Samuel Eto'o

For a player nearing the ripe old age of 33, the Cameroonian is still a rather sprightly one. He has the touch, he has the composure, and although he has lost the pace that he was once renowned for, he holds a high level of creativity and it's helped the Chelsea playmakers immensely. We saw that against Newcastle at the weekend  when his back flick set up Eden Hazard, but he still isn't scoring enough goals.

The former Barcelona player has scored six goals this term but I feel as though he should be at least in double figures in terms of league games.

During the clash with West Brom he was up against Craig Dawson and Gareth McAuley, which on paper seems like a simple enough task, but the pair bossed Eto'o throughout and he was unable to get any real space.

He had three shots at goal but never really threatened, and he was very wasteful in possession, so with Fernando Torres making his return the perhaps he could step in.
