Papiss Cissé


Recommended Posts

He was grinning away when he came on. We're a goal down at home to Sunderland in a crucial relegation game and he's smiling like he's just heard a good joke.

 

It actually makes me feel more confident, it feels like he's less likely to choke in front of goal like quite a few others are doing at the moment. We've hardly seen a decent strike in the last few games.

I'd start him (if he's fit enough) in our remaining games. He's probably still our most likely goal scorer even though he's not the player he once was. He needs someone like Mitro up with him though as he doesn't hold the ball up when he's up front on his own.

 

Hopefully we'll see him smile due to scoring goals.

Sat on the bench for 60 odd minutes and still can't remember to remove his ring before coming on as sub. It's petty but it shows a lack of focus tbh. I hope I'm just making a meal out of nothing and he can knock 3 or 4 goals between now and the end of the season to help keep us up.

He needs to play but only if Mitro plays alongside him or he'll just waste time getting offside all the time. Mitro can play the knockdowns and layoff for him and hopefully he puts it in. He's our 'Defoe'.

He has better movement than anyone else in our team for sure, he's a proper striker in that sense.

 

Aye. Noticed that straight away. Him being up front helps Mitro as he'll distract defenders at the very least.

 

Absolutely, at the moment Mitro is hampered by the fact that every match both centre backs attack him for 90 minutes. Cisse being up there with him would confuse/distract them and open up space for Mitro. I think the two could work well together, they'd be our funniest looking strike pairing ever though :lol:

 

That is on the basis that Cisse plays up front and not "behind" Mitro or on the wing as we all know that means Cisse will be nowhere near Mitro.

Ba played wide though when Cisse was here? Is Cisse clever enough at timing his runs to try and feed off Mitrovic's knock ons, etc?

Have despised this guy for so long. A complete fraud. Does nothing for the team upfront. Ultimately hurts the team so much because you can't build play off of him.

 

A complete disaster starting him and then compounding the error by playing that useless non entity Gini behind him.

Nearly scored a winner when it was 2-2, that header from a cross which was behind him was class. Even the movement for the ball which rebounded from the keeper is what separates him from the rest. I would look more at the service which was hopeless. Wijnaldum, Townsend and Sissoko produced too little too late.
