Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

Unless he turns it around by managing to knock a few goals in in the next few games.  He can fuck right off.  On last night's showing, I think I'd genuinely have Gouffran starting over him.  Absolutely pathetic from him.  Never ready for the ball, didn't chase anything down, first touch worse than usual and just looked disinterested all night.

 

I know we're short of options, but how he stayed on for 90 minutes is beyond me.

Hang on a second. Only a few weeks ago the majority on here were dead set against selling him (and replacing with Austin or AN Other) as Papiss Cisse supposedly was our only dependable source for goals, despite the fact that he only managed an average of 7 PL goals per season over the past three seasons whilst adding absolutely nothing positive to our general play. This season he has bundled another goal in and so is still averaging what he has done in his time here bar the first six months. What has changed for people to suddenly be so vitriolic? His style has always been languish and seemingly disinterested, his first touch has always been rubbish and his hold up play has always been non-existent. Yesterday evening was nothing new really; it's what I've been witnessing for the past few years and I would go as far as to say if Mitrovic doesn't sort himself out real soon we are in serious trouble again this season.

I've never seen it that bad.  He's always had a s*** first touch, snatched at chances from improbable angles/distances and been offside about 5-6 times a game.  But last night, he was visibly disinterested and didn't even react to anything.  I think Cisse from last year, would have reacted to some of the deflections in the box.  Every time it broke to him or came through to him, it was like he was a second or two too slow to react and just totally unaware of what was going on around him. 

 

Final straw was near the end.  When in fairness to our merry team of useless f***ers.  Most of them were actually chasing the ball and pressing.  Cisse was just stood up top, barely even walking about.  Now if he'd been working like a dog all game, then fair enough.  But I'm not sure he even broke into a sprint last night.

Nothing's changed for me, I've heard this all before. He's still the only striker we've got who looks like scoring goals, given some half decent service which he's still not getting.  I don't make any claims that he's some great all round target man either, but with Mitrovic out, there's no one else who you can put in there who might get in goal scoring positions and put the chances away. Even Mitrovic still has to show he can do that in the premier by the way.
