Wow, Jose, I think Mata wants to tell you something pal and all you have to do is listen.
He's quite hardworking, I'll grant you that, but I'd say he'd be more suited being played behind another striker or on the wing since he doesn't really seem to be a class poacher anymore (yes, people are going to mention the goals he's scored this season, but he's just not what he used to be).
How so? Torres did a pretty good job of bullying the last two defences he's played against.Eto'o will pose more direct threat to defences, in my opinion, once he adapts to the English game.
And on the topic of the 'strikerless' formation, I think Sch?rrle would be a good striker - he's got the pace for it and although it can still be improved massively, his finishing isn't bad.
Yes, Torres is on-form now, but he's still yet to have a long spell of consistency at Chelsea. And I think Chelsea should give the strikerless formation a go once Torres's spell of good form ends, it's worth a try.He doesn't have to be a poacher any more. He's actually been playing pretty well as a much more complete sort of striker in recent times for us: holding the ball up and winning it in the air, as well as running at defences and using his pace

It's not that we don't have the players for it, it's just that it's a tactic that works in a limited niche and requires a lot of effort to pull off effectively.
Willian's work-rate and defensive contribution was fantastic which was surprising ... I reckon we will see a lot more of him this season
When he plays like that he offer more than Schurrle because Willian's passing is sensational too.
You guys are quite excited about beating Arsenal-B.
Hardly Arsenal B, they started with Ramsey, Wilshere and Cazorla who are all in their first XI and brought on Giroud and Ozil later on in the game. I suppose we are more excited by how comprehensively we beat them with a second-string albeit supremely talented side

Yes, we are excited that our second string beat Arsenal's second string which included their top scorer this season............

Now matter how you try to spin it, your bench completely ***** on theirs. So its a bit weird that you're trying to sell it as some epic victory heh.

And Ryo Miyaichi and Nicklas Bendtner.

Bertrand Traore has signed for the club on a four and a half year deal. He looked pretty good in pre season whilst on trial at the club![]()
