lovejoy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 he'll offer more than cisse does, im pretty sure of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 he'll offer more than cisse does, im pretty sure of that. Not in terms of goals he won't. He's got no strikers instinct whatsoever. I think because he's been out for a while people forget how bad he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I haven't seen anything from him to suggest that he is a striker. I'd include pre-NUFC 'highlights 'in this too. He looks busy and athletic and potentially good at creating space around the box/chances for others: kind of Craig Bellamy without the finishing...maybe that will come.

Stottie Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 He missed some real sitters last year, but new league etc. etc. Strikers especially need confidence. His record will have loads of sub appearances, so the games vs. goals stat will be a tad unfair to him. Luuk de Jong has recovered from his stint in Germany and with us for PSV, so it might click again for Riviere, though maybe not at Prem level. What is for certain is that with 3 points from 7 games and few chances created, we cannot afford a striker who missing clear openings like Riviere did last year. We need players that can produce right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tend to agree but ultimately as a striker you are there to score goals and that is what they are judged on. Even in his current form I'd back Cisse over Rivière all day if the ball fell to either of them in the box. Can't really work out why we signed him as he was hardly prolific in France. Another Graham Carr masterstroke by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Aye let's alienate him, and not give him a chance under new management/coaching/system, just in case we lose Mitrovic and/or Cisse, and might need a striker to score the odd goal or two. Fuck him. Give soldiers Riviere wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 At least deserves a bit of a chance under new coaching setup, there are things he does really well like link up and hold up play, works hard too, just needs a break I think.

KaKa Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 keep completely forgetting he's here! looking forward to having him back alongside some of our front 4 now. He'll win us over if he gets a chance. I'd have him ahead of Cisse to step in for Mitrovic for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I really don't think he's that bad, he's probably a better option off the bench than Cisse at the moment. Not going to write him off completely based on the limited chances he's had in a shit team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Really think he's going to be great this season. Like fuck you do Completely serious! He's a facilitator. Like a point guard. Put him out there with Mitro and Perez and it's going to be fucking nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The guy will look good alongside the likes of Perez, Mitro, Wijnaldum and Sissoko if he needs to step in for any of the forward players. He's athletic and mobile and genuinely works hard up front. Who was he playing with last season anyway? I just remember him being up front alone with the rest of the team miles behind him. It was an absolute disgrace, and an unfortunate position to put a new striker in. The kind of thing that makes me wonder why anyone could ever see anything in Alan Pardew man. Laughable.
