Lordofthebling Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Have I missed something? Why is he suddenly "out of favour?". He was brilliant in midfield for a large part last season? A lot of the forum see him as our holding midfielder, so why doesn't Keef? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC-Tom Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Because he's clueless ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 i think cisse is another one of the players who is over-rated by city fans, I got shouted down pre-season when I said millen didn't rate him, Anyway he's been on international duty with Mali so that could be why he's not been around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Have I missed something? Why is he suddenly "out of favour?". He was brilliant in midfield for a large part last season? A lot of the forum see him as our holding midfielder, so why doesn't Keef? Maybe because it would mean dropping Skuse or Elliott, which Keef doesn't seem keen on?

Carey 6 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 There were rumours about him coming back to pre season overweight/unfit but surely he should be okay now, i'd have in midfield over skusey any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie fox Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 It does make me wonder what a new manager would make of our squad (if/when) they came in... Would Hunt/Stewart/Cisse get a fair crack of the whip then? Clean slate and all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 But I just can't understand dropping a player who has bags of experience at a time / situation like we are in, in a position he's actually good at. Hunt I can understand being out of favour, as he was simply rubbish - but Cisse actually did a job for Keef. I like Skuse as the utility man, but Cisse is a better player in the middle of the park surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie fox Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Agreed - especially with a game like tonights. I would stick him in with Kilkenny without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Doesn't make a great deal of sense on surface for sure. With everyone fit and available with no off field issues, he'd be in most people's XI surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InCider Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Doesn't make a great deal of sense on surface for sure. With everyone fit and available with no off field issues, he'd be in most people's XI surely? He'd probably start for me if his attitude and fitness were right. Didn't he come back for pre-season with Rick Waller's body though? Perhaps that's why he's fallen out of favour. It would send the wrong message out to everyone else in the squad that a lack of professionalism is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 If he has come back in poor shape then fair enough I guess, it just baffles me why he isn't in the mix. An ex Premier League footballer, with the prospect of playing bit part for a rookie manager in a relegation dogfight - what is there not to be motivated about and keep in shape?!

Mullen seems to have had issues with all three of Coppell's signings at different times. If Cisse has come back in no fit shape after the summer then the manager was absolutely right to make an example if him. What threw a slight curve ball in was his international call up. Now Mali, with all due respect, aren't blessed with a plethora of options, but presumably he is capable of playing yet not being considered, for whatever reason, by the manager. I think it is difficult to read the situation, but I wonder whether certain players - namely Coppell's big three, lack respect for an inexperienced manager which was thrust upon them.
