Cisse would kill it as CF in a strictly passing team play style where he just needs to be on end of chances to bury them first time.

How can you have a strictly passing team play style of your striker doesn't fit that type of system? He doesn't contribute to it?

 

I always think of Bony - he was the complete striker for a system like that.  He could join with the fancy stuff. Give them someone to play off.  Force teams back with pace and strength. 

 

Michael Owen never played for a slick passing side regularly because he couldn't contribute.

He's such a massive piece of the puzzle if we're going to change our fortunes on the pitch and actually develop some kind of coherent gameplan. I've gone from being certain he was leaving - and not really arsed, such was my apathy - to really, really hoping he stays. It's been such a promising transfer window and, imo, a pretty promising start on the field; Sissoko leaving now would be such a suckerpunch.

Where's he gonna play when he comes back. Easy to forget his great impact when he first joined was playing as a #10.

 

                          Mitrovic

 

Perez                  Sissoko                Thauvin

 

                  Anita            Wijnaldum

 

Might be decent. Or perhaps just have a solid 4-3-3 with the same personnel.

We have to play 3 in midfield no matter what IMO, the team as a whole is a lot more compact and fluid when we play with 3 instead of a 2 and then a 1 further forward as for what ever reason it doesn't really work to me.

 

Know that i want Thauvin and Perez on the wings regardless and i'm not really fussed where as i think they'll do damage with Mitrovic regardless.

4-4-2, bitches.

 

That front 6 could easily be shifted into 3 or 4 different formations and still do well imo. De Jong, Aarons, Tiote (to a lesser extent) and Cisse could also be brought in as and when.
