Demba Ba

We should stop buying strikers!

[Ollie 4,400]

Ok he had a Torres like game but all strikers do. When he does this another 5 or 6 games in succession like today, we can talk.

is he taking training from torres? it was as if he was playing like shit on purpose. look at his first 1 on 1 of the match. i seriously got the feeling he fluffed it on purpose. this guy is turning out to be a total disappointment, more than torres, because to be honest, i for one knew exactly the shit we were gonna get from torres but i really expected BA to get us thru all the shit. instead he's giving such performances. would have been way better if we had just called LUKAKU back from his loan.

We Should Stop playing with strikers....lol...

[Hamilton 2,120]

Should have scored at least one, out of those two open chances in first half..

Really tought Rafa was going to change him for Torres.

Chelsea and strikers...

actually a WORSE love story than Twilight

[The Skipper 20,593]

Are you guys serious? This guy offers SO much more than Torres. His link up play and movement was superb today, he gave Mata & Hazard the platform and space to do what they did today. You seriously don't get that with Torres. Torres wouldn't have got into those positions to begin with.

Okay, he was off with his finishing today. But you seriously can't compare ONE bad game (finishing wise) compared to TWO years of hell with Torres.

Surely you guys are more intelligent than that?

Demba and Nando are like Batman and Robin of the missed chances, especially if they're both wearing their masks Just kidding, there are games when nothing works for you, I'm sure he'll be better next time out.

We should banish the word 'striker' from Chelsea and just call them all false 9's, even though they're not, but it might help!

Ba - passes to teamates, opens space for players, holds up the ball, lays it off and makes runs into the box, has a reasonable first touch.

Torres - passes to opposition, blocks our players shots, can't hold up the ball, a statue in the box, makes a run into the box once in 3 games, can't control the ball with that wonderful first touch.

Both can't finish but we all know who's far better, don't be naïve.

[Jase 43,479]

Suspected Torres dressed up as Ba today. Shocking misses but as Ollie pointed out, he had a stinker today but if this continues, then we really do have a problem!

[Mufassir08 2,400]

His performance was good it was just his finishing that was way off.

[zolayes 14,489]

at last the adults come on who can tell the difference between chalk and cheese,,

Ba isnt the greatest striker in the PL but he is a fucking lot better than Torres

[zolayes 14,489]

I dont know why this topic is so quiet.

Ba doesnt look any better than Torres.

you should try watching with your good eye?

[Styles 9,790]

Perhaps his first poor game in a Chelsea shirt. Should have at least put one away. Still 16563453845690x better than Torres.

[DH1988 1,319]

Wtf am I reading!?

The only problem was he had an off day with finishing. Movement, hold up and that nature were still amazing, Same as we expected!!

[Manuf 1,448]

our team learned how to by-pass the striker, Ba looked annoyed but he should take his chances.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

He had the Torres flu yesterday.I am sure his finishing will be better next time.
