mark walters would have done the same job but with some step overs, i know i have been abit harsh with cissie, but in my defence i haven't rated him since before he got injured
i would love to see him turn it around by the end of the season and show everybody wrong, agreed he could only do that if he was in his prefered position but even out wide he lacks some of the basics to play at the top, vision, skill, a knowledge of the off side rule, striking of the ball on target.
steve gerrard did a great captains job by making sure cissie got a big well done for his part in the goal and tv didn't show any boll@cking for not sliding a pass to kewell when he had the chance,
face it he is anelka, all the attribute and a terrible attitude
Anelka is in a different league to Cisse.
Far better touch and awareness.
We played really well yesterday and the win was so comfortable Rafa was able to bring of Stevie for tomorrow.
Cisse was his usual self imo, awful touch and no awareness at all.
The one in the second half when he shot when Kewell was unmarked in the centre was disgraceful....i would of dragged him off there and then, the team should always come first.
I do think he would contribute more if he was played in his natural position, playing him on the right is doing no-one any favours.
Next time Cisse plays can somebody please make a note of all the times his 1st touch is poor. To me its been fine recently and yes some balls are mis controlled but nowhere near to the extent people say. Again I think people over emphasise whenever he mis controls a pass while dont do the same for others.
As for comparisons to Anelka. Look at many clubs Anelka has been to in his short career and the amount of disruption his called. Cisse has done nothing like that!!!
