Lotus 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. That's also true! We really do have an odd recruitment policy..

Kanj 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. 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 don't think anyone could have predicted how shocking he is in every department apart from shooting on sight tbh. 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...
Dr Colossus Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Just seen his goal again. Reminiscent of Ginola v Man Utd and Shearer v Chelsea, very nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Shearer was further out with less of an angle and up against Marcel Desailly. 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...

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? 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...

Not disgraced at all. done alright deserves to keep his place. He seemed to be the only one that gave a shit last night. Tiote and Anita tried but had no one to release the ball to as Gouffy was doing Santons job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Played well. Showed pace and the odd bit of skill. Was unlucky not to score. Should be starting ahead of Cisse from now on and I'd rather see him through the middle than Remy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 You look at our side and you simply have to question some of the lads desire. Not Gouff however, puts in a great shift. I thought a couple of his left foot deliveries where decent tbh but i'd love to see him start in the middle. I can kinda see Pardew's logic with Remy up top. I thought we would come and play deep and compact, looking to spring Remy on the counter attack with balls over the top. Never went like that and we ended up hooking it to his head which got denied ever time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Easily our best player yesterday, worked his bollocks off all game. Graet to see him finally get 90 minutes as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Probably our most consistent player this year. Never going to hit the heights of any inform Remy or Ben Arfa but he never has a terrible game or anything. Shame he hit the post, don't think he did a great deal wrong with that chance.

Guest hatem garrincha Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Out wide he adds to the creativity problem. Agreed. Played (very well) as second RB all first half last night . But it's Pardew choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
