Dave Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 When we have all our eggs in one Papiss-shaped basket he has to be a lot better than he was tonight unfortunately. Love him to bits but the offsides are becoming stupid at best and downright incompetent at worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love him to bits but the offsides are becoming stupid at best and downright incompetent at worst. agree. He's very very good but the offside thing is such a basic weakness that holds him, and us, back quite a lot. Needs coaching about the offside rule by our plethora of attacking coaches.

Love him to bits but the offsides are becoming stupid at best and downright incompetent at worst. Which of the offsides were stupid/downright incompetent tonight? The ones where he's looking right down the line of defenders and drifts beyond them anyway. Or when players are breaking with the ball and he's not an option due to being beyond the last defender. Staying onside is a skill, it's not good enough for him to just put the ball in no matter what and hope to drop lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 He's a striker who relies on instincts though. Once you start telling him not to go with those instincts you end up taking away what he's good at. I personally think his movement is brilliant.

I disagree, anyway. If he isn't offside - then both of the strikes for each disallowed goals wouldn't have even happened. It's extremely frustrating on immediate reflection - cos it's a goal and then it's not and it's fucking torture - but I wouldn't change him. I don't begrudge him either of those incidents tonight. He plays on the last shoulder so he's liable to be offside anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 He's great, we just need to learn to play that pass earlier, we can be so slow at making an obvious pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Coleman and mcClaren were jizzing over his movement. I thought he was great.. Particularly when he called the lino a fool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The margins between awesome Cisse and disappointing Cisse are so small - we're 2 post widths and a narrow offside away from a Europa semi. It'll all come together soon I reckon - hopefully Sunday... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Forgot his weird little run after he scored, what was that about? Don't know why but it reminded me of uncle Fester Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 He needs to stop moaning at his team-mates. It's a bad habit that's recently crept in whenever the ball doesn't go where he wants. Just forget it and concentrate on your own game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I thought he was fantastic today. He gets a lot of unfair criticism for his work outside the penalty area, but he ran the Benfica team ragged single-handedly for most of the game. With the kind of support he got in the final 20 mins he'd have got a hat trick over 90 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Is he not offside a lot because of the running he's doing? He's been chasing defenders around like a blue arsed fly for weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just forget it and concentrate on your own game. Such a random criticism, especially when his own game has been terrific recently. He's hardly Danny Simpson, whinging at his team-mates when it's him who's actually fucked up. Ball goes aimlessly over his head - nowhere near him, he strops for a few seconds, then is back to normal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 His moaning is just because he has a strong desire to win. I love that in a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
