He's not even looking at where he's writing.
Cheers, so do you think he's here to replace Enrique or just provide support and be a back up?
I think he's here to potentially replace him. He's got everything Rodgers seems to be intent on going for, pace, good movement, he's also built like an ox. Rodgers already said he wasn't convinced by Enrique at the start of last season, but he won him over (to a degree, it seems). I think he's definitely here to push for a place, and a move.
Is his passing, possession game better than Enrique's? I'd say Cissokho's physical attributes edges Enrique's (which is saying a lot!), but I'm not sure about his technical ability.
Well this is it, I'd say the same, but Enrique's decisiveness in the final third is poor, Cissokho has shown good overlapping play at times with a calmer edge when picking out opponents and putting a ball into the danger area. He does look gangly and a bit of a mess sometimes though and Enrique definitely has the edge in terms of touch etc.
I really don't get the criticism of Enrique on here sometimes, he was involved in a fair amount of our very best build up and goals last season... I certainly don't think Left back was the main priority for us this window.... nor goaly for that matter...
I've seen this lad play in the flesh at Valencia a few times, good player, good signing.
That said I wouldn't be so sure he displaces Enrique.
Agree with that. From what (little) I've seen of him, Cissokho fares better in the final third. Has that gangliness about his play which can translate to clumsy at times, but he, like Enrique, is tailor-made for the English game.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Enrique playing that left midfield role with Cissokho at leftback in some matches.
It's not really scathing criticism though Molby, I rate him. I think when he played further forward it gave him his confidence back and he was alot more clinical. You watch him from left back though and he's hit and miss going forward, he makes the wrong decision more often than not. He's a good player though, defensively he's fairly sound and he uses his upper body strength well. It gives us more options anyway.
Heh, you know I don't care much for attacking fullbacks, I'm just saying why he's different to Enrique, I think Enrique is sound, he defends well, unlike our overrated right back.
You forgot ball playing centre backs & false number nines.
Here's my take -
worst case scenario - nuri sahin #2
best case scenario - he regains the form of his Lyon days where he was considered one of the best young LBs in Europe and we sign him for 5 million next summer.
It's a good move. Low risk, high reward.

For someone who parrots on a daily basis about how football and football supporters are still existing "in the dark ages", the above post is completely hilarious.
Two separate things really, in terms of analysing performance football still is only coming out of the dark ages.
Tactics are essentially about fashion. They're just a fad. You can win with virtually any tactics, and when you do everyone will follow you.
We're essentially trying to replicate Barcelona because we think it's the tactics that make them what they are. Unfortunately it's the players that make them what they are.
We're just the fat bird who thinks dressing like Jennifer Lawrence makes us as attractive as her. But we just don't have the figure for it.
Both statements are true.
If tactics aren't a way of improving the odds of you winning a game, what are they ?
@Rosco
But there's more logic to playing possession based football than any other type of tactic.
Simply because it tires the opposition, so even it doesn't produce a goal in the manner you plan for, it's more likely to produce a goal by so other means & you're less likely to concede cos the opposition have the ball less.
For someone who uses statistics & backs their usage so much it baffles me that you don't see the logic in using the system that statistically speaking is much more likely to get you better results.

i reckon rosco's ultimate football team would just be a billion pound in cash sitting on the field. everything else is an illusion.
If there were stats that backed it up I would see the logic in it.
So show me some statistical evidence
