The College Dropout Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 There's only been one successful striker at Chelsea in close to 10 years. Drogba. It's a deep-rooted problem imo. Technically Hasselbaink was at Chelsea till 2004. That's why I said "close to". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Anelka and Kalou (a stretch, I know) are both strikers. They were simply deployed in different roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Anelka and Kalou (a stretch, I know) are both strikers. They were simply deployed in different roles. Kalou and Anelka's 1 in 5 records playing in bit part roles just cements TCD's post even more. A real top class striker behind their midfield would be scoring 40 a season in all comps. In Roman's era they have bought horrendously in the striker department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Having said that, I hate the Lucas-Gerrard midfield. It's too static and struggles when they are pressed. Like the "anyone-Gerrard" midfield partnerships, hence why he's never actually been as good as people think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Wasn't it more Hamann-Alonso with Gerrard further forward? EDIT: Hmm, judging by the UEFA Match Centres, those three never played at the same time in the competition. Steven's a little autobiographical liar.

Mr. Snrub Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 They also had the best CM in the league when they had Masch playing behind Alonso and Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Garcia is a fantastic coach. Plus now that is a midfield.... De Rossi-Pjanic-Strootman Also despite what some may think of him, you cannoy deny the genius of Totti still brilliant to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Rossi-Pjanic-Strootman Also despite what some may think of him, you cannoy deny the genuis of Totti still brilliant to watch. Absolutely. I don't think I've ever given Garcia that much credit and was somewhat sceptical of his appointment but I'm happy to be totally won over by the bloke. Gervinho is looking like a very good player again and the game plan / playing style is really spot on. Impressed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Speaking of Debuchy, in this system of Garcia's i can see why he looked good Also am i wrong or is Ljajic the same one who Man Utd bought and got rid of pretty quickly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 They didn't buy him in the end, trained with them but never actually signed. Tosic is the one they actually bought then got rid of straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Not sure he ever went to Man Utd though, they just bought a first option or something. Got Tosic instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
