Would score a few i reckon.

 

He will, he looks a different animal right now.

He had joy last night because of benfica's high line,  he rarely gets that luxury in the premiership.

but also dropped off him to let him lay the ball off with his head a few times. best of both worlds for him.

Amazes me that there's any real debate about Cisse, like. Play him centrally, give him service and he'll always score and open up space for others.

:nods:

Shocking that I've seen people suggest that we should try and upgrade on him in the summer.

Edit: I'm sure you've been saying this as well, but it's hardly a surprise that he scored and was desperately unlucky to not get two from low crosses. We have to look for that ball more often.

People wanting an upgrade are forgetting how brilliant he is when given the right service and confident. I do want another striker as 1 and Shola is not enough at all (though Campbell may make the grade) but not an 'upgrade'. Cisse was great Thursday, imagine if he'd got that hattrick he was so close to away at Benfica...

He needs competition and someone else to take the pressure off a bit. I reckon Gouffran would look a lot more lethal through the centre but we have no-one capable of playing the position he vacates.

 

If we sign the players we should in the summer (another forward and a wide player) Cisse will have a lot more help. That said he has looked a lot more his old self of late. I thought he was brilliant at Benfica, was all over the place and making very intelligent runs, reading the line a lot better than he was at the start of the season too.

It really is as simple as this. Just keep feeding him and the goals will come. We've had fuck all from midfield this season so it's hardly surprising that Cisse hasn't hit the heights of last season.

 

The team needs to support each other.

The 4231 just doesn't work in my opinion.

 

We had plenty of success last year with what became a flexible 442/433 formation, none of this trendy 4231 bullshit.

 

Give Cisse proper strike partner/s and we are much better.

I'm a little peeved about him going for the lofted finish when one-on-one. It was a good performance/bodes well, but I really wish he'd put his laces through it or taken it around the keeper instead.
