TRon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 75% pass completion rate which is very poor. Tbf to him, it doesn't help when the #10 Siss comes in at 69%. It doesn't help when his movement is being coached out of him by a manager obsessed with players dropping back either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi_D Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Played crap, didn't hold it up, wasted possession. You see this is where people are missing the point. If a striker doesn't hold it up and wastes possession, how is the team going to consistently create chances for him? How are we going to get that far up the pitch a lot of the times? Stoke defended extremely deep because it was injury time. They allowed us to play up until the edge of their area but that doesn't happen at 0-0 or for most of the match. Modern strikers need to help the team get up the pitch. Just stop posting man, please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi_D Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 He's a finisher no doubt. I've always said that. But I don't think his overall game is good enough. I don't think he can do enough for the team or for himself to sniff out goals. You can't just knock it over the top for him to use his pace. You can't keep putting it in the air to utilise his aerial ability/movement. You can't just put it in the box and he'll find his foot to it. His volley game is brilliant but you can't just roll it into him from outside the box. Won't out muscle someone and poke it in. You understand what i'm saying? He has such specific strengths that only a few of our players can utilise regularly. No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 For such a limited player, he doesn't half end up in a lot of goalscoring positions... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the most goals in a calendar year, most consecutive goals in games, etc. it's what you do against Stoke on a freezing night that matters.

Tsunami Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 He looked a very frustrated player today, he struggled to get into the game and he was very lucky to stay on the pitch. He was fortunate the Ref was lenient; he should buy him a drink and hope that the winning goal is the turning point we all are looking for. Our service to him today was generally awful.

Dave Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 "We wouldn't give in and we kept asking different questions. In Sylvain Marveaux we have brought on somebody who has found the eye of a needle pass to a guy (Cisse) who has been non-existent today. "But because he's a natural goalscorer, he has an awful touch really, but instead of snatching at it he lets it come all the way down and brings the roof off with a winning goal."

Dave Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 On the Sky interview he says Pap was crap today, at least he noticed. "Papiss, I think, would be the first to tell you he was awful today. He didn't do anything, really, to influence other than doing well on some defensive issues for us. "But then the moment comes. It's an eye-of-the-needle pass from Marveaux, which he has [in his game]. The ball pops up and most strikers would snatch at that. "But he let it come all the way down and finished it and in the 92nd minute, that's not easy to do, trust me." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your rose tinted specs off He can be clinical enough, we've seen him be unbelievably clinical. It's just that he's not clinical right now, and we need to get him back to that cos the alternative right now is Shola.
