Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

The destruction of Cisse started with him being put on the right, and then was completed with him being deployed in a 4-4-2.

 

It will be a miracle if he ever recovers. The poster boy for the term 'Pardewed'.

Laughable post. He played & scored in a 4-4-2 at least 5 times when he first came. Including his debut and the Chelsea game. He played up top by himself maybe 7 games total.

 

That's double the amount of games he played on the wing at least.

 

The only NUFC player in the first team who hasn't been in decent form for 2 years for any period of time.

Cisse has looked most convincing in a 4-3-3 with someone behind him playing through balls, and with two wide forwards supporting.

 

Once he was originally moved out wide and started struggling, we had to go back to that 4-3-3 setup, to start getting him back to where he originally was, instead we have all but abandoned that for the most part.

Cisse was no 'system player' when he joined. He wasn't relying on brilliant service either. We played 4-4-2 loads and he scored goals. 

 

 

It was 7 games last season when he was moved to RW. He didn't manage a goal prior up front.

 

What's his excuse for having the same amount of league goals as Shola Ameobi?

I thought prior to his injury Cisse was looking a lot sharper and had the team itself been in better form and creating chances, he would have been scoring. His movement, his work rate, his touch all seemed to be rejuvenated but the team itself was way below standard and not getting enough service.

 

Previously when the team had been in decent form and Cisse was being giving a chance here and there, he was all out of sorts, I don't think that was the case end of this season when he came back in the side.

Scored the same number of league goals as Shola Ameobi last season. By any metric of a PL striker, he has got to take the blame for the shiteness.

 

He's had 2 good seasons in top divisions in his life.

 

So using last season to compare him with Shola is your idea of a metric? By that logic if Shola had played instead of Cisse in that first season he'd have scored goals for fun as well.

He was as shit as Shola last season. Thats it. It's unacceptable.

 

We could do with a better striker certainly, but at the moment we don't have one. Unless you count Remy who can't wait to fuck off as soon as the first decent offer comes in.

Remy's already left, we have no claims over that man, and will receive nought for whatever move he makes next. He's used us till he got cleared of his case, and he's onto far better things now.

Think it's not over for Papisse if we can somehow create a more positive and free-moving team. If Pardew can somehow work out how to utilise Cabella and De Jong there's a chance. And hopefully his mood will be better after a summer off and a fresh start.

If we sort out out wide then he'll do better. If Cabella's as good a passer as they say he is then Papiss will benefit from that too.

 

We just need to quicken up our attacks for him, he's often making a move to beat the trap (due to his lack of athleticism) and we need to capitalise on that much better than we have. I think if he gets a good run in the team then he'll do alright, he needs a run of games with the right set up behind him. Not ideal, of course, but I don't see us bringing in a better striker, unfortunately.

I agree with this mostly. I think the main problem we are going to have is that we don't have a striker who can lead the line. If we are going to use  someone like Cisse or Riviere as a single striker, then we really will need to change the way we play. Pardew tried to do that last year but really had no idea how to go about it.

Possibly De Jong joining in attacks more might give defenders something else to thing about. The hold-up problem still exists obviously, although really we should change our style to mitigate that, as you say.

 

de Jong's an interesting one, I think he's going to be a good fit for the league. He doesn't seem like he's going to provide much in the way of creativity but will make space with his movement and plays lots of interchanges and quick passes. It will be interesting, like, my gut feeling is that we'll get a good balance out of these players, even if, individually, they're not as good as the ones they've replaced.

Not sure if Papiss is the answer but if we only get Riviere he might be our only choice. Hope these new players are able to give him the chances he needs.

 

Cisse and Gouffran would be decent back-ups. We're in need of someone that has real quality, though, and another back up.

Despite what some journos are saying i cant see another signing on top of the expected Rivierre. Maybe we are working on a loan deal for someone as well?

They've probably put all their eggs in one basket and hope Remy comes back, or something daft like that. We need somebody that's going to cost at least 10 million so it's highly likely it won't happen.
