Cisse

[vish]

is b******s.

 

I've made a point of watching him receive the ball since this nonsense started, and he usually has very good touch when receiving the ball. He might be a bit lightweight.. but so are all our other strikers + Garcia...

 

Tired of it being used as another stick to beat him with. That is all.

youre wrong

 

his 1st touch is generally woeful

[Tyler]

Internet myth number 345

[allez les rouges]

he couldnt trap a dead rat in a phone box

[Bailo]

There are a few people in our squad with better touches, but most are on a par with Cisse. He really isn't that bad.

[WillG]

He looks terrible, he sounds awful . . . he'll go a long way!

Can't trap a bag of cement

2nd touch is a tackle

I found his first touch strange sometimes its great other times its woefull. Sometimes he link up play is even quite good I think he has promise shame we are not after promise but as it stand a "PROPER" run in his prefered position would be good.

[Red_Rob]

He still hasn't been given an extended run in the side as a striker. Considering the ammount of leeway an underperforming Morientes is shown, Cisse should be given a run of four or five games up front to prove himself.

why split hairs?

he's just s**** and that is that.

[Tones]

Sorry, but its true. Hes a poor quality footballer.

Aye we need to be more direct and have a bit of pace to scare other ppls defense.

[Guest Scot]

he can trap a ball farther than I can kick it out of my hands [/sean]

Old style red ones or new open plan versions?

But our other s*** strikers look really bad at the mo'. Maybe he'll be less s***, or something.

[Guest neuklon]

Watched him a lot at Auxerre and he looked a class act, almost unrecognisable from our winger. Under a different manager and tactics I could imagne hm being more than useful.

 

In Crouch and Moro we have two players that did well in France but both had a midfield playing to their strengths.

Cisse but yeah I agree.

To be fair (and I'm not a fan) he's one of 4 options we currently have, and has been given the least opportunities of the 4. None are scoring so I don't see why we don't stick him up front (or with Robbie) and give him a go.

 

I don't seem to remember him being given a run there since his broken leg, while Moro and Crouch (neither of whom could score in a brothel right now) get runs. Bizarre to say the least.

good point, i think he should have the benefit of the doubt.

 

to be fair to him, when the ball has been played to him whilst on teh right, his first touch has been ok. its his one trick after that which is the problem.

 

however with his back to goal, he never moves of the ball. consequently everytime the ball comes to him he has a hairy great ape up his @rse which is enough for anyone to lose control of the ball.

 

if he watched fowler a little more and moved more so that he can come of his man and receive the ball without being under pressure he would be 10 times a better player.

[IgPig]

He's inconsistent when controlling the ball. Sometimes he can kills it dead, other times it bounces off him. Its luck rather than technique with him.

 

His second touch, the one where he actually has to think about what he is going to do with ball, is woeful.

What the hell kind of freaky rats do you get in your town?

The kind that are particular about which style of phone box they die in

[Fagan]

I think Cisse is rubbish.

 

but i have to say, its pretty bad that moro, crouch and fowler continue to misfire every single game and yet cisse doesnt get a chance to start a game or play back to back games yet rafa continues to put us through witnessing the painful efforts of moro and crouch.

[Stevie H]

he wasn't rubbish when we signed him. he had tons of potential. that he's become such a crap player with us must be an indictment of either a) cissé himself / his attitude or b) our coaching staff / techniques not getting the best out of him.
