BottledDog Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hats off to him - he's surprised me. 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.

Funnily enough both the Ginola ManU and Shola Chelsea goals came to mind for me. Was an absolutely beautiful strike whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 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. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Ronaldo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I don't think its strength so much in comparison to Cisse and Gouffran. Its more about intelligence, technique etc etc.... his ability to create a yard for himself due to great close control is in another world compared to Cisse who struggles to escape his markers when in possession. Although one thing is for sure no matter how strong they actually are Gouffran definitely asserts himself more, i don't necessarily think Cisse is as weak as it all seems but he doesn't really seem to assert himself properly which goes a long way in winning physical battles.

Kanj Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Gouffran seems to be getting his shots off better as well, he always seemed a split second too late which ended up with a block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? he's still using him there now, you would have thought he'd had plenty of opportunity to give Gouffran a go if he didn't rate Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The difference between rating someone and choosing them for your style of football. Neither Gouffran nor Cisse are the type of striker we need to get the best out of the rest of the side, in fairness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Finally saw Goof's goal, it was a cracker! Not sure what you guys are arguing about at the moment, and don't feel the need to join in, but that's a quality strike by any standard. Hope for many more like that from this dude.

Belfast Mags Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thought Gouff showed the most drive tonight, looked like he was trying (which he always has done tbf). Not disgraced at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
