TRon Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 His one touch link up play is actually really good when it's not really really shit. He's capable of the ridiculous but sometimes does something daft like kick a simple 5 yard ball out of play, or sky an open goal over the bar. I'm surprised more people won't admit this, but then again I'm not that surprised either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Cisse's all round game doesn't need to be good, he's a finisher and to be honest when he's on form he's a pretty fucking decent finisher as well. He's not the type of forward you get who is going to hold up play for there to join or to play others in, he's the type who you get the ball to and he does that last bit of sticking it in the net.

Agree, apart from he is crap when he gets no service which was the majority of time during his first full season to the present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think he'll be gone come the summer but we'll probably replace him with a Riviere type player and be absolutely fucked next season. His all round game is absolutely shocking though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Think he'd struggle at Arsenal, you have to have more about you to play for the top clubs unless you're utterly ridiculous at that limited role like van Nistelrooy was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Resorting to last minute loan attempts that have virtually no chance of coming off instead of identifying suitable targets early in the window and spending some of their vast financial resources on them. The bloke's draining the life out of AFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke's draining the life out of AFC. I disagree although the state of those other targets are quite horrendous like. I think given the net spend and Arsenal having absolutely no ambitions on winning the actual league is the more pertinent point. They net less than Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 a fit cisse in an attacking team with 2 good wingers a good partner upfront to draw attention will easily score 15+ a season.

TaylorJ_01 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Nobody scores a bullshit goal like Papiss Yeah. I like how drastically his goals vary. Swerving megabeast volleys into the top corner like every game - now just dribbling fumbles into the net. They all count I guess, just think he's due a swerving megabeast volley.

Ste Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Read and hear a lot of people saying "he's deadly in the 6 yard box", get him in the box and he'll score!" A lot of strikers will, and they'll also add something to the all round play of the team. I wonder how bad this knee of his is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 He's not deadly in the 6 yard box though, he's deadly with the ball at his feet pretty much anywhere within 30 yards of goal. He's far from being just a poacher, although recently that's where his goals are coming from. He's also very capable of linking up with the other forwards which usually gets ignored due to his his sometimes erratic touches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"sometimes erratic touches." - Such an understatement, he plays some awful passes/ touches at times yet other times they are absolutely incredible.

Guest TruToon94 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Honestly he's had quite a good season and I was one (of the few I admit) that wanted to get rid of him at the start of the season and he looked like the only player who gave a damn in the Palace match. I'll get slated for this but if our clubs going to carry on with this shit with Carver in charge what we need is a Target Man to play alongside him to free up a bit of space. Cisse has proven this season he still can finish, has good technique and his positioning seems to have improved just a touch. Now if by some miracle we get the likes of De Boer or Clement in then I doubt he'd have a place here but if we stick with the shit, we'd be crazy to get rid of him.

Yorkie Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 From what I've seen this season, his play from deep has improved a lot. I know an easy counter is to say "he shouldn't be that deep!" but sometimes strikers need to be. It can just appear non-profitable with our team because the attacking play is so muddled and opportunist that a striker coming deep is usually to the detriment of the move. But anyway, as I say, his footwork in the channels and closer to the halfway line has improved. He's no longer stalling our alleged attacks by simply letting the ball bounce off him. Those basic skills were sorely missing in the last year or so, as well as his movement (which still isn't a patch on his initial form) - which is why I was desperate to get shot of him at one point. He looked absolutely buggered. He's turned things around significantly this year though and fair play to him. Cisse will go down as yet another player I wished we had during a different era. When he initially leaves, historically he'll only really be remembered for those first four months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
