Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Not surprised at all. this is again a testament to our lack of creativity. If you feed quality/decent strikers, they are bound to put a couple away. that's basic rule of law of averages. And if we don't improve on our creativity, I won't be surprised if Costa flops. hope that won't be the case.Are you basically saying that Besiktas have more creativiy than us? Because I don't think our problem is creativity. We have a lot of creative players such as Hazard and Oscar. I think our problem is that we lack in terms of attacking in general. We do have players who can do special things but I think its our attacking system that is causing problems.BTW, I fucking love Ba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 About the goal, gotta say I've never seen a more Ba-esquqe goal in my life. It is not a Ba goal if he doesn't fall over and the ball just rolls in. iseah100 and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a clear difference between having creative players and being creative. football isn't played on paper. I don't even think it's debatable that we are not a creative team tbh.we have been relying on individual brilliance for spark rather than a collective team effort as source of creativity for a long time and the only season in recent memory where you could say we played expansive,creative football was 09/10.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Tbh Demba was one of my favorite players here when we signed him, mainly because of the whole strawberry syrup thing hahaha and the fact he scored that beauty vs City. Good to see him doing well albeit for a lesser club against a lesser team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Demba is a decent player, nothing new here. We all know it's an entirely different scenario at a top club like CFC. Glad to see he's doing well though. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while its not an excuse for Torres, its no wonder the guy has been below par with the kind of service he's getting...The positives now are that we've taken a step forward in fixing our issues in central midfield, and we now have a striker(s) that are not 100% dependent on a quality pass to create chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see he's doing well though.I don't think it was really case of us being a better club...he (and for that matter, Torres) never suited our style of play.And tbh, we didn't really have a style of play. We probably did have one during the first few months of the season, but Mourinho sacrificed it to allow for more solidity at the back, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every forward needs quality service; even the best around don't create the bulk of their own chances/goals. The problem with Torres is that he's a fundamentally poor footballer in almost every aspect. The 'lack of service excuse' doesn't wash with him.
