I am a huge Cisse admirer, although I admit that a lot of that comes from the heart, rather than the head.
He was poor yesterday, and I think that in a game where we are under a lot of pressure, if you're a pacy striker coming on later in the game, you should be running around, putting there defenders under pressure. He was a bit too lethargic, and as you say, displayed poor control.
The main two points that annoyed me were:
A) Yelling at Sissoko - I know he's said that's how he deals, but I don't know. It's not really what the fans want to see, and just smacks of immaturity and selfishness.
B) He only passed to Garcia when he was ABSOLUTELY sure that there was no chance he could score himself. This much was obvious. When he was out wide, he could have easily slotted Garcia in, but chose instead to cut in and see if he could have a go himself. Now I appreciate that's he's had an awful summer with all the speculation and that he must be incredibly eager to impress - but we really could have done with a third goal. The team should always come first.
