TRC Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 What formation was he used in at Freiburg? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He's being asked to do most of his work about forty yards from goal. How much does someone like Hernandez do on the edge of the centre circle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 What formation was he used in at Freiburg? 4-5-1,4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, he's been deployed as a lone striker practically all his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 This lads confidence is shot, was not in the game but I feel subbing him at HT is only another blow to his confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So just like Anita, Cabaye, HBA then? 4 of our "purples" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Cisse offered more in 45 minutes than his replacement did, at least he doesn't have the movement of a corpse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He's woefully out of form but he's suffering massively because there's no pattern to our play whatsoever. He's got no idea where to be or where the ball will be delivered. The second half today was simply a more honest, refined version of the first. Shola is better at it.

TJM Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Just give him a role through the middle with Ba on the left of a front three. Forget individuals, benefits the team as a whole. Gotta go back to this now surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He looks dreadful at the minute. Time for a spell on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Last season he knew where to be and we knew where to find him, playing Ba central has deffo cost Cisse a little but I would expect him to be able to adapt. His confidence is shot but he is still working hard & IMO taking hi off at HT was craziness. He needs to be shown we have faith in him but he also needs us to move the ball faster and get it in there so he can have something to get onto.

Elliottman Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Bench him and play who? Shola? f*** off. No, 433 with ferguson/sami/marv and hba either side of ba. He doesnt deserve to be in the team at the minute, there's no argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 If you play 4-3-3 then Cisse has to be the focal point, that's the point. Ferguson's no more a wide forward than Krul is, and Marveaux is yet to show that he can play there either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Because Cisse out wide has been a disaster? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I wish we had a wide forward with a genuine goal threat as then we could actually entertain the idea of dropping Cisse. Having someone like Ince would be great for this squad tbh but until we get someone like that we will never see it. While Cisse has been shat who is there to come in that will do any better as far as goal threats go? Sammy has shown bits and pieces, Marveaux has shown f*ck all and Ferguson is never a forward. I know we need defenders but quite honestly i'd like to see us to get someone like Ince before all that as quite frankly our forward line is screaming out for someone like that not to mention Ben Arfa is screaming out for some creative help.

Tiresias Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 With him in the team we're playing with 10 men atm, needs to be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We created nothing in the first half. That's not Cisse's fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 With him in the team we're playing with 10 men atm, needs to be dropped. Cisse isn't the problem, the style of play and ultra negative tactics is. Honestly there's a massive problem if you are Pardew and you prefer Shola to a £10m striker with a fantastic goalscoring record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The thing is, when Shola has played this season he's looked no worse than the £10million striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
