Ketsbaia Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The shot at the end was awful, yes. Until then he was just unlucky, with Federici being fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Happy to blame Pardew for today but Cisse should have scored a hat trick. Had at least three chances that he should have buried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The header I can maybe give as a good Federici save but the shot from the cross that Federici saved should have been buried. His second half chance he had so much time and completely fluffed it.

Dyeyzzon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think the through ball and low cross are the types of deliveries he thrives on, not knock downs by tall centre forward partners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Cisse is just a significantly inferior footballer to Ba. He has extremely impressive predatory finishing skills when he's confident, but even then offers almost nothing else. Right now, his lack of self-belief has taken away his finishing, and he still offers nothing else. There is definitely a place for him on this team, but he's been "off-form" all season now, which is the majority of his career here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Still think he can be the guy for us, just missused and had his confidence knocked by a complete tosspot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He's low on confidence and snatching at shots. Still a quality player and will be again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 He's low on confidence and snatching at shots. Still a quality player and will be again. FM-tastic tbh he needs to start taking responsibility for his own performances, fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Aye he snatched at two rush of blood on the last one but was denied by two great save today too, the 2nd save was world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not a problem at all today IMO (late shot over aside). If we'd continued to feed him like we had up to half time, he'd have scored at least one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 2 of his chances were cracking saves. That low Debuchy cross was a lot more difficult than it looked, their 'keeper was out like a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Missed 3 good chances. (Although, that header he couldn't have done much more with.) Fucking hell man, we need him back as soon as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd continued to feed him like we had up to half time, he'd have scored at least one. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to turn on our own players, but to suggest the one striker we depend upon to fire us to safety missing four big chances in a match we eventually lose against relegation rivals is "not a problem at all" is a bit odd..

Well obviously I'd have rather he scored those chances, but apart from the one he blasted over (that I acknowledged in my post) I don't really see what else he could have done on the others. Header was a magnificent save, contact on the volley was probably too perfect and the cross from Debuchy was smothered well. He didn't score, but it doesn't mean he was poor. Sometimes you've just got to admit that the opposition goalkeeper had a great game. The real problem was how easy he had it in the second half.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Also the fact he played more on the wing in that second half is a joke, his movement was brilliant in the first and he looked very threatening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you've just got to admit that the opposition goalkeeper had a great game. The real problem was how easy he had it in the second half. The volley and the header were instinctive, first touch finishes indicative of the kind of striker he is. I think maybe another (type of) striker would have controlled the ball for the volley to give himself more time. Both finishes were straight at the 'keeper though, whether that is unlucky or not I don't know, but last season he didn't miss many of those and they would have gone straight in the top corner. The one on one after that excellent cross from Debuchy I feel he should definitely have done better as he had plenty of time. Yes, Frederici came out early, but he could have slipped it past him, chipped it over him or even took the ball around him. The chance in the dying seconds of the game was just a terrible lack of composure. Put it this way, I don't think Ba would have been so "unlucky" today and would probably have got away with at least one goal against these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
