he played well against a poor wba team, i have seen enough of him to know that he will never fit into rafa's style of football.

I know I just responded to a similar point from the Madman in the Bolton thread with these same comments below but I thought them worth repeating here in the main Cisse thread because I think his above quoted argument needs to be put into perspective...
-----------------------
For the record, while Cisse may have 5 more goals than Crouch to date, what really matters is the context of those goals...
For instance, 4 of Cisse's 17 goals came against TNS and FBK Kaunas in the CL qualifiers--not exactly stiff competition. He scored 2 more against Anderlecht, the weakest team in our CL group by a country mile. Another 2 of his goals were penalties (Birmingham and Newcastle)--well taken to be sure but the odds were on him scoring. And, his FA Cup goal against Birmingham--Liverpool's 7th on the night--was the very definition of a soft goal. Several others of his have also added to the tally late on, when the match was largely already won. A picture seems to be emerging...
(To be fair, Cisse's goals did win us the Supercup against CSKA Moscow. His free kick was also the difference in our home win over Blackburn and he did create Robbie's goal (one of 3 assists this season) and score one of his own against WBA.)
Compare this to Crouch's goals. Of the 12 he's scored this season (never mind the Dubious Goals Committee's deliberations) several have been vital. He won us the game against Wigan (H), WBA (H) and, of course, against Man U in the FA Cup (incidently, the last time the Mancs dropped points in all competitions). He's also chipped in with important goals at important times: his 2 against Birmingham in the FA Cup, ended the game as a contest and he scored the all-important opening goals against Everton (A) and Newcastle (A). Plus, he's got five assists to go with his 12 goals.
And, in the category of match-winning goals, both Cisse and Crouch are tied with 4 this season.
So my (admittedly long-winded) point is that it is not simply a matter of number of goals scored, but rather a matter of the importance of the goals to the match in question. In this respect, Crouch edges it for me.
And, this is in addition to the larger point--made by numerous knowledgeable posters on this forum--that Crouch's all-round game offers so much more to the team than Cisse's. So, count the goals all you want but Crouch is still a better Liverpool player than Cisse is by a good long way.

Secondly we are in need of a possible two strikers in the summer in my opinion, room needs to be made and Cisse along with Morientes will probably need to make way.
Neither of them have really set the prem alight and it's time for Rafa to get ruthless.
I did say Morientes could still become a quality signing, but he needs a lot more time me thinks to adapt, I could see him becoming a Sheringham type of player.
But whatever Rafa has in store I'd say Cisse's time is up all baring a good offer.

It's not the fact that he can't play wide right that annoys people, it's the simple fact that he can't play football that annoys people. What annoys me even more is the fact we paid £14million for that joke when for the same price you could get two strikers who are much better or one striker like Jermain Defoe.
Cisse's first touch is poor, his ball control is poor, his intelligence is about as good as George Bush's and his vision is poor!
I really want to see Cisse do well and become a good player for us but he's ©rap and can't get the basics right so he won't be.
0asis wrote:Defoe maybe over-rated somewhat but at least he can find the net on more occasions than not and at least he shows some intelligence in his game. People who defend Cisse always bring up his auxerre days and yes whilst he was indeed a good player there it doesn't automatically mean he's gonna be good in the English league. When he came to Liverpool the slate was wiped clean, just like every other player that is bought by us.
The fact is Cisse can't handle it in the English league and he too is somewhat over-rated because when we strongly linked with him he was described as a good player with a great techincal gift and a twenty goals a season man, whilst he'ss cored 15 this season, he has shown no gift in the techincal area of his game, and hell I'd even say DJ Campbell's a better player than Cisse.
