Samuel Eto'o

[The only place to be 11,313]

He's on loan because he isn't good enough to start every week for us. Instead, he's doing us a favour by playing every week at Everton, and helping our title bid by derailing those of others.

I'd rather have Lukaku at the Bridge, learning his trade here and loan Eto'o out to help derail our competitor's title chances.

In fact I'd love to loan Eto'o to Arsenal and let him derail their's.

No contact for him next season. Even Ba is having better games.

I'd love to have Lukaku too, but then again - he would have sat on the bench while Torres and Eto'o get playing time.

Apparently Lukaku isn't good enough for us because his touch isn't good enough, his back to goal play isn't good enough, his passing isn't good enough.

With his back to goal, Eto'o fails to see the Stoke player about to tackle him, fails to make the pass to a wide-open Juan Mata on the wing and leaves us wide-open to a counter-attack.

His decision making and thinking were completely off the pace and the number of times he tried to take on players when a pass was the better option was ridiculous. Ended up losing the balls so many times and of course, one of them led Stoke's winner.

Actually, this sums up his time at Chelsea. He has had some good moments, but overall he's been poor just like our other strikers.

The injuries to Torres and Eto'o really killed us. They were both doing extremely well before the injuries. And before everyone jumps on the "Eto'o is done" bandwagon, let's not forget that two weeks ago he was putting in excellent performances for us especially against Schalke where his movement was simply world-class.

Although he was poor i do find it funny how his losing the ball for Stoke's goal gets picked out, when Torres lost the ball for Tottenham's goal at WHL at got punished with 117 votes for MOTM.

Maybe because for the rest of that match Torres was the best player on the pitch while Eto'o was utter wank yesterday. I really respect your opinion, mate, but sometimes your obsession with Torres is way OTT!

It was more of a tongue in cheek comment, and really? Sturridge had a better display against WBA the season before and practically got hounded out of the club. Terry got the equalizer,kept our defense together, Mata got the assist, Lampard and Ramires dominated Spurs midfield, yet Torres who missed two guilt edged chances, the ball for this first goal and get a red get's 117 MOTM votes because he made a couple of good runs against those donkey's Dawson and Vertonghen. He played well for his standards but he was no way our best player on the pitch.

The City match he was (our best player on the pitch) and he really played well and deserved the praise an MOTM votes, but the reaction to his WHL game was well, well ott, it was similar to Drogba's game against Arsenal in 2004/2005 and Sturridge against West Brom last season in the sense he played a decent game but other played better and missed a couple of glorious chances. The only difference being two of them got stick like never before and the other got praised to the hilt.

I give him praise when he did play well, i did it against City, and will if he has another great single game i will do the same, it changes nothing in the grand scheme of things, i want him gone and can't wait for the day.

And it's not just with Torres. Believe me i gave Turnbull, Bosingwa, Pizzaro, Huth amoungst other's just as much flak, and was more than happy when they all the departed the club.

He is terrible he must go

[The Skipper 20,609]

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.

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.

Criticism is fine by me but making a single player scapegoat for everything for last game is silly...

Your opinions are shit tbh, he's fucked up ONCE all year (right after an injury layoff), give him a break lmao.

If you can't understand that any player will be rusty after not playing for nearly 3 weeks (if I'm correct, might be longer) then I can't help you. Doesn't matter if it's Eto'o, I'd be saying the exact same for anyone else.

[OneMoSalah 8,884]

Dont know why Jose put him on, I know we needed a goal but we could all see he wasn't 100% ready to play again.
