guys, i know we will have a very very big match tomorrow nite as we must win against nord.. even a draw will be bad or worst we lose.. i hope conte will deployed all of our finest player n no bedner.

put that aside, lets hav a bit of discussion bout our ''scoreless'' strikers... i hv been wondering bout this since after amauri era. then we has boriello also almost be the nex amauri but thankfully he did scored a few crucial goals for us toward the end of las season. but this season, all our strikers becomin more like amauri in term of unable to scored eventho we they hav a lot of good chances in front of goals.

to date our stikers

Fabio Quagliarella - 3 goals
Sebastian Giovinco - 3 goals
Mirko Vucinic - 2 goals
Alessandro Matri - 1 goals
Nicklas Bendtner - no goal yet

this is worrisome guys.. even for a out form ac milan, their striker el sharrawy is leading the serie a top scorer. i compared to all leagues in europe, other than la liga where messi,ronaldo n falcao hav 10 goals or more, other strikers have an average of 6-8 goals by now. but for our strikers, i just dont know what to say anymore. im not saying they r not good, they can create,dribble,pass xcept unable to finish it. is it an amauri curse or something? or are our strikers very lack of world class level? we r the old lady, we r back being a giant again in europe, we r by far the best domestic club in italy, but we hav this weird problem. it is a good thing that all our goals came from any position of players bout strikers shud score a lot more. also iinm all our goals mostly came from set pieces compared to a more direct approach.

im sure our top management has aware of this, they shud have. so this coming january transfer i hope they wil bring in a very good striker to solve this issue. i frustrated we unable to get RVP wit us, i really wish he, or cavanni or falcao could join us but i dun c that will happen. shud we get Giuseppe Rossi this january? coz other than him, i dunno anymore top strikers available n can play ucl for us. he shud already healed by then but ofcoz his injury prone and his performance after his injuries is still in doubt whether he is a right choice for us or not.. so guys, what do u have tosay regarding this matter? i am really worry in the situation is continuous like this. we cant win if we dont score, n we also cant win if we dont score more than our opponent.

The first 15 to 20 mins against Inter we could have put the game to bed. But instead of our strikers getting into great goal scoring positions, it was our midfielders. And eventhough Vidal and Marchisio are great going forward, they are no strikers in terms of finishing. Thats why football has different position like strikers and midfielders. Vidal and Marchsio choose the wrong options and i not for once blame them becuase they are afterall midfielders.

That is when our toothless strikers come in. Inter not just played well, they had a top striker to trouble us. Milito was a huge difference between us and Inter that night. He probed, he moved into channels, he drew fouls, he confused our backline. Bendtner on the other hand has a nice touch. And thats about it. Full stop. Giovinco can get past players, but when he did, he passed the ball back to the opponents.

A striker with more quality must surely come in now. Or we will stare at the possibility of a one season wonder. We might end up finishing 2nd or 3rd and out of UCL at grp stage.

Get someone. Llorente or Dzeko or whatever la. They are not WC, but hell they are way better than the pathetic bunch we have now. The oonly 2 strikers that can stay is Quag and Vucinic. Vucinic will support the new guy, Quag and giovinco as subs. Then we can start talking about retaining the title and fighting for UCL.

agreed wit kuale, me other fav team which barca, tho they have plenty of reliable strikers, they also have a magician - messi who can do wonders in a very crucial moment, especially this season where barca are weak in defense n always have to make a come back victory.

how i wish we hav such wonder boy. for now i saw there is a lot of potential for pogba to be our wonderboy. march also a candidate. but again they r not strikers.. arghhhh how i missed the tym when trez and del piero as our strikers, we hav nedved too..

Well Messi is kinda in the grey area too. Don't forget Barca can operate without a designated striker, as shown by the absence of Villa. Plus their "real" magicians are in Iniesta and Xavi, who start building play from way back, & Messi will reliably follow up and finish it.

We had that in Trez and ADP last time. And even Iaquinta at his prime or Toni! Now the only striker who doesn't seem to miss his Gio, but given his limited size and strength there's little he can do if he gets double-teamed. The best he could do is to earn freekicks for Pirlo outside the box.

Imagine the damage we could have done upfront, even if we manage to sign cassano or super mario

Llorente still has yet to renew his contract. Hope Beppe don't miss this golden opportunity.

Marc could be our wonderboy for now as he's really a box to box MF. Pogba on the other hand, has the advantage of not many people have seen his style, once he played 10-20 games, we have to see of our opponents could find a way to neutralize him. I definitely don't want Pogba to be end up being another Krasic.

Removes the jersey or covers the face with a mask or similar device after scoring a goal

4-0 the final score. While chelsea edge shaktar on the final seconds of the match

the match in Turin for Juve-Chelsea would be an explosive

Good win, feel bad for matri unable to score any goal.. but good assist from him tho..
Demmit chelsea won so last minute. Now we need to win all the remainin games.
