Flip Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Been shite for two games. Gouff should be ahead based on these two games, yet Gouff has played like 45mins of football in total.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hes just not that good He's good at finishing off chances... That's the difference between when he joined and now. When he joined he had support regularly with Ben Arfa, Cabaye and Ba playing a lot closer to him than anyone is now. If you are not providing him with that sort of service its really a waste of time.

Jordan Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Baffled by the starting XI today. Was shite on monday, even though he had limited service he wasnt good enough with what he had. Gouffran is miles ahead of him as a player atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Was he even in the oppositions box today? Should be benched. He's offering nothing, Gouffran would offer more until Cisse finds out how to be a footballer again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezeri Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Should have sold him during the pre-season...he'll be worth nothing at the end of the season in the current form! He does look like he doesn't give a shit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 In the modern game a striker who can only finish chances is simply not very good Especially if there are no crosses coming in. I can barely recall one from out wide that a striker could have attacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely recall one from out wide that a striker could have attacked. Only Debuchy provided a wide, crossing outlet. Absolutely criminal considering we started 2 strikers, one of whom is a 'big lad'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people think some other strikers going to come in and start banging in goals without any service they are in for a rude awakening when he's dropped. Remy might be able to pull goals out of thin air, he's a canny dribbler, but a new striker isn't going to magically transform Pardew's turgid football into slick passing heaven.

sugoinufc Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 still rate him highly, he is world class in the box - but without any service he can´t do it on his own. hopefully remy will be able to connect cisse/attack with our midfield. Think people is too hard on cisse. We all know he is a limited forward...when the service is there he is lethal in the box - without it average! He is not our problem imo.

Don't think he's massively over-hyped like. Think he's rightly called a good finisher who will more often than not get a goal if you give him a few chances (albeit he did have a poor season last time out). Not forgetting that if you keep feeding him and get his confidence up he can and will score from just about anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people don't seem to grasp that it's not even solely about service, it's also about things like getting men in the box to create space for a striker. We get fewer men into the box regularly than any top flight team I've seen in years. Your service to the striker could be fantastic but if he's marked by the entire back four, he's unlikely to be able to get near it, never mind put it away.
