Giroud contributed more in 50 minutes than our front three did in 90 minutes v the Spuds .... just what Chelski needed ....

It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that West Brom are bottom of the league and Spurs are a Top 4 team.

Not so much .... he was used as a target man to knock down and recycle the ball, a role he's played his entire career .... that's called tactics and it works against any side to a greater or lesser degree .... it's how Conte likes to play, and it made Chelsea look a 100% better team ....

What were the tactics for our front three on Saturday? anyone have a clue?

Has Aguero passed Bergkamp on the greatest forwards in PL history list?

He's getting up there tbh.

Bergkamp was a number 10, Aguero is a number 9.

Who's better Cech or Terry? Futile comparing them.

Cech is a keeper, Terry is a defender.

Bergkamp and Aguero are both forwards.

Bergkamp was not a no.10 like Ozil or Silva, he was literally a second striker.

Granted, his role wasn't exactly the same as an out and out striker but the comparison can still be made.

im going on pure ability. cole would also be around where shearer & van nistelrooy is. Rooney is arguably England's best ever player, at his peak he was simply unstoppable. we wont have a talent like him again for ages

do like shearer as a player, but pure finishers have never been my forte
