Just wondered people's thoughts on the imminent return of Cisse.... Nobody is doubting his ability and he is the type of striker we have been crying out for at QPR for years but how do we go about bringing him back?
Our performances and matches recenty have come from 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formations with Zamora up top and support from midfield, Taarabt has played very well with room to drift while a 3 of Barton, Samba and Derry/Buzz have held the shape in the middle. A return for Djibril would potentially require some shoe horning and a return to the 442 Hughes generally favours. This means dropping one of Derry/Buzz and putting Barton in the middle or Mackie as before, neither of which I think deserves to be dropped.
I think from what we have seen from him before Sland red and the great moments of link up between him Zamora and sometimes Tarbs too we should get him back in the team just think it won't be as simple as slotting him straight back in. Suppose this is one of those 'nice problems' managers have..... |  |

Can't see him getting back in the side TBH. We don't have the midfield to play 442 and in any case he has proven to be another liability which we simply can't afford in our current situation. |  | | |

Leave him on the bench when back currently! The current system has delivered 3 great wins and another good performance in adversity.
He played on the wing for Lazio, so could sub for Mackie/Adel and he was basically a lone striker vs Villa so could probably sub for Zamora too. |  | | |

I would like to think that we would continue to start just as we started last night.
Dropping Buzz after a good performance and stunning strike would be like a poke in the eye with a rusty stick and the current system without Cisse is working well.
Same starters and Cisse and Derry on the bench, thank you and Boothroyd out of the 18. |  |

He'll get an important goal at scum.

For me we definitely need Cisse and Zamora up front together.
Zamora can't do it up front alone, we need someone to help him in his hold up play.
That's it !! |  | | |

That system wasn't working, his 2nd red turned into a blessing in disguise.
Use him as an impact sub, when Bobby's run his race. |  |

Cisse is the only player who is likely to score a goal against the better teams, he should be in the starting 11.
Too hard for Zamora to start alone upfront, he needs help !! | | | |

To have Cisse up front we would need to play 442, and when we play 442 we get overrun in midfield, the better teams will take us apart there. | | | |

I must've dreamt them 2 against Arsenal, while that dope was starting his ban then!  | |

Agreed. I'd be staggered if Hughes plays 4 4 2 against Spurs. |  | | |

I think Cisse' should start against Spurs,if hes fit.Zamora is doing fantastic for us,and cant remember last time we have had 2 such quality strikers to choose from.But Cisse'e speed,willingness to run channels,skill and shooting would cause Ledley King,or that old Kiwi or whoever that have as a CB partnership more problems than Zamora imo.Also,Zamora looked a little tired last night.Would be nervous about playing with 2 up front against them with their midfield |  | | |

On the bench.
Same 11 to start rest of the season. | | | |

You pick him up front with Zamora obviously. He's a superb player and the best striker we have. Leave him on the bench indeed  |  | | |
| The Cisse jigsaw piece on 10:40 - Apr 12 with 1291 views | WestbourneR |
Sorry Northern I totally disagree with that. At the moment the system is more important we HAVE to stick with 5 in midfield and 1 up front. We were horrible when we went 442, disjointed and overrun.
Cisse is fantastic but keeping it tight in midfield is more far important in these crucial games.
The only spot for Cisse at the moment is as a sub for Zamora or replacement for Mackie on the right wing. |  |

Surprised at you Clive, that system is working for us at the moment, and if he can't fit into it, leave him on the bench indeed. Deserves to lose his spot as well. | |

Mackie looked like he was injured last night anyway so that might make the decision for us but I don't see how you can leave a player that good out of the team. | | | |

Its a fair point Clive around his quality - but as I said earlier with the strength of the Spurs midfield I'd be very surprised if Hughes plays 4 4 2 and if Mackie is fit his discipline and work rate will be important to double up on either Bale or Lennon.
Cisse's pace and ability to carve out opportunities from nothing makes him so valuable.
Nice problem for Hughes to have. | | | |

what like liverpool and arsenal?
the guy has to earn his place and more importantly needs to understand that we need to play 11 a side for 90 mins |  |

Mack was probably just knackered , some shift he put in. | |

I understand why people are saying leave him out but I feel we really need him. Two of his three goals have been in games that we have gained 4 points from and the one at Bolton was a farcical game due to Hills goal not given.
He must start v Spurs and any remaining games he's not suspended from!
The manager, the coaches, the players must all work together to ensure it works for the club. |  | | |

You don't think his constant brain farts and red cards are a reason then?
We really have almost zero margin for error if we want to stay up now, do we trust Cisse to not do his Balotelli impression again? | | | |
| The Cisse jigsaw piece on 11:17 - Apr 12 with 1196 views | QPunkR |
It's a tough one and a question I posed to my mates at 2-0 up last night - who the hell do you drop from that team to bring him in?? Most potent goal threat at the Club but every single player (with the exception of Onuoha, for me) played out of their socks. Again.
And that's not even taking into consideration the fact that we've looked so much better in this formation.. |  |
