No doubt we struggle to create chances, but at the same time, a top striker can turn half chances into something, and not lose the ball every damn time it comes to him. Eto'os goal vs Arsenal is a good example. If it was Torres in that exact same position, no way in hell we would score there.

We're going to sign a top striker in the summer, this we can all agree on. But what if Lukaku doesn't want to be 2nd choice like Courtois? he has enjoyed success at other clubs - and you know a player like Costa or whoever we sign will start most of the games anyway. Given how he talks about himself, it would not surprise me if he'd rather keep starting games at Everton, than coming on in the 80th minute and playing cup games for Chelsea.

The annoying thing is we didn't even get beat by some Ibra or Cavani magic, but stupid mistakes. Now they will counter hard with Lavezzi, Lucas and Cavani, our chances are pretty bleak.

He should join Monaco now. Only a matter of time before Courtois takes his place.

Keep the pressure on, there's another goal or 2 in this for us.

HAZAAAAAARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

The problem with Schurrle upfront is we're going to be kicking every ball to Ivanovic, and this could disrupt our attack a bit.

Tbf, this is an impressive bus by Utd.

So you're saying, away from home we don't set-up to play on the counter, especially against better teams? mhmmmm

Score past Sirigu then

No matter what, just freaking score.

Another game, another goal. There's so much space in behind, in these la liga games though lol.

Disappointing, we had 35 minutes or so to pile the pressure on and at least get a draw - and our 2 best chances came from a lucky deflection and a stupid back pass. Our attack is just so hopeless when we don't have space to counter.

He had 2 or 3 games earlier this year when he hit some nice crosses, but overall he's terrible at it. Definitely not the attacking fullback you need in games like these. It was disgusting to see him get raped by Bolasie though, small matter of Lavezzi next lol.

Inevitable.

When i saw the lineup, i thought Lampard would play higher up the pitch, but looks like 4-3-3 out there, and it freaking sucks.

About damn time.

I like the look of this. 3 of our 4 best goalscorers are out there, would have been perfect with Eto'o though.

Tottenham can't score, and can't stop other teams from scoring. It's really a joke.

We're actually challenging for the title, right up there from start to the end, and no falling away in November. Failure? ridiculous.

Benzema is verrry inconsistent. He can be alright today, and very bad the next. He's lucky to play for a team like Real Madrid, where he gets many chances to make up for his misses. Real will be so scary with a proper top striker.

He played behind Rooney against West Ham. But vs City, they used 4-3-3 so he was wide most of the time.

"He recovers the ball but in a very clean way, not with fouls in dangerous positions" Unlike Ramires.

This. No matter how big the bus, chances will still be created, but you need people in the right positions to convert. It's why Lamps should always play against these teams, and Schurrle instead of Willian/Oscar as he is the bigger goal threat.

Nah it's simple, they were getting destroyed by Barca before Mourinho got there and changed it (despite the humiliation he got in his first clasico) And now he's gone and they're back to normal losing ways.
