At first I was unimpressed when we ended with him as a winger instead of Remy but really quite like Goofy now in between Remy and HBA. He's wasted out wide.

 

I went to the Vila game and was really impressed with him when he came on. He caused villa big problems with his size, speed, control, ability to hold the ball up and impressive work rate. Every time i've seen him lately he's looked really good. Great goal yesterday and seems to be getting better and better.

 

He's a big lad hard to knock off the ball and far more physically suited to the Premiership than the weaker Cisse is. He's also a lot quicker than Cisse too, hard working and seems to know how to take his chances better than Cisse.

 

I'd try starting him ahead of Cisse. Cisse just does look like he'd lost it and couldn't hit a barn door in the Premiership at the moment.

That's the problem for Pardew now though. Gouffran has done really well, but Cisse has finally got his goal.

 

To drop him after that would be a killer for his fragile as fuck confidence.

Doesn't look that big to me, although he does shield the ball well I agree. I Would like to see if he could hold the ball up playing through the middle certainly.

He is a lot stronger than I thought when arrived, he's worked hard and done really well for us.

 

Not sure I would drop Cisse now he's scored though, just the feeling of heading the ball in the net must have given him a big boost.

It is fine to say that, but at some point Gouffran will have to wonder what he must do to get on the pitch. He's played well at pretty much every opportunity this season, and contributed hard work and goals last season as well.

Hats off to him - he's surprised me. :thup:

 

Ginola vs Man United for me.

Yip, thought Ginola v man United as well.

 

Shearer v Chelsea was way further out than that and he also backed Dessailly a good 10 yeards back as well.

 

For a turn yer man and shoot, Shola Vs Chelsea was pretty damn lovely. :smug:

Funnily enough both the Ginola ManU and Shola Chelsea goals came to mind for me.

Was an absolutely beautiful strike whatever.

He is a strong lad for his size, like. Knows how to use his body too.

 

Far better than Cisse out of the box, that's not even really up for debate.

Vs. Hull - Gouffran's link up play with Remy was 1,000x better than Cisse's and something we haven't seen for ages. Remy was leaving the ball and bombing forward and Gouffran was trying to pick him out first time in on goal. I really think we could be a much better team utilizing Gouffran's intelligence and general all-around play vs. that of Cisse's. Gouff's better pace would have had him getting to balls Cisse has missed out on in the box as well.

I'm starting to wonder if Pardew had ANY input in the Cisse signing. He offers so little apart from shooting on sight. Would Pardew really have looked at him and thought he could use him as a central point of attack?

I highly doubt it dude. He certainly isn't a 4-4-2 man and never in a million years was he the right partner for Ba, which even the Senegalese coach knew.

 

That's also true!

 

We really do have an odd recruitment policy..

I don't think anyone could have predicted how shocking he is in every department apart from shooting on sight tbh.

Has to play, really. We'll not have much of the ball against Everton so when we do it needs to stick and Cisse is mega schizo at the moment, will bring a difficult ball down nicely, but then lose simple balls into him the next couple of times. We need relaibility and Gouf brings that, got an eye for goal atm too.
