on a bit of a scoring run, everyone starts to say that they've recovered form, as though normal service has been resumed after a blip. In fact, by the laws of statistics, a striker's goals aren't going to be evenly spread out, and you are going to get these good runs and barren spells.

 

The question is, taking into account his overall play and his finishing ability as shown in bad times as well as good, is he the best option. For me, no. I'd continue to let Ayoze lead the line.

It's weird, because when he first arrived his link up play was excellent. Almost as though it's been coached... Nah never mind.

 

He was playing with players whose link up player was significantly better than his like Cabaye, HBA and Ba.  But aye, he looked a player with a great first touch, could knock the ball about and was good even with his back to goal.  He doesn't have that quality of players to rely on.

 

But never the less, really hope he keeps his form and goalscoring up.  He just seems like such a sound bloke who is genuinely thankful to be where he is in life.  His constant smile and enthusiasm shows this.

It wasn't like. When you're scoring every game though who is watching?

 

some will come back with his form and confidence going up

Not his natural position and likely to lead to him being marked out of games as teams become more aware of the threat he poses. Fantastic idea if you factor that out though.

Don't you get bored with repeating the same shite in this thread day after day? Everyone knows your opinion of him, do you really need to go on and on and on about it?

Cisse will never be a great footballer.  He's probably not as bad as some exaggerations mind.  The main problem I had with him when his form was poor, was his inability to read the offside trap to any professional level.  Yes I know some goals got wrongly disallowed but he was still caught offside a ridiculous number of times.  It seems like he's fixed that a little bit so far this season.

You're wrong. It's that simple.
