hostile_statue 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I actually think it was the right choice, a chance for our main man to hit the ground and start scoring. His confidence is shot to shit but i think a fire will be lit in his stomach second half. Fancy him to score today still. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I have little confidence in Ba's penalty taking. Now I have even less in Cisse's. Should have subbed Shola on for it Ben Arfa would have been a better shout, but I'd say he'd be the type to send the odd shocker from trying to do too much. Totally agree about Ba's penalty taking, he does one of those slow run ups that I hate. I think Cabaye was great at penalties and took them for Lille. But we do seem to lack a specialist, and Pards seems to just let them get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14585 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Did Cisse just grab the ball first?...didn't Ben Arfa go over and cause an unseemly ruck?....was Gutierrez subscribing to the "all the captain does is carry the ball and calls the toss up" theory of on-pitch leadership?...

hostile_statue 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It's obviously not the right choice if he's missed it though is it... Letting someone take it just to get them on the scoresheet reeks of arrogance and contempt for the opposition. Hope Pardew is putting it up them right now to not let that foolish decision cost us the points. Bit simplistic. Cissé's a great finisher. Everybody misses sometimes.

ADP 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Cabaye's looked sharp edit: meant to put Cabaye's shot. Was referring to the chance he squandered when he put his boot through it and blazed a good opportunity when he could have placed it better. Delivery has been better than last few games like.

A real chance to get both our strikers firing together is nothing to do with arrogance. Totally dont get that mindset at all. Hindshight is a wonderful thing, had Cisse scored everyone would have been saying it was a smart move. These things happen. Still fancy Cisse to score second half.

OTF 6147 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Cabaye's looked sharp You talking about his appearance there? ....Certainly not his play. Has offered up one or two intersting passes, the rest have been out of sync or poor. Trying too hard at the top of the box to send in a belter, so far that's resulted in a misskick and a one into the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 There was a massive argument about the iphone and they were studying the profit to earnings ratio when Cisse nicked the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8989 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Right choice for CIsse to take it and everyone would be agreeing if he hadn't missed. Fact is, he's a good striker in need of a goal, a penalty is a great opportunity to get him that goal. Similarly, if Jonas was on a hat-trick (I know, I know) you'd let him take a penalty to get his third. As long as you weren't drawing or losing, obviously.

Still fancy Cisse to score second half. A penalty is a golden chance to score, unless the game is in the bag you put your best penalty taker up there to maximize your chance of scoring. It's fucking simple. I know the lads will have been thinking they were doing Cisse a favour there by sending him up to take it, but then look what has happened? Can't have helped his confidence and Norwich will be buoyed by being only one goal down. Pardew will have roasted them for it rightfully so.

ADP 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Problem with the situation of Cisse (or any goal drought striker) being chosen to take a penalty to get them up and running is you run the risk of them missing it, and their lack of goals becoming a massive 'thing'. Worry that if Cisse doesnt score in second half he'll suffer even more with confidence after the game having missed a penalty. ...cue the hatrick with the left, right, and head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6147 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) On Cisse I think his general play is suffering from complacency resulting from his instantaneous success in the league. Way too early to worry but have to hope that he's giving his all in training, making his runs in games etc. if that's the case the goals will come. Smashing powerful shot on target from HBA parried by Ruddy... Taylor had a good chance to score from the resulting corner.

OTF 6147 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Just finished work, how are we looking so far? Good in patches. Ben Arfa slicing through them. Ba with a quality finish. Had a penalty wasted it - Cisse missed horribly. Defensively we've looked likely to concede a number of times but somehow still have a clean sheet. Harper doing well and Williamson heavily involved at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
