Guest bimpy474 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Granted he needs service, but he has somehow got worse from last season. He has developed Ameobi first tough, Debuchy strength and Taylor Brain. We need at least another striker and winger. Preferably someone creative through the middle too. That is regardless of replacing Cabaye. We are an utter shambles. After 1 game against Kompany? It wasn't who he was against, it was the lack of ball control or an ounce of ability to hold the ball up. He was just awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 'Twas lovely when Tiote played a delightful, piss-weak, sloppy pass somewhere vaguely in his direction, inside his own half with a man on him and his back to goal and he instantly lost it.

Stood up like a man in the freekick. Not be weak as piss and lose out to Kompany for the 1st/2nd goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Carragher's bang on. Taylor's lost the plot. Players being terrible in the wall. Debuchy's performance. Cisse being weak as piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this falls at Pardew feet with the tactics but even Pardew can't be blamed for Cisse's lack of basic football skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I don't want to be overly harsh on him as we nearly failed to a man tonight, but his hold up play is non existent. We're absolutely desperate for a Gomis type. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 He's a luxury player, fits on the end of nice passing play well. Through balls on the floor, chipped over maybe. Chipped crosses, long balls, back to goal nonsense will never work. Hes to weak & gets demoralised to quickly. We need a bigger lad if we're to play like this.

We're absolutely desperate for a Gomis type. My fear is that we'll land Gomis and then waste half a season trying to get him into a partnership with Cisse. It'll fail in the same way that Ba and Cisse failed. We need a replacement for Cisse, not a partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to say he has got worse from last season after 1 game is dim as f***. I can see basic concepts are hard for you to grasp. He looked much worse today than he did last season. I am not writing him off, asking for him to be dropped or saying this permanent, just stating fact. Worst performance we have seen from him and even the basic things that he was able to do well previously were utterly abysmal. Like many of our "better players" they have been on a slide form and ability wise for nearly a year. If a full pre-season and clean break can't get make them look any fresher and in fact makes them come out worse the coaching staff or themselves have to be questioned.

Andy Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Genuinely might as well play an extra midfielder and have no forwards at all if we're just going to leave Cisse up top, isolated. He has no attributes whatsoever that make him suitable for it. His hold-up play and link-up play are absolutely dire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Great when through on goal this lad, we just can't get ever craft a moment for him to ever be in scoring position. So he's pretty useless if that's the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Was average BUT was always going to be tough against City, had no service or support Think he will do much better against West Ham and everyone will love him again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
