Samuel Eto'o

Or give Ba a consistent run?

Not good enough for Chelsea as far as I know.

Ba's Problems- falls on his feet, slow turn, poor finisher, poor ball control,

Torres problems- goes on a run of bad games too often, poor finisher, poor ball control, loses the ball with poor passing, disappears in long periods in a match, poor movement.

Eto's problems- Short, slow, poor finisher.

Eto has the fewest problems i complain about among our 3 strikers. What if he has a run of games? will his finishing kick in?

And the other two clowns are, is that what you're implying?

This farce has gone on long enough. Either get a new top striker in January or choose one of the current three to be the number one striker and allow him to at least try picking up good form when given a consistent run of games. I really don't care which of them gets the bigger slice of the pie because they're all shit anyway but it's pointless to keep tinkering around with the three strikers like Mourinho's done so far this season.

I disagree. Ba's a much better finisher than people give him credit for, he actually deserves a run of games!

I would start Eto'o tommorow, Mingolet's distribution is crap, i actually reckon we can get a bit of joy if Eto'o does his famous press/harass the keeper.

I think the finishing part kicks in when you have confidence in you and the good run of games will do just that.

If you have been reading my earlier post in this thread, I was saying exactly that- choose the striker that fits the play and give him some consistent time. The choice come to either Torres or Eto'o. Throwing Ba in that mix is only going to complicate that. He should be the sub coming on every game at 70-80 when Jose had enough with the other 2 clowns.

My bad, I should have read the last page too.

All our strikers are equal when it comes to finishing in my opinion. But eto seems to get a lot of chances anytime he plays which means his movement is better than the others. I think finishing gets better after a run of games, so eto should be the one to get this chance.

why not give Schurrle 2 games as starter leading the line

He can't be much worse :/

There is definitely a lot more good to come. There are goals in the lad.

He isn't used to player as the target man so as we seen against MU, he will drop back a lot to try and touch the ball. Essentially meaning we got no ST up top, the target man required for our formation to work. So him never playing there is due to tactic and not personal traits at all like he isn't as good as Eto'o or something.

HAHA! Absolutely guaranteed that he'd score today after all the stick I've given him. Fair play, think he did the best he could today. His kick on Suarez - that didn't result in a stonewall penalty - was my favourite highlight.

Gave Suarez what he deserved today :blue scalf:
