Chelsea 7-0 Ipswich Town

Because the difference is, they can offer/score by other means too.

Hear hear -

Can Drogba/Anelka score by other means? Yes. Do they score by other means? Yes. Are they appreciated for this? Yes.

Can Kalou score other than tap-ins? According to most - No. Does he score tap-ins? Yes. Thus, does he do what you expect him to do? Yes. Is he appreciated for this? No.

So, why mock him for doing what you expect him to do?

About the stats part, show me one post where I brought up Kalou's stats in an attempt to justify him.

Or is he too busy in your wet dreams?

Here we go again with the insults...

Notice nobody other than you goes down this road.

[Term-X 7,891]

I haven't seen Kakuta scoring too many of them

So you value tap-ins higher than chance creation?

[Madmax 9,219]

Because that's all he has to offer! lmao, whenever people on here get into discussions over Kalou they bring up his stats.

Well then by your statement that he's the tap-in master, I guess he does his job rather well

Lmao at the usual "He puts in effort, arh look he's puttin in effort"

Believe it or not, that counts when 'quality' players like Anelka and Drogba prefer to jog about lazily.

About the stats part, show me one post where I brought up Kalou's stats in an attempt to justify him.

Somebody notice tx is yet to answer any of this?

Some people hare have double standards.

I have seen the video of Mikel you uploaded in the videos section. Class player.

And then he gets more stick for playing 2 bad games, than Essien who played 3-4 or more.

Haha fair analysis, I like "does he do what you expect him" - However the point is, imo, he should be able to do more.. Because he's a Chelsea player, however this is not his fault.. So I don't blame him, my issue with Kalou is no longer directly at him, it's more of the frustration of his selection - So at Carlo

As for the last part; Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean you.. I just meant generally, when Kalou is criticised, someone brings up his stats as justification for his starting place.. That's all

I didn't give him stick? I've been defending him since day one.. (<- Only if you meant me )

no ..but you use smart graphics and vid clips to ridicule those who dont agree with you ....

I hear you, I don't want him at this club after this season (like I said in the players u want in/out thread). I've tried and tried to be patient with him and defend him but now he's just undefendable (if there exists such a word )

But he's a Chelsea player so I'll support him and try to defend him when I feel others are mocking him for getting goals.

"lmao so true"

Anyway, time to retire for the night, catch y'all tomorrow.

That, and beyond Ancelotti my problem is with those who brought Kalou to this club and extended his contract.

As for the Kalou debate, it's getting tiresome. Especially when some have the audacity to bring up his stats and how supposedly managers like him after these have been broken down, analyzed and refuted countless times.

Funny how after they run out of arguments, the Kalou lovers get all emotional and resort to insults or switching the target to things like a users age, his admiration for a player or even questioning his love for the club.

You did the other day in another Kalou argument, Hypocryte.

So you value tap-ins higher than chance creation?

Kakuta hasn't made that many chances in the first team has he? Fair enough he hasn't got alot of time but he hasn't done anything special when he has, Where as McEachran, PVA and Sturridge have all impressed. Also Tap in goals are valued higher than Chance creation because about 70% of chances are taken, Where as 95% of tap ins are.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I think people like TX and Kostas don't want Kalou to have a good performance, everytime he does put in a good shift they never give it acknowledgement. Its like they want him to perform badley becuase it may drop him forsomeone like Kakuta, and so don't like it if he scores a goal or creates them.

how long have YOU been a fan of Chelsea ...your profile is somewhat lacking in detail..

As far as I'm concerned that's a lie, which you could have avoided by throughly reading the Match topics. Granted I've never wanked over a successful pass but I've both cheered and pointed out anything impressive he did on the pitch.

Its like they want him to perform badley becuase it may drop him forsomeone like Kakuta, and so don't like it if he scores a goal or creates them.

Well that's just bollocks.

I wasn't planning on quoting an example in that post but thanks anyway.
