Papiss Cissé - What has happened?

The guy was knocking goals in for fun at the beginning and now he cant play football.

Clearly lacking in confidence. But OMG hes forgot how to pass, shoot and position himself.

Hes completely useless atm.

I think he needs dropped for a couple of games.

 

Like I said in the match thread I think I have finally lost patience with him going beyond dropping him for a few games. He could never play football and only contributed when he was putting chances away. Now he can't do that and we would be as well playing with 10 men

 

This. Totally.

 

After that second half its clear AGAIN that we have a serious problem.

Cisse has to be dropped now that is clear. We cant carry him anymore.

BUT What is scary is when we go down them french players do not want to know.

WE HAD OUR BEST 11 OUT THERE AND WE LOST 3-2 TO HULL CITY..... AT HOME..... WHEN LEADING 2-1.....

WHAT THE ****!

 

Thats the important bit and sums this **** performance up. Expect Taylor and Jonas slotting back in for a Jobs for the Boys session and us getting dealt with the next two games.

 

Yeah, it may do him good to start on the bench for a few games. We just don't have sub to come on a change the game. Cissé and HBA were useless today

 

He was found our a year ago, very overrated player IMO

 

Agree he needs to be dropped, shocker again.

 

Needs dropped. Only further highlights the boards incompetence for not buying the striker we all know we needed. Then you think how nice it would have been to have Ince sitting there when HBA was clearly getting short change and having one of his poor games. our summer business was a joke. Two players is all that was needed.

Mind it wouldn't have sorted out our poor defending.

 

us paying for his flight was worth it then.

tbf i did want us to sign him at the time, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

 

Should never concede 3 goals at home, regardless.

 

He probably does need a break, over 900 minutes without a goal, but, its not as if he's missing chances.

More than anything, he needs a goal.

I'd start him against Leeds, and if he is dropped wait until Everton.

 

I would give him one last chance against Leeds and if he is still without a goal afterwards then he's benched.

 

at least he wasn't offside today...

 

Morale might be low for the Leeds game after today's defeat.

Throwing a two goal lead away can't inspire confidence, it's quite possible we could slip up.

I'm going to the game and hoping it'll be played like a proper Cup tie, it'll be nice to get our hands on something after all this time.

 

kept us up and play him against Leeds............T o be fair we create **** all for him.

 

Cisse looks poor and uninterested.

If he's angling for a move, he'll never attract any attention from other clubs with non-performances like yesterday.

Needs to be dropped. Play Remy up top and Gouffran on the left.

 

Although I'd be reluctant to take Remy from the left as he has looked so effective, I'd probably do this as Gouffran will just get chucked round like a rag doll up top.

 

I really am perplexed as to why Papiss has rapidly become a shadow of his former self.
He used to have a big smile on his face and now cuts a rather forlorn figure and seems completely out of touch with his team mates.
There's a big dilemma here... do you drop him and risk further damage to his confidence or do you persist to play him?
I'd be tempted to take him out of the firing line personally and move Remy or Gouff centrally.
Perplexing times like I said.

 

I think because he and Ba were both capable of scoring wonder goals defenders stood off one to cover the other and gave space. Now defenders know he's either off side or they need to block his sight of goal and he's nullified. No other threats so they can concentrate on him.
