r0cafella Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I still like Cisse tbh. Hope he can get back to his best. You should know better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah, but just imagine if Cisse did find his feet again. Seriously our coaching staff.. what do they do? I know confidence is a hard thing to coach but the offsides, lol... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I do still love Cisse. The sad thing is, him, Hatem and Remy looked dangerous as a front 3. Cisse's movement frees up a lot of space for others in that system, even if he isn't scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That's the only reason he still has everyone's patience. If we had signed him in summer 2012 and had only witnessed his performances from the last two seasons he wouldn't have any sympathy whatsoever. We would all love that Cisse back, but 2 years is a long time to be in such poor/average form. We can't go into the season with him as first choice, clutching at straws hoping the 11/12 Cisse returns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has to work hard an earn his place back in the team, which is why its so important we bring in a couple of quality strikers for the competition. Something else I've been meaning to ask aswell do we think Gouffran will be able to do a job up front rather than shoehorned out wide? After all that is his natural position (striker), if we really do fail to sign a striker or two then maybe this is the best option going forward, he certainly looks like he wouldn't be shy of a few goals if regularly played through the middle.

Cisse's movement frees up a lot of space for others in that system, even if he isn't scoring. He works hard for the team. Just wish that confidence would come back in front of goal. Needs a couple going in off his arse or elbow just to get the ball rolling.. Absolutely can't be relied on to lead us though. Which is not going to help his confidence. Seems to be something only Cisse can fix for himself..our coaches aren't likely to help him or anyone else for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 One footed poacher who isn't quick, can't hold the ball up or dribble particularly well. His movement is good but that's not enough for me, we should be aiming for someone who's a better all around player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on saying this but the service he has received over the last couple of seasons has been abysmal. This is true, but Remy and Demba Ba managed to score goals throughout a lot of these periods where the Cisse wasn't firing. I did stick up for Cisse a lot at first and I was saying what you were saying, but he has missed a bucketload of easy chances. It's not simply down to poor service, when we signed him he was scoring with ridiculous finishes, he's not even finishing off chances that you would expect a lower league striker to finish most of the time now.

He really is a poacher. He wasn't scoring those spectacular goals anywhere else. And hasn't scored any for damn near 2 years. How many assist has he made over his time here?

He's an out and out goal scorer with little else to his game. If he was full of confidence and the service was good, he would bang em in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Jong and Siemens seem more like goal scorers than providers, and we've sold one of the best crossers we had left at the club in Debuchy. I really do think Cisse looks a different player when the crosses are coming in from wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the efforts at bringing new players in will come to nothing if he's our lead striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I do think that barring any major fitness issues, we will see a resurgence from Cisse this season. I reckon he will get 8-10 goals assuming the transfers of Cabella etc go ahead as we expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Cisse just needs people around him that can commit defenders and allow him time and space to move into goal scoring positions. Ben Arfa and Remy getting on the ball and buzzing around him would have been brilliant. However, Cisse receiving the ball early, near the half way line is a disaster!

Willow Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Can't help but be excited when a new player joins us, even though he hasn't signed yet.. 2 strikers, a RB and I'll admit to being chuffed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
