JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 1 hour ago, Nigel said: Had one of his best games yesterday but still not good enough for what we want this season. We need our full backs to push on and be far more offensive as we will have a lot more of the ball...unfortunately Cissokho will never be that player! He is definitely good enough to be a part of the squad at the very least though, been horrible sometimes but have always had a soft spot for him, a trier and a strong mofo!

I find Hutton and cissokho to be very offensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Credit where credit is due, he played well but that doesn't change the fact he's been poor for 90% of his time with us. Still, if he continues like yesterday then I'd keep him around as back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Agreed that he's been very poor in his time here, but that was in the Premier League. He looked better defensively against Wednesday/Roterhham than Amavi did against Luton. He should remain first choice - with Amavi getting the midweek games for now - until Amavi gets back to his best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - atm he looks more solid defensively than Amavi, but Amavi should improve in that regard as he gets more game time. Think Cissokho could be useful as a sub when we are are on top and looking to close out games etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thought he was garbage against Scannell second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Still switches off, and cannot defend crosses where he loses flight of ball and man Edited August 16, 2016 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thought he played well again. Blocked most crosses. Times he didn't, it was often because they had the extra man which forced him inside and unable to get out to it in time. Mostl mistakes are him being a victim of the system at the moment IMO 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Lucky to not get sent off today. Was also blowing out his arse after 70mins. The sooner Amavi is back up to speed the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Sooner or later he (we) will get punished for his constant wrestling and shirt pulling when defending at set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Very lucky not to concede a penalty. Hopefully Amavi will be ready after international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Agreed with the shirt pulling, but he's unquestionably been one of our better players this season. Camara is supposedly a bit of a tricky speed demon. Cissokho defended him with ease. If this was Amavi, again, people would be raving about how good he is IMO.

Demitri_C Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Cissokho is decent at this level. Question is why the hell did we cancel Bennett deal if ge cant evdn get kn bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine went to watch this nephew at a children's football tourno today in Aston Park(ran by community coach at Villa) and Cissokho was there on his own accord to present trophy to winning team and my mate had a chat with Cissokho for a while. Aly is meant to be friendly, humble guy and spoke with everyone who approached him. Edited August 28, 2016 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
