Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

:lol: I'm confused now. Rich just said in the other thread it's Shola up top and Cisse right, contradicting what's been said in here. Which is it?

 

People should know who to listen to by now.

Great game tonight in my opinion that was hindered by the horrendous position he was put in. The few times he wandered out of position he was the Cisse of old. I really don't see how Pards doesn't get CISSE=MIDDLE. He must be blind not to see that

I hope we never ever see him start on the right hand side ever again.

 

He should never have played there at all ever really. Criminal to waste his poaching ability.

poaching is a micky quinn thing, his movement creates it but right he should always have been there.

Knowing our luck, him going back in the middle will coincide with a resumption of hoofball or hopeful (hopeless?) crosses from deep by Jonas.

 

Anyroad, here's hoping we can let him show us what he can do. I might even go as far as cautious optimism.

 

fwiw, I would say Chicharito is a poacher, a converter of clear chances. Last season, Cisse scored far too many barely half chances in a van-Persie-on-steroids manner to be a simple poacher. Conversely he hasn't impressed in one-on-ones.

Have to say, even though it was painful watching him trying to tackle players virtually at right back, he made a good go of it. He even got up the pitch to get into scoring positions despite running up and down that right flank.

Tell you what, if I was Cisse, I would be handing a transfer request in right away, because you would be thinking your manager was smoking crack for putting a big lumbering clown like Shola ahead of you.  Seriously though, he seems far too placid, but if that was me, I would have been booting Pardew's door down ala Duncan Ferguson style and asking what the f*** he was playing at.
