Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

So...we need him back to save us again.

 

Maybe the only one at the club who can score goals.

 

Yup, I suppose many Newcastle fans got what they wished for though...they wanted someone that gets involved more in the game then Cisse does.

Would be tempted to get him in, I'm not a big fan of his but he always seems to pop up with goals more often than not.

 

We might miss the hold up play element of dropping Mitro but goals are more important at this stage, though with our level of service to the strikers goals from Papiss are not guaranteed.

Cisse with motivation is a wonderful thing.

 

I'd be tempted to go with.

 

            Sav          Shel

 

Sissoko    Townsend      Winny

 

                  Cisse     

 

With Townsend supporting him.

Give him service he will score goals and we could do with one of his goal scoring runs big time at the moment - he saved us with his goals a couple of year back and I still think short term he would be our best bet

I think he's terrible, personally. Scores goals, admittedly, and that's exactly what we need. I don't even know how he scores them. Kinda makes me think it's all fluke, hence why I don't like him. We could do with some luck though...

This is basically how I feel.

I was a massive defender of his but his appearances this season have been pointless. Mitrovic recently has been just as bad like so it's six and two threes really.

 

The 2 beautiful bastards are heavily responsible in us being shit enough to sign Benitez though so I cannot really complain.

Cisse's been good in his few starts this season IMO

I think Cisse has to start if fit, he's a pure poacher, and now with the way we're playing we might see the ball in the box a bit more often.

 

Why are all our strikers so bad :lol:

2015 was a nightmare for him with the injuries and the gobbing and all that, but he might still have it in him. He scored five in Dec 2014, Pardew's last month.

 

For the first time in ages, we have a manager who can make the right judgement.

36 goals in 82 games for us.

 

Compares quite favourably with Mitro's 5 in 26.

 

Wikipedia (I know) has his PL record as 36 in 104. Exclude his stormer first half a season when he scored goals like a man possessed four years ago now and that goes down to 23 in 92, or exactly 1:4. It's better than Mitrovic, granted, but Cisse offers very little in general play, arguably less than Mitro who I rate just as little. There's not much in it really, and I think Doumbia would be approximately the same level but at least he offers pace. I would go with whomever appears to have the most confidence that they can get the goals we need and delivers the goods in training. If Cisse is happy, back to fitness and confident he could be that man.

You can't exclude his good run of goals to make his average look crap.

You can when a good 4 month run is out of sync with the other 4 years.

 

But you can't though, he scored those goals, so you need to count them, doesn't matter if he has not hit those heights again or not. He is nowhere near the player he seemed then, but you can't just ignore the goals he scored when he looked great for us.

 

Maybe we should not count the games he played and didn't score then, when Pardew played him out wide? Or all the other games he was left upfront on his own with no support or no service?

 

You can't pick and choose parts of someone's playing history, to make a point. You have to count it all.
