The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 He just came back from injury and hasn't played in ages ffs. Of course he's going to be rusty. The overreaction in here is ridiculous.Was it an eye injury? He cost us that third goal because he gave the ball away at the worst possible point. What was he trying to do? Why did he not pass the ball to the right-wing to a wide-open Mata? What could returning from an injury and being rusty possibly have to do with what he did when he received the ball?I'm not having a go but let's try and be consistent when appraising our strikers be they 20 or 32.If you can explain what rustiness has to do with what happened in that single incident when he receives the ball in transition then fine. It might explain his general shit play and ineffectiveness in the rest of his game, but in that precise instance I think it's just him not being a particularly good play anymore.

The overreaction in here is ridiculous.When are people going to stop using the excuse he's rusty, he is rustier than the tin man at the minute. We can't wait around for him to get better. Just admit it people his best days are over. We should never have got him. I pray we swap him for someone else in Jan. Deny it all you want, it's true, he struggles to score, oddly falls over the fall alot, gives the ball away alot, and due to that he cost us that game.

Doesn't matter if it's Eto'o, I'd be saying the exact same for anyone else. OneMoSalah and didi007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be saying the same if it was Lukaku who was in the same situation I would be saying the exact same thing. The only place to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be saying the same if it was Lukaku who was in the same situation I would be saying the exact same thing.Eto'o has been passable but he has two goals in the Premier League, one from Ridgewell having a brainfart and one which the ref didn't realise was against the rules of football.He is what he is - a 32 year old version of Samuel Eto'o who went into what was effectively semi-retirement. This club chose that over a hungry, unpolished diamond. That is what this club does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las7 951 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 The sad thing is that despite him being semi retired we usually look like a better side when he is playing as shown by a recent article looking at all three of our supposed "strikers" http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2013/12/8/5188840/chelsea-fc-shot-frequency-fernando-torres-samuel-etoo-demba-ba-jose-mourinho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players get old and they lose part of what made them great.Torres seems to have lost pretty much everything that made him special, and Ba never really had it in the first place.

Las7 951 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 hahaha, we do not look better with Etoo for me, thats funnyStatiscally we look better with him in the side - the entire team and Eto'o average more shots and shots on target with him in the side. I still don't feel like he is any where near good enough to be first choice striker at a club at our stature but he is a slight improvement over Torres and Ba Tomo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
