Ba - first outing; how did he do.

[Bloo]

Nice start.

2 goals which was great. Almost a hat trick.

But more importantly, and unlike you know w,ho he positions himself exactly where a CF should be at all times imo.

Keep it up Demba!

 

[Varier2]

He already knows how to play it. Doesn't play at the wings, gets in the box, such good movement. Torres? Watch and learn.

 

[Cech-Headguard]

His second was a really sharp finish did well linking up with Hazard and Mata.

 

[Chelsea Pensioner]

Incredible result for his first outing,when still trying to learn our play. Funny thing is he didn't actually do anything amazing, just put in his chances and stick around where the action was always going to be. Torres seems to put in loads more work , meaning he is often just not "there" when needed.
It's all about positioning really, and speed of thought. Personally I'd like to see us change our 4-2-3-1 line up.

 

[bluemoon2]

I was pretty confident he'd do a job! I wonder if this might perk up pretty boy!

 

[Hoddle is a god]

He was mostly anonymous for large parts of the first half, but was a constant threat in and around the box during the second. That said, the man looks lethal with any sniff of goal, and he can do what Torres used to be able to do, which is get himself running at goal when the ball gets to his feet.

It's hard to judge him on this performance, because Saints were very flat, after the first 25 minutes.
