Coach Jose Mourinho said after
the loss Chelsea 1 - zero at home to Everton on Saturday that his team's
failure to score for the second game in a row in the English Premier League
football due to the lack of strikers far from their level the scoring sense.
The Portuguese coach bemoaned the
lack of finishing touch after making many opportunities and control to play
against Everton after a goalless draw in their previous league match against
Manchester United.
This is the fourth time in five
games in all competitions this season Chelsea attackers fails in scoring and
goals the team scored by midfielders.
While Chelsea scored six goals in
total the goal in the loss of Fernando Torres Chelsea on penalties in the
European Super Cup match against Bayern Munich remains, the only one who scored
one of the strikers.
Samuel Eto'o was a newcomer -
contracted by Chelsea coming from the Russian Angie at the end of the transfer
window – last of who played in the lone striker Center on Saturday, but did not
give a better performance than his predecessors and missed many opportunities.
Cameroon striker blasted a header
over the bar after a cross from Ramirez after five minutes and then Gareth Barry
tried to shoot to an open goal in front of him and blasted away from the net in
another opportunity at the beginning of the second half.
Mourinho said that the blame for
the defeat is not on Eto'o, before adding that the performance of the team
explained the lack of a specific attribute.
The Portuguese coach told
reporters, "I do not think it is a matter of strength, but perhaps there
was no sense of scoring in this game."
"In the second half there
was a cross from Ivanovic to Eto'o at the near post ... he has made 100 of these goals in his
career. Samuel was a striker in front of goal throughout his career."
Mourinho's decision illustrates
the contract with Eto’o and then pushes him directly that he hopes to become
Cameroonian striker player who depends on him, as was Didier Drogba during his
first term as a coach for the club.
Eto'o was in the winning the
Champions League in 2010 of squad Inter under the leadership of Mourinho but
now 32-year-old and became close to the end of his career.
And Chelsea try to contract
conducted more famous with Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney during the
summer and may seek to renew his attempt in January.
