Mourinho was after winning at all cost and not about the chances we create. He wasn't after the sharpness of our front men. He did a good job with the counter attacks and proved to the world he's the best when it comes to that. Nevertheless, the point of spending so much to buy Drogba was a waste to chelsea loyal fans. Drogba was called names, dives and all sorts but he was really giving his best but the passes were not getting to him.
Drogba was truly a class during his chelsea days, from a main man inside the box 18 changed to a man in front of the box. He will do magic, brilliant turning in front of the box make the defenders look like dummies and put ball inside the net and I will call him 'king of long ball'. Puyol,Yobo,Pique,Carragher,Ferdinard and the likes can testify to this as they all suffered in the hands of the brilliant Didier. Though he started really slow at chelsea but I could bet if he got those passes coming, he would have done better.
Shevchenko was brought in so their could be relief for Drogba, but the ukraine man failed to deliver cause the style of football he's been used to. Shevy used to be an inside box striker, create the work for him with those passes and he will do the job. Shevy find life very hard at stamford bridge and couldn't make his mark and Didier was preferred. The fans love the Ivorian cause he would always deliver and find a chance to score the goals even without the pass coming to him. The man will do magic with powerful header unexpectedly. He's a true legend.
Didier age was something to be considered and we brought in a world class.
Torres back then. The Spanish also couldn't make his mark as the most expensive player in England. He's having the same problem Shevy had back then. Fernando is not a striker that will fight for the balls, he needs those passes for him to score the goals and that really dropped his form drastically. Back in Liverpool, Stephen G and Alonso will always supply him those passes compared to Lampard that will always want to score the goals(legend). Though Lampard is one of the players with the highest assists in the league, but still El nino needs to be fed with passes.
After winning the 2012 champions league, so sad the magnificent Didier had to leave in the aim of giving Torres full chance to play. Surprisingly, he ended up scoring 8 times in the league with the type of striker he was known to be. We began to suffer, fans started the chant of Didier and honestly we miss the talisman. The champions league 2012 final was a memory chelsea fans across the globe will always remember cause of the legendary Didier
The season has began again, we are still struggling to create chances for our strikers. Eto'o is a fantastic striker but I'm afraid he will find life very difficult at stamford bridge. The only player with the creativity we need is Mata, forget the fact that he won't rush back to defend, that's not the kind of player he is. Hazard,Oscar are good but they are not giving those passes our strikers need. Ramires is a machine but lacks that creativity of throwing passes. Mikel is a kind of player that is capable of doing that but would never be given the chance to operate that No 10 role .
What's the way forward?
