Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

Personally I thought Cisse looked almost like a complete striker when he first signed. His hold up play, first touch and ability to bring people into the game and keep things moving had me distinctly wanting the ball given to him rather than Ba (who at the time wasn't playing well and seemed to slow everything down when he got the ball). He's not shown that at all since that time though unfortunately.

 

The way I see him now is that if he's not scoring, he's not contributing anything. He still generally has absolutely no composure when given time to think as well, he's shown that even this season. I was actually surprised he stuck that second goal in against Chelsea.

Cisse under the king is only as good as the service he receives.  Which has been massively lacking these last few seasons.

 

 

 

I think I'd reword that to:

Key is, they've got to stop booting up to him, you might as well just kick as far as the corner flag, at least you'll get yourself a few seconds breather and get shape again. He doesen't even try for headers any more :lol:

 

Dude's knee is shot though, he looks 2-3 steps slower and much less nimble than when he first arrived.

A lot's being made of this. But I don't see what it has to do with him missing all those sitters like he did last season.

 

I'm glad you've pointed out the part where I mentioned last season or its relative nature to hoofing it up to him. You can't expect someone to be part of the link-up play when you play them long balls and he's clearly not got the bring the ball down, hold ball and play it back or wide in his locker.

Todays Star is sticking with that bullshit about City wanting him, citing the fact we are demanding £35m as the reason Pellegrini has to look elsewhere :lol:
