dayokanu:

To pass after Ba wasted 3 clear chances? Same thing I woulda said if it was Torres

Dayo....Make we finish match 1st before we start that one....

How your weekend though?

Talk about hitting top form at a very crucial time of the season.

coogar: gradually, the kraut is realising ba is not an improvement on torres.....

Ba is getting chances/shots and but he isnt burying chances, Torres on the other hand doesnt position himself to get chances/shots

I'm sure even you must have noticed how deep Ba has been forced to drop to get a touch of the ball.

Ba is yet to have a shot(at time of writing) all 2nd half.

How many did he get in the first half? His profligacy today must have been why those midfielders decide to go themselves

Ba's finishing today has been 3rd division level

Ba shar

Chances galore for Ba. He just can't do anything right today, can he?

Can anyone else see how Lampard has been robbing Ba all day?

Is today profligacy day Or JJ is world class?

Is today profligacy day?

jackbauersballs: Can anyone else see how Lampard has been robbing Ba all day?

None except errant hater like you.

Lamps has given Ba enough through balls and clear chances today

jackbauersballs: Can anyone else see how Lampard has been robbing Ba all day?

Na lie jor, Ba has had more than enough chances to get on the score sheet absent Lampard.

Routine, except for the profligacy

nitlad: Na lie jor, Ba has had more than enough chances to get on the score sheet absent Lampard.

Abi o. Na Lampard tell Demba Ba to dey miss chances? If Ba was interested in scoring today he had enough chances to score a hat trick

Ba didnt even have a single shot all 2nd half...

Twice in the final minutes, Ba was on the left flank trying to make himself useful.

While Lamps was taking shots IN THE BOX.

Yes Ba was criminally wasteful with his chances, but those chances were few for the nigga.

In any case, I ask the discerning audience again - Is Ba a significant improvement on Torres?

If Yes...Why?

If No...Why?

Nearly all the players played like Torres in front of goal today especially Ba. Is it a bug or something? the T-bug I guess.

sha 3 points and on to the next one.

jackbauersballs: Can anyone else see how Lampard has been robbing Ba all day?

ma friend you say what? Ba had more than enough chances today.

FBS:
ma friend you say what? Ba had more than enough chances today.

I agree sir...I just feel that Lampard and Mata had more chances than he did...

I mean if he wasn't so wasteful, Lampard could have had a Hat-trick today - That's how many chances he had!

Extreme profligacy. We are witnessing the effects of prolonged periods of not scoring - strikers lose confidence. Simple as!
Whether or not he gets it back is debatable but it is evident that Ba has remained far less clinical than he was at Newcastle and has clearly lost confidence. Where have we seen this before?

This subject has been over-flogged on here. Peops will just have to rest in their own halves desperately glued to their own opinions.
Debating this has long become a futile exercise.

Meanwhile I am getting thrilled by Hazard. The dude is slowly coming into the zone.
Adding goal-scoring to his plethora of attributes could make this dude anything he wants to be.

I still need me an upgrade on Moses.

only a complete lunatic would compare chelsea's demba ba to the free scoring demba ba of newcastle. if that was torres today firing blanks from good chances, the kraut and his army of mental handicaps would say he's finished!

is this not the same demba ba that had scored 13 league goals before joining chelsea? why is ba suddenly useless at chelsea but scoring freely at newcastle?

obviously, something is wrong with the chelsea system......and if it's the system that is flawed then torres is not dud!

@Nateevs and Coogar...Mehn I tire for matter o...

I'm just waiting for somebody to come and Say that Torres is a Dud again...

Ba needs to play regularly. Torres was and he FAILED! simples.

jackbauersballs: @Nateevs and Coogar...Mehn I tire for matter o...

I'm just waiting for somebody to come and Say that Torres is a Dud again...

let me load ba's chances in comparison to the midfielders behind him and expose tactical frauds like dayokanu and his cohorts.....cheiiii, may God bless opta stats....

Which chances were few? I could could at least 3 in the first half alone In the second half, Demba Ba was set free and he had a shot blocked by a recovering defender Was that lampards fault that he had a shot blocked.

is Ba an improvement over Torres Yes. Ba still manage to get in position to take shots while Torres is usually completely useless complaining they dont give him chances

Like I always ask where does Demba get those chances which he scores few and wastes a lot from?

Demba ba might be suffering from not playing regularly Players need confidence.

If Demba has the kind of uninterrupted run Torres had this season 20 straight league games started

He would score more than 7 that The dud has

0 goals this calendar year isnt dud enough?

7 goals in 27 games for NT isnt dud enough? What could be dudder than that?

The Demba ba that was scoring 13 league goals was playing every single game unlike in Chelsea where the Dud takes valuable time.

Dud started all league games before Ba and scored 7 measly league goals

where was this silly excuse when drogba was hampering torres' number of appearances. you are a fraud with your illogical analysis. ba and torres are not duds, the chelsea system is the problem. look at the number of chances lampard(from a deep position) got at goal while the lead striker got crumbs......how would this lead striker match van persie, suarez or even lambert when the chances are few and far between?

you are a lunatic.....
hernandez and edin dzeko are good examples that sitting on the bench via rotation is motivational. a striker would score goals anytime he's called upon to do business. ba does not suffer any confidence crisis. he does not get many chances!

Thank God for Opta stats that prove what I saw...

How can a man playing from a WITHDRAWN position have more shots than his striker?

And you say the Striker is having chances?

My question was, Is Ba a SIGNIFICANT improvement over Torres?

Ba did not have a single shot in the 2nd half...Not a single shot.

There is something wrong when previously free scoring strikers cease to perform when brought to the bridge!

dayokanu:

That is despite the point.
Strikers don't need to play regularly to score goals. I cannot accept that.
How do you explain Chicarito and Le Fondre coming in for the odd minute yet finding the back of the net?

The only explanation leans towards our point of view.

another retardëd theory plucked from your own rectum....
torres does not get into positions to fire shots? are you sure? let me check opta stats of the corresponding fixture at upton park earlier in the season to prove your brilliance or stupidity.

there you go - dayo's stupidity has been confirmed!
