Papiss Cisse

Ba and Cisse won't score more than 10-12 goals each next season for sure.

12 goals each would be a good return for them, that said I expect it to be closer to 15 as Newcastle will improve over Summer.
 
I would certainly prefer it if at least one of them showed any attacking qualities against City. Apart from fighting against each other who is going to have a go from totally unsettled position some 35 yards away from goal.

And to think I argued with mate before their game when he said Cisse was going to be exposed.

Knowing life they will score tons each in the first half of next season, only to disapear later on. Unless they play us at home in that second half that is.
 
From what I've seen of Cisse it looks as if he's no flash in the pan. He finishes chances made by others, makes and scores his own chances and makes them for others too.
 
I forgot how well he played in the reverse fixture too.

'Exposed' because he didn't score against the best defence in the league. Guess he'll just have to settle for a goal a game.

I think we can compare those two games as well.

Believe me I don't judge striker solely by goals return. I appreciate different things, many of which Cisse has in abundance. But this performance was as terrible at times as I would expect from a player whom I hold in high esteem.

In fact I couldn't believe it was him he was that bad anywhere near penalty box / just outside. Demba Ba being even more of a selfish prick didn't help matters as well. I can't stand him smiling after fecking up some simplest of things.

It may be grumpy of me, cause we needed you to get some result but you yourselves were supposed to fight for UCL, and that's scary. Or rather would be, if I were you.
 
It looks like he's got wind aiding the ball. Such a powerful header.

My team mate growing up scored a goal like that once. He's also generally known as one of the better, if not the best, headers in Iceland.
