Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

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.

In the modern game a striker who can only finish chances is simply not very good

 

He is if others can create him enough chances. Cisse´s link up play aint so bad, his touch today was.

Bit of a worry when you can't really argue that Shola was kept on ahead of him. Doesn't look to have any match sharpness and awareness at all.

Especially if there are no crosses coming in. 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'.

Massively over hyped on here, penny finally dropping though. Shame it takes people so fucking long mind.

 

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.

Gerd Muller at his peak would have struggled for goals in this set-up.

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.

Yep. 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.

Ameobi starting for us is the biggest joke ever...says everything about the people running this club.

 

Cisse came off coz he was injured...not because ameobi was playing better than him imo.

Totally agree. 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.
