lentherussian 86 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 With all the talk of torres and drogba playing together or not being able to play together got me thinking of the strike partnership of the past and which one was my favourite. I decided that the 1997/98 season of zola/hughes was probably mine. Both examples of complete unselfishness. Think they might of only scored 24 between them in all comps but loved the fact that even if they'd have a 95 percent chance of scoring if someone next to them had a 96 percent chance they'd always square. One had all the invention and the other had the strength. Both accomplished in all technical sides aswel. Think at the time and the wat chels were progressing hughes was a very shrewd signing. Whats yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Torres + Shevchenko.it was a sensible thread ,, treat it with respectHeskey and Carew :giggle:my comment to Henriques also applies to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 JFH - Eidur. Their understanding of each other's game was unreal. Shame that Zola, Hughes and Vialli (in their prime) were before my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Vialli ,,Zola and Hughes were all slightly past their prime when they came to us . I didn't support Chelsea when Osgood played butthe best partnership Chelsea had were two schoolboys Bridges and Greaves ...their international U16 was phenomenal and mostgames were shown live on tv, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- 25 - 167 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 JFH & Eider easily had the best understanding of any strike partnership I've seen for Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 liked Eidur ,,,but that miss against Scumpool ,,,grrrrrrrrrr ....Jimmy was a class finisher but never thought he was a team player in theway Vialli and Zola were. He did score some great individual goals ,,, perfect hat trick .. left ,, right and a header Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lentherussian 86 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 this is mark hughes best game for cfc. i was 14 and nearly in tears after the first half. Hughes dragged us back into it and vialli won it. 2nd goal prime example of hughes tenacity .liked Eidur ,,,but that miss against Scumpool ,,,grrrrrrrrrr ....Jimmy was a class finisher but never thought he was a team player in theway Vialli and Zola were. He did score some great individual goals ,,, perfect hat trick .. left ,, right and a headergotta agree with hasselbaink. As good as he was i used think he was so lazy at times and it used to wind me up a treat. Hopefully his biggest contribution is to come as weve all read hes the reason Lukaku supports us.
