Sidzeret 2,257 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 He could have had two assists today, one for Hazard and one for Oscar, very selfish..It's his first game, and it was becoming an exhibition.. so I can understand why, but still.Not complaining, but Eto'o would've passed on both occasions. Maybe it'll take time to have an understanding with our midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 14, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted September 14, 2014 He could have had two assists today, one for Hazard and one for Oscar, very selfish..It's his first game, and it was becoming an exhibition.. so I can understand why, but still.It was his début. Every striker wants to score on his or her début. I don't know about you, but watching Torres, Ba and Eto'o, I got a bit fed up of watching strikers who became too scared to shoot and chose to pass every time. We have two strikers in Remy and Costa who have scored eight goals between them, from 17 shots, 11 of which have been on target. It's nice to have strikers who can find the net, so let's maybe rein in the criticism and enjoy a good thing while we have it.Some people are never satisfied. I, on the other hand, couldn't be happier. Nothing better than seeing a big name striker finding his feet straight away.

Jase 43,479 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Exquisite finish from Remy yesterday. Always good to see our strikers get their first goal on the debut.And he's now our 3rd striker of the last four to have scored on their debut. Not bad..

Fulham Broadway 17,315 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hes bigger than I thought, and an upgrade on that chap we packed off to Milan.Think he feels he got something to prove after the shambles at Anfield, and lets see him score against them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Should have started today, but looked really great when he came on.If we had a real third striker threat I wouldn't be surprised to see him and Costa start together. Looked a good threat even playing from midfield. Barbara, MrBlueGuy, Styles and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Was excellent when he finally got on. Didn't realise how well he could do out wide as a support striker. Good on ya buddy, hopefully tonight a lesson has been learned. Drogba on for last 20, never ever Remy. He has too much to offer. zolayes and Styles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Styles 9,790 Posted September 17, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted September 17, 2014 He was very good.I think that's the last time Drogba starts ahead of Remy. It should be anyway.

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 We could easily play 2 strikers now with Costa spearheading and Remy supporting. Looked good in the short time he got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I understand the reason why we are not playing Costa as starter as much as I understand we will give Drogba playing time someday, but what is the logical reason to not playing Remy as a starter today, if he is fit? Physically and mentality are in good condition imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Drogba just had a two week long break while Remy played two matches for France.Didn't Drogba has just train and recover from injury ?Allright, so that I prefer half fit Drogba rather than almost a full week rested Remy since his last france match (didn't count that much of his involvement in Swansea game, just 20 minutes will not impact anything to his physical condition imo) any day. Doesn't make sense to me.Seems Mourinho really underestimating Schalke or he just want to play Drogba related to his last memory with Chelsea.I defend and stick with Jose most of the time, but tbf this time, I disappointed with this decision. Too much gambling on it, despite you have a better option to play 'safe'. The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Unlucky not to score last night and I maintain what I keep saying about him. He will get us goals, bot only that but he should also be getting the nod ahead of Didier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physically and mentality are in good condition imo.I think it may be cause Remy only trained with the squad for a really short amount of time while Didier has been there sine the start. Hence, Didier should be a bit more comfortable playing with the rest of the team. The other reason I can think of was that Jose was afraid they would try and park the bus early, and Drogba was put on to ensure they don't do that at the start else we just fling cross after cross to his head. Old as he is he still has his aerial ability. Those are the only logical reasons I can come up with anyways. RoyalBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I know we were winning when Drogba was warmed up, but what the hell man we can't give our second(He might be third for all we know) striker on against the champions with a 1 goal lead? What sense does that make?Total lack of ambition by Mourinho. Why even bother starting him vs Bolton? Just give more minutes to Drogba.
