Mole_Toonfan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Seems to be a Cisse, run the line type striker. Not what we need really. I presume you mean run in behind? because Cisse don't really do that at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you mean run in behind? because Cisse don't really do that at all. I think thats what Cisse is as a striker, he has no hold up play, he isnt a battering ram and hes not pacy.

Ronaldo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Cisse's a poacher who thrives primarily on mostly low crosses in open play. He doesn't run the line at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't really run in behind either though.... or at least not effectively, he's a poacher and doesn't really do any of these things. If this lad is capable of running in behind defences it would be an asset IMO. Although i haven't seen 1 second of him so i couldn't say personally.

Ronaldo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The term has perhaps expanded, but a player whose value almost completely lies in taking chances in the area created by others. He's scored a couple of stunners, accepted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 He was good in build ups as well which is what I think Mick was getting at. I remember being impressed with how good his touch was at the time. No idea what's happened since then like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 doesn't " taking chances in the area created by others" account for the majority of goals ? for me he's a good all round forward. his build up play is more erratic than crap (not helped last season by no support or movement). the goals he doesn't score are ones where he takes his man on which he doesn't normally need to do due to getting into positions where it's best to hit early.

Mick Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The best I can think of as a poacher at Newcastle was Alan Gowling, he was lifting as a player. He did nothing but steal into the box and get on the end of another players work but contributed nothing to our game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Nah - Cole had a lot more to his game but there's no doubt he was lethal as a poacher too. All round goalscorer tbh. Outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
