The_Flash 1,144 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think he should try play he together, I thought he was going to today but took Torres off then we really looked liked never getting a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 He still looks quick, agile, skilful and can finish like very few in the world can, he works extremely hard off the ball as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 when a guy chases down like he did ,,he has earned his luck ... second was BRILLIANT Willian and class finish from Etoo ,, The BEST momoent of the match by far Phil Driver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 That second goal was classic Eto'o, world class first touch and a ruthless finish. For a guy that has had so much success and made so much money, he comes off incredibly humble. Hamon and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamon 103 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 351 goals in Eto'o's career between national team and clubs.Such a legend. ChelseasMessiah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 What's is not often mentioned is he is offering much more than just goals.Even at the start when he wasn't scoring, he was linking up the play and suffering very minimal turnovers and rarely losing possession.Unless Torres or Ba go on a major scoring rampage, Eto'o should be playing when fit.

It's always the same optimistic viewpoint, then next bad game it's a different story and this other thing comes out the bag that he's not good enough that sitting on the bench at Anzhi has destroyed him.I'm not even sure about Torres yet and he has been brilliant so far.

Rom2013 446 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 He wins every ball on air because he can protect it very well and win the best position, he works really hard in defense, he is scoring, he has a good conection with thwe other players. I think he is doing it really well and he should be in the starting eleven more often. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Torres is injured anyway, but supposing both are fit I think there should be a real rotation between them, with each starting 50% of matchesHe was absolutely amazing today.And people should notice that our strikers have been scoring consistently since last month except the Newcastle match where they didn't get any service at all.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Loved this guy from his time at Barcelona and Inter, always had that great ability to turn and cause danger. Jose was very clever in his after match assessment saying he has seen Hilderbrand in other countries and how his distribution is slow and that Samu was told of this. But that is all well and good but then it's up to the forward to put this to task in game- he did and he took us from a really average moment to a momentum builder just by pressing a keeper and seeing the rewards. Big credit for that, because he could of easily thought "Fuck that" but he pressed and got what he wanted, the celebration said it all.Second was just a sublime finish, the ball from Willian still needed a great first touch, it was at pace and he took it so, so well.Well done Samu, keep it up.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The first goal was a fluke, but some might call that experience. The second was just sumptuous though, and the type of goal we've probably missed from our strikers. Clinical, powerful, confident...and Eto'o just seems more mellow compared to how I remember him. When Draxler went in on him 9 out of 10 players would've reacted in some way, but he's seen it all before and just helped the kid up (should've seen a card for that in my opinion).I've said before that he looks like a 32 year old Eto'o when I've commented on his pace, but it seems like he's lost none of the instincts that made him so dangerous. He might still be able to do a job for us until May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Eto´o lack of real competition in Russia, no motivation there, he just filled his pockets...etc.Somehow, I get the feeling this guy is getting better weekly. If he can start scoring, watch out boys. Him & Ferda popping them goals in, oh boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 He sprinted 6m faster than Hildebrand needed for 1m. That is how you earn a goal. Also his run for the 2nd was only possible by his immense pace to give him acres of space for the finish. He, Willian and Ramires prove much too fast for a naive Schalke team.

Hamon 103 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 And the fact that this Eto'o is the 40% at most of what he used to be, tells you how beastly he was.Keep it on Sammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
