For those that blame others for Cisse's lack service

[loftlag]

He was given a master class lesson in how to make space to recieve the ball by Suares .
Embarressingly lazy

[Marshy]

But to be fair, they are two different type of players. Suarez is one who can take on people, Cisse isn't. Cisse needs the ball in the box. And we just don't have the team to provide that. That is why I have been insisting that any striker we sign needs to be a Suarez-type one - one who can play outside the box.

Hate to say this about Rat face, but his movement off the ball, and with the ball, puts Cisse's in the shade.

To compare Cisse with Suarez is like comparing a pebble with an uncut diamond. The sooner that waste of space with the dumb haircut puts on his sarong and gets out of our club the better..

So before the start of the season that promised so much, did anyone else but me bet a bit on him to be in the top four PL scorers? Anyone? You can lie and say Yes just to make me feel better

Sorry, I didn't!

Yes, it's not that hard though because Cisse doesn't actually move, just stands there when we don't have the ball and doesn't put the defenders under any pressure whatsoever, and when we do have it makes no runs to the channels to help the team out and is not prepared to put any sort of graft in to get in any dangerous positions.

He is another one that is just waiting for this season to finish, not really bothered by the end result, and will then disappear a lot richer than when he came here.

Just saw Jamie Redknapp say on Sky point out that Cisse couldn't be bothered to run about.

I put him in my dream team at the start of the season but quickly took him out after about 5 games when I saw how pony he was, if that helps?

Harry might offload him soon, fingers crossed.

Totally agree I think he's one of the laziest players I've seen play for us

[vblockranger]

rat face is world class, Cisse isnt but thinks he is

[willis1980]

what jamie said on sky is pretty telling, all the comments abouts cisses attitude etc will pretty much mirror harrys take on his performances

[Joon]

Cisse may not be world class, there are certainly better strikers out there (such as Suarez), but nonetheless Cisse is a solid finisher which makes him the best striker on our team.

Mackie simply does not have Cisse's finishing ability, never will. Taarabt has more overall footballing talent than Cisse perhaps, but at this point he also does not have Cisse's level of finishing ability; if he is played as a striker, he may have the potential to develop it. Zamora is still out and still no news of his return. Lastly, it is not guaranteed that a newly signed striker would have Cisse's finishing ability; we can't afford Suarez or someone of his proven ability, many will not want to come to our club while it is in danger of relegation, so we'll probably end up with semi-proven talent.

Until at least two of the above circumstances resolve themselves, we still need Cisse, and badly so. Cisse's lack of Suarez-like ability does not invalidate our need for better service from attacking midfield to Cisse (and whichever striker we are playing up front). With better service Cisse will score more, it is simple fact. Providing him that service with our current team, as many have pointed out, will be no easy feat.
