Good Riddance to Cisse
I’ve got to start by saying how delighted I was to hear that Rafa has reaffirmed his commitment to the club by signing a new deal which will keep him at Anfield until 2010. Despite all the big name players currently being linked with us, we will not make a more important signing then this one for many a year.
So much has been achieved with him at the helm that, it’s sometimes hard to believe that he’s only been here two years. (New Deal for Rafa) click here.
A Champions League, a Super Cup and an FA Cup have all been won and we also reached the final of the World Club Championship and the Carling Cup. However, perhaps equally if not even more important is the fact that the team has been making huge progress and now must be considered a serious challenger for the Premiership.
Such has been his success, that other “big name” clubs such Real Madrid have been casting envious eyes in our direction but any doubts we may have had of retaining the services of the real “Special One”, have now been laid to rest and I’m sure that all Red’s fans worldwide will have rejoiced at the news. I have great faith in Rafa and believe that ultimately the Rafalution will see the return of our Holy Grail, the League Title, back to its rightful Camelot, the Anfield trophy room. The players too, seem to have great belief in Benitez and I’m sure they will also be delighted at the news …….well almost all of them.
This brings back to my old friend Mr Cisse. In my blog last week titled, “Cisse and Moro: Time to take out the Trash!” (which can be found in the archive on the top right of the page), sparked an interesting debate in the comments section. Some people agreed with my sometimes harsh assessment of both players and some people strongly disagreed, which is great and I very much welcome all opinions and really appreciate the fact that people have taken the time to post their views.
In the case of Morientes, who I referred to as shit throughout that blog, I have come to regret my comments and agree that I was overly harsh. On the field, I maintain that his performances for the club have on the whole been poor and not nearly good enough by Liverpool standards. However, off the field his conduct throughout his recent transfer to Valencia have reminded me what a great and honourable professional he is and I really should have given him some credit for that. I wish him all the very best in his future career.
In the case of Cisse, it appears I wasn’t nearly harsh enough. It seems the cornish pasty headed one, just can’t keep his mouth shut and seems determined to talk his way out the Anfield exit. I made some points in that blog about why I felt Cisse was a brainless useless tit but despite the fact that Cisse at the time had expressed a desire to fulfil his dream of playing for “Marseille”, some people in the comments section still expressed the view that he deserved another chance. Their main reason for this opinion seems to come down to the fact that Cisse scored 19 goals while being played “out of position”. Now while agree that everyone is entitled their opinion but I am also entitled to mine and I must say, in the words of William Shakespeare, “that’s a load of bollocks!”
For a start, I mentioned in the last blog how a lot of his 19 goals came against much inferior opposition but my real problem is this whole “out of position” argument. Who is it that decides what his best position for the team is? The answer is, his position is what the manager says it is. Rafa had watched this guy day in day out in training and decided that his best position was not down the middle but out wide, so couldn’t the fact that he finished the season with 19 goals be equally shown as proof that Rafa was right and had in fact found his best position?
I believe that given the strengths and weaknesses of Cisse’s game, it was a very clever ploy by Rafa to play him wide and that it is his most effective position. Although you may get away with it more on the continent, Premiership defences have long since cottoned on to the old fast forward down the middle routine and can defend against it all day, they simply step up and let the linesman do the rest. Even the cleverest of pacy attackers struggle to get even one opportunity per game in the Premiership where they can use their pace to get clear of the opposing defence and Cisse can in no way be regarded as one of the cleverest of pacy attackers.
What he gains from his lightening pace, he loses from his lack of footballing intelligence and on the occasions when he has been played down the middle he was constantly making his runs too soon and constantly been caught offside. His lack of a footballing brain was very much in evidence on the very rare occasions when he did manage to stay onside and got a run on the keeper. In similar positions the Henry’s and Owen’s of this world will go around and lift the ball over the onrushing keeper but Cisse try’s to knock the poor bastard out by blasting the ball straight in his face. This is why I feel Rafa played him wide, in that position he could receive a diagonal pass which would give him the chance to make his run from a deeper position and use his pace to stretch the opponents defence.
Regardless of the pro’s and con’s of Cisse’s game it is his failure to keep his mouth shut that has ensured we’ve seen the last of him in a Red shirt. It’s amazing how he managed to keep remarkably quiet when there were Cup Final places up for grabs but as soon as the season ended it seems he couldn’t wait to run his mouth to the nearest French journalist. (Cisse: 'Benitez doesn't want me') click here.
A completely over-rated player such as this clown should be on his knee’s giving thanks to this club for giving him the opportunity to play here and he should also take a moment to look at his winners medals and give thanks to Rafa Benitez for finding him a place in his team. Instead of this he has been running his mouth and making disrespectful comments about our manager and club to the French press. I suppose we should expect no more from a pig but a grunt, I’m sure a quiet word with Rafa about his desire to return to France would have achieved the same goal. However his recent words can surely leave no-one in any doubt that he is the ignorant disrespectful bastard I always suspected him to be and in his case I was right and it really is time to take out the trash and good riddance!
Finally, I was pleased to see that my, “Miracle of Istanbul” part one and part two blogs were well received here on the KopBlog site. However on a personal note, it was drawn to my attention during the week that they were also apparently well received by another very well known Liverpool site, so much so that portions of particularly part two were thinly disguised in a rewrite and used in a similar piece by them. When it comes to Liverpool sites, in the whole scheme of things we here at KopBlog hardly register when compared to the big boy’s so perhaps it was felt that this would go un-noticed. Although I accept the fact that it’s the sincerest form of flattery, a word of acknowledgement for our efforts would have been welcome.
