Papiss Cisse 'not worried' about form

Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse has insisted that he is unconcerned by his goal drought this season.

The 26-year-old scored 13 goals in 14 games for the Magpies last season, but he is yet to find the target this term.

"I am still confident. I will open my scoring very soon and everything will be normal. It has become more difficult because defenders know what I can do since last January, so they pay more attention on me, but that opens doors for my good friend Demba Ba," he told a Senegalese newspaper.

"The most important thing is to take three points. If we win and I do not score I am happy. To score myself is important but winning is more important for Newcastle."

Cisse joined the club from Freiburg in January.
