One thing about cisse, for all his negatives, he always tries to be involved and rarely goes hiding, even when things are going wrong.

 

 

 

the exact opposite is true 99% of the time.

I disagree.

 

People give out about him, because he plays the wrong ball, he gets in the way, he misses chances etc.

 

But you rarely have a game where he is just invisible and not involved in some shape or form

No, not yet. Don't one of the MODS have to start one?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

only one of the sticky ones. You could, if you could be bothered to sort the votes at the end

i can only assume you have not been to many of the games he has played in this season.

There's the flaw in your plan right there

id agree with most of your ratings

 

but alonso was definatly and 8 as well, but id only give Crouch a 5, didnt do anything of any notice all game

 

oh yeah, and Cisse played really well, its funny how when he plays really well ,we dont have any threads about him, but if the poor f***** misplaces more than 5 passes, thats it, the lynch mob to be out

 

Agreed on all fronts.

Cisse had a good game yesterday not because of his attitude but because of how he was used

 

it was almost counter attacking play from liverpool

 

 

Long balls over the top ala Owen and Heskey and bang Cisse scores 1 sets up 1 and nearly scores another

dont understand what that means...hasnt he been used on the right frequently this season? and i think those goals just happened to be scored off counter attacking moves. we were by no means contended to just sit back behind and hit them on the break everytime (might have been for the second half).

 

i thought he showed great awareness for the 1st goal and a good touch for the 2nd, qualities that were absent or somewhat absent in his previous performances.

[Rimbeux]

It looked like we'd scouted west brom pretty well, as that was a specific tactic, pushing Cisse right up on the left sided man. Incidentally, Arsenal did exactly the same to Villa

I just meant he was given balls to run onto - as if we were playing counter attack

Reina 6

Finnan 8 (He's quality, and just gets better and better)

Xabi 8

Momo 7

Kewell 5 (gone off the boil again...seems to get lost sometimes)

Cisse 7 (best game since injury, just wish every other time he didn't wander around like he doesn't care)

Fowler 7 (still great movement - but did still look knackered)

Crouch 5 (poor for me)

 

Garcia 5

 

Overall I thought we were distinctly average against one of the poorer sides. Even the commentators over here kept mentioning how West Brom kept giving us the ball back....

i'm quite happy for us to continue being so distinctly average. we're beating teams comfortably at the moment without even getting out of second gear, which is f***ing fantastic.

We saw a great strike yeah, but not much else in that game either. I'm a Kewell fan, but not when he's peripheral in the games - he needs to be more involved. For me...two quiet games.
