Jack Flash Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If he can learn to calm down and take another touch he could get near 20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 He'll outscore Darren Bent and Loic Remy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think he'll comfortably get 15 plus with (wait for it...) decent service. I think it's pretty much a given actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 16-20 if Pardew get the line-up(s) right this season. Under 10 if not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'd expect him to get more than a dozen. I also hope that the likes of Remy, Ben Arfa and Gouffran also chip in so they get 40+ between them. No good being solely reliant on just one player they all need to contribute over the course of the season, it shouldn't be down to just one man. A few from Cabaye and Sissoko and the back 4 wouldn't go amiss either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 He really needs to be getting close to 20 goals in all competitions to justify his selection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 He won't even get 10 if Pardew continues with this ridiculous way of playing. The amount of chances he would get when he first arrived compared to now is night and day. Fix it or he might as well not be on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 He still gets plenty of chances, it's just that he misses almost all of them now by trying to be clever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 He really needs to be getting close to 20 goals in all competitions to justify his selection.

There is some truth to that but at the same time he doesn't get many clear cut ones per game from what i see. The main reason for that is the midfield that is supposed to be supporting him is 40 yards apart. When he joined this wasn't an issue because Ben Arfa, Cabaye and Ba were all in close proximity lending support. Get back to that and he'll score goals, stick with what we currently do and he'll struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still gets plenty of chances, it's just that he misses almost all of them now by trying to be clever. Plenty of chances? you make us sound like barcelona setting messi up every 10 minutes. Cisse is lucky to get a proprr shooting or heading chance 1 in each half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 FWIW this season he'll go on a hot streak. 10 in 10 type thing. Then hopefully another 6-7 throughout the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Are we talking about Premier League goals or goals in all competitions? What? Just from some of the predictions it seems we must be talking about Premier League only but surely it makes more sense to look at all competitions.

Just from some of the predictions it seems we must be talking about Premier League only but surely it makes more sense to look at all competitions. Just think about it.... Yeah ok fair enough Still might get the odd cup game/goal but I suppose its not going to make too much difference.. Anyway on how many I think he'll get. Last season went as badly for him as possible, shit form, shit luck, the whole team playing terribly. He got 9 (outside Europe) so I think its reasonable to think he'll get at least 12-15 next season. If he gets 15 that would be very good going considering I expect him to play no more than 38 games (including cups). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now now be fair, Cisse did get one sub apearance in cup games last year Without Europe tiring us out so much he might get as many as 2 sub appearances, or even one start!

Mattoon Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It's unfair to blame his tally purely on his ability, yes there are chances he should be scoring that he isn't, he's not in the same class as say RVP, he's in the same class as those strikers that infuriate at times. For him to do well, as has been said, we need to change our approach to games. He's not gonna take down a 40 yard pass every game, take on two defenders and rifle a shot past the keeper from 18 yards, cuz that's all he's getting! He needs support in and around the box, a slide through pass from some pressing play, or a simple one-two with someone in support, a midfielder running into the box and pushing it sideways in front of him, etc.. How often do we see that in a game? We're too negative and scared to press up the pitch, unless we get bodies higher up we're never gonna see him netting 20 a season. Again it boils down to playing for our opponents weaknesses rather than our strengths and unless we change that fundamental floor we'll never see any of our "purples" playing to their full potential unfortunately.
