wong_se said:aiya...winning EPL is not so simple as 1 theory mah....Chelsea won lot of 1-0 match. yes..their striker is not strong, I never said Drogba is good. But having midfielder score most of the goal..that is not a healthy or balance situation...Unless the striker department has the highest number in assist in goal.
Not having highest number of assist in goal and not having the highest of goal scored...then we pay 15m for a striker...might as well playe Sinama and Mellor.
For me...Chelseas last season success was quite similiar to ours during 1999/2000. They won lots of 1-0 match...they are extremely strong in defending...look at their number of goals conceded last season.
Terry and his team, and Cech just did a wonderful job..
In contrast...we have Kirkland and Dudek did us several floppy goalkeeping..ie we lost 1-0 to MU..Rooney weak shot just past dudek arms...we lost 1-0 to everton...where Kirkland did not move but diving at the same place when everton scored from freekick.
and Josemi....always off position and waved the hand to linesmand + jogging behind the striker together with our oldest player Pelle.
Attack can only build on strong defence. Even Fergi nowadays still looking desperately replacement for SheisMichael and he always give credits to the twin tower, Bruce + Pallister.
i've not much issue with Man Utd but i know they'll be strong this season. so too the likes of Arsenal and Chelski. Newcastle can't play as a team for all i care. everton's true form will finally show this season.
as for Liverpool, perhaps it is still early. alot of details need to be ironed out. definitely stronger than the season before.
we need a total out and out striker. cisse's the one?
