Closed Chelsea v Everton

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Hanging on my word, funny that a number of different people including yourself have quoted old posts and brought up old subjects.

It wasn't in front of you it was FIVE DAYS ago my old post. Yet you chose to requote it TODAY?? LOL You guys do make me laugh

Yes you should have taken two seconds to see that I think both are terrible and have slagged Torres on many occasions.

Eto'o is ****** he's had a handful of performances this season where i did hope he had regained earlier talent but far too many he has been terrible.

Clearly the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor with this one... LOL I actually read it for the first time today so yes it is new to me. Why that is so hard to comprehend I will never know.

Anyway if I had my choice between starting Eto'o or Torres in a must win match its Eto'o hands down. I've seen enough floundering Torres to last me a lifetime.

I have seen enough of the pair of them, the sooner we get ANYONE else the better. Elevator, lol, funny guy

I think Eto'o deserves a bit of respect here. The lad took a massive pay cut to join us and even the transfer fee was free. It's not nice to call him Shit. After all, he is one of the best strikers of his generation. And also Mr. Torres(25 years old) who joined us for about £50 million after spending 3 years in Liverpool only managed to score 1 goal in his 14 EPL appearances. Meanwhile, Samuel Eto'o(32 years old) joins us for free and manages to score more goals than Torres.

Tough match against Everton. A Must win.

I'm glad you feel that way! How many has Torres scored in his Chelsea career?

Um , we're talking about Eto'o?

why do you feel the need to drag someone else into it?

[thekid9 418]

Wonder if Eto'o will have his rubber band boots on again if he starts!

[Sheva. 5,373]

Meh.

Maybe because you're a Torres fan who's been bitching about Eto'o at every chance he gets ? It's pretty clear that you have an agenda.

Also when determining the level of sh*tness of a striker it makes sense to bring Torres into the conversation.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Meh.

Those stats are false because Torres has 28 appearances.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Though game...

I will take Any win...

[DoubleO 192]

London, here I come!

I've visited Stamford Bridge for twice but this is the first time I see Chelsea playing "live".

It's correct actually. Torres has 18 appearances in the Premier League, 1 in League Cup, 2 in FA Cup, 3 in Champions League and 1 in the Super Cup.

Will miss this but will have the SKY set to record. Middlesbrough v Leeds....Urrggghhhhhh!!!

[Jase 43,479]

Mourinho's pre-match press conference will be at 12.30pm UK time today. Wonder what he will have in store for us all...

[oxfordblues 299]

i must remember not to go via twickenham as its the rugby 6 nations, nice early start as the traffic in london is gonna be bad.3 ---1 for me

[Viper22 2,418]

Meh.

Not that I was into this debate before, but this truly must put it to bed. Torres has not been great for us, but this season he's been alright. Eto'o has been slightly worse than Torres this season (no debate here, stats show it) but I guess you could put that down to him acclimatising to the PL.

Anyway, my opinion before was that we should start Nando, and these stats have just backed it up. Thought he was in pretty good short term form before the injury. 3 goals in 4 appearances wasn't it?

Torres has been unlucky with injuries this season, but he's done well for us. Eto'o has been good too, in spells.

Ultimately we have two strikers with different strengths for different games. When there's space behind defences then Torres is the choice (I expect him to play in Galatasaray). In tighter games then Eto'o probably has better link up play to bring in the likes of Hazard.

But the arguments need to stop and people need to realise that whether they favour Torres or Eto'o, they can all agree on one thing:

Ba is a pile of shit.

[Pizy 18,368]

Have a strong feeling this'll be one of those games we all hate to see our side go against. Can see it being a lame defensive stalemate for the majority of the match with neither side threatening goal. One team will then get a really late goal and win 1-0.

Just hope we look like we actually have a plan in the final third this time. Don't play at walking pace like we did against West Brom and don't act like headless chickens with ZERO ideas like we did against West Ham. The game plan should be to move the ball quickly and use width. Don't have Hazard playing more through the middle than on the flanks where he's been a world beater.

Absolutely crucial 3 points. Everyone talking about the title or us being locked in the top 3. If we lose this one and Liverpool & Spuds win theirs we'll be in a serious battle just for top 4. Which is insane considering how shit Spuds have been this season and their pathetic goal difference.
