Dr Gloom 21924 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 He needs someone to play off. Looks isolated and has had to feed off scraps the first two games. Carroll probably would have been ideal in hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carroll probably would have been ideal in hindsight. Well he couldnt play off Demba...I think he's got good movement and plays well when our midfield plays well. Some of the goals last season in the last minute were down to him making the same runs as hed made dozens of times during the game where the ball hadnt been put in the right place for him. He's had piss poor service in the Man City game, he was so isolated he ended up trying to play with his back to goal which just isnt his game at all. He seemed not to know where to make his runs on Saturday as there was a 15 stone stationary object next to him confusing the issue. So thats where you get zero shots on target from. If I was Pardew I'd bring Demba back because it would allow us to play shite and sometimes get something from a tight game. The midfield is unable atm to create the accurate service Cisse needs to thrive. Edited August 28, 2013 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It's just not happening for him at the moment, but as we saw two seasons ago, give him service and he's lethal. As much as I'm frustrated at how he struggles to stay onside and is sometimes weak as piss on the ball, I struggle to believe his purple patch was a one off.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 He looked shit hot early doors. Bad run of form or do we need a new number nine? I'm not advocating getting rid btw. It's obvious we need more strikers. We can't afford to lose him. He needs competition. But he'd maybe better as a second or third choice striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7083 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Still dining out on those goals, needs to get over himself or a kick up the arse or an intelligent strike partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's pretty evident we need a proper centre forward to many games now we're crosses are going in and we have nobody to get on the end of them. As for Cisse I think it would suit his game better playing just behind a centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonasjuice 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Goals: 8 in 36 PL last year 0 in 8 PL this year Use in General Play: Non-existent Not like he's some young prospect either, snap the hand off anyone foolish enough to bid around what we paid for him before it's too late (as if it needs to be said, with the caveat that we'd buy a replacement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 He has gone backwards. Although it's difficult to tell why. One thing I do know though, he really needs to work out offside. Or someone needs to coach him. We purposely watched him along the line last night and he has no concept of offside. He ball watches and pays no attention whatsoever to where the back four are. It's like he's completely oblivious to it. Scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I think Pardew playing him out right just to accommodate Ba, was a big mistake by him. before that Cisse was banging them in from all angles, really feel that shot his confidence. For me, it's up to Pardew to restore that confidence. Edited October 31, 2013 by Ausman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Really should have out that one on one away yesterday. He's a passenger when he isn't scoring goals. And for a season and a bit he's barely scored any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Fucked around all last season by the manager. Playing in a team that couldn't create sweet FA Confidence shot to pieces. Having to 2nd guess Ben Arfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to 2nd guess Ben Arfa He played up front on his own from Janaury onwards last season...before that there was no room for him and Ba in the same side and Pardew should have made a decision. Correct about service to him, its woeful and was last season when his goals kept us in the division. Correct, he's snatching at everything. He's not alone in that; they need drilling properly in training. The whole side play like strangers at times. As for being a passenger, I was at Cardiff and again he didnt score but his willingness to make runs and work hard were great. He contributed a lot to that game iyam. He was then dropped, see also Anita post Hull City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 He worked hard last night. I don't know if it showed on tv but he was desperate to try and get involved and always looked willing to make runs and look for the ball. His confidence is clearly shot and he desperately needs to score a few goals. I think we probably look better as a team even when he doesn't look so good himself but how do we then fit in Remy, HBA & Gouffran as well?

donaldstott 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I think the fundamental problem is that he's a very ordinary footballer. I believe he went on an outstanding run of luck when he joined. He scored ridiculous goals, not predatory goals. To me, he's never looked like a striker who will get goals regularly over an extended period. Offside is not the only problem, he can't hold the ball up, or pass the ball 10 yards, or control the ball with any kind of regularity. Not ideal when you are trying to can't play with one up.
