Lotus Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Lovely interview. Comes across as a top bloke. Thought he might’ve mentioned Demba…..they fall out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 31 goals in 36 games between Ba & Cisse from Cisse making his debut v Villa and Ba being sold. They only scored in the same game twice. Was crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour was that Ba tried his best to create chances for Cisse to score during the first six months, and after that being jealous for Cisses success and switched to complete twat mode and stopped helping Cisse in all aspects. Cisses goals started to dry up since then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I remember Ba still getting chances but he wasn't taking them, whereas everything Cisse touched turned to goals. Quite frustrating at the time because if BA hadn't starting being a twat, that Ba, Cisse, HBA front 3 could've been immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Has there ever been a better player at getting done for offside? Had an incredible ability to be offside in situations where he never should have been. Still loved him and his big smile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think ba would've been still playing to this day had he not snapped his leg in Turkey. Most african players play a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he got done a lot but he also beat the trap a ton too. Cissé got done in situations where he just switched off and obviously forgot what was going on. He made up for it though by slamming in the best screamers for half a season that anyone has ever done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 To this day I cannot believe I was in the away end at Stamford Bridge when he scored that goal and everything else that happened that crazy day.

Still think it's probably the best brace I've ever seen. The first one gets overlooked because it wasn't as spectacular as the second but the first is still a worldie. Both unbelievable goals to pull out of the same night edit: Maybe Robert's 2 shitpingers vs Spurs possibly? It's close Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit Ba followed by Andy Carrolls first stint with is still my fav strikers post Shearer. We do have to take into considerations that Pardew might have been the problem, and that it might not have been any problem between the two of them. If you are to unsettle a player just buy a new one in their position and move them out of their fav position, if that dont work try to swap positions on the pitch a few times. Cisse first 6 months with us was fantastic, remember thinking how can someone that hits the ball so uncleanly score this many goals. The fantastic goal against Chelsea I do believe he is aiming for the top left corner and it goes in the top right corner because it slides of his foot(the first goal though was mint and perfectly excecuted). But after the 6 months he was a very frustrated player to watch sometimes imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Loved having Cisse and Ba here, probably one of my favourite pairings. Other than the short time Les and Shearer had together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I don't remember Ba being particularly dickish but I do recall talk that he made it pretty clear he wanted to play central? I would put a lot of the blame on Pardew not being good enough to manage the situation. Whether it be getting him to buy in or reaching a compromise, maybe mixing up their positions in-game but that would've taken genuine management.
