He's basically good enough to be a backup and nothing else, we need a quality striker to play regularly.

As of three games ago (can't find updated stats), Ba had a worse conversion rate than everyone's favourite 'clinical' striker Fernando Torres.

Yep.

Endless chances are a thing of the past.

In fact the chances are so rare, when one is missed, even if half a chance, it is blown up out of massive proportion.

Endless chances :lol:

Talk to me after you've watched one of our games.

Sorry, who's played out of position?

Ah those heady days where we'd create multiple chances a game and sometimes even have more than 3 shots on target. :cloud9:

The thing about the stats is they don't tell you where the chances were, how far from goal etc there's no context so they don't really give you a perfectly accurate picture of one players performance vs another.

We can talk about Giroud however as we've seen him miss a host of chances in matches, chance he should have put away.

Stats :haha:

I thought people would have stopped using those the minute it showed us having the best defence in the league a few months back.

so he converts more from less, gets more shots on goal and still manages to score 50% less than ba. sounds like a man at the top of his game.
