Star Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Now if we had this discussion before the start of last season I would be laughed out of court ! Back then if we had the same choice of strikers many would have had Sheva as the untouchable !! We are in a 4-4-2 situation, maybe a 4-3-3 ... discuss who plays alongside probably we'd all agree now as the best striker in world football.

g3.7 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 sheva, but pizarro deserves to be higher in the pecking order right now. in any case, kalou currently holds the shirt, and rightly so IMO. in a 433 I think the order would be drogba, pizarro, sheva and finally kalou.

icecoolguy22 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Pizarro has the runs on the board at this stage, so he should be picked first. However comes to the Champion league matches, Sheva should and most likely will be picked ahead of Pizaro, his record and experience is way too precious to be ignored.

TomP Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Obviously, Sheva has not yet played, and Pizarro has looked pretty good when he has had a chance so far. But, Kalou has played as a proper support striker to Drogs - ie. playing a little deeper and wider - looking for the pass rather than the shot - which is exactly what a support striker should be doing.

BlueBosnian Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Whatever their form is like at the moment should decide that. Who says that it won't be Sheva and Pizzaro up front when Drogba is not in great form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callista Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Sheva has never been untouchable to me with his performances for Chelsea to date. Pizarro and Kalou are both above him in the pecking order as far as I can see. He is just coming back from injury and I don't think the Anfield game is the one to choose to ease him back into. Sheva will come more into his own in the CL may be but even then people forget Pizarro has great experience there too. Pizarro has done more to impress in the few games he has played that Sheva has through most of last season so he should get the nod. I keep vainly hoping Sheva will come good but I remain to be convinced it can ever happen in a Chelsea shirt sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooLisH Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 i think Kalou is the best choice for the moment; however Pizarro's game will improve, even more with Ballack back in the team, Pizarro will get us a several 'sweet' moments in the UCL. Remember my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBosnian Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Pizarro has done more to impress in the few games he has played that Sheva has through most of last season. Weren't we all in love with Sheva when he just came? Scoring against Liverpool in the C. Shield match, scoring against Boro right after... I understand that people are annoyed with his performance last season, but saying something like this, I'm sorry, but it's stupid. You're going to compare two matches one has played to a player that played a whole season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
