I stand by what I said. We’ll see if he’s ultimately good enough to be the main man for them competing for major trophies.Name and shame
Tammy Abraham - Roma Striker

- Start date
Hold my hands up, I thought he wasn’t good enough. Proving me wrong now
Tariq Lamptey looked the business in that game, and the 20th century was completely unknown to him. Brighton team was not very strong as their team of the previous U23 season had gone out on loan or were in the first team squad. The standard of the PL2 under 23 league is not very strong.
Isn't that a little harsh on him? He's only just turned 19 so he's younger than most of your other youth players that are ranked above him due to having successful loans. He was just behind CHO for the 2000 generation.
Anyone can score a hat trick and an own goal away at Wolves.
It's more how highly I rate the current generation as opposed to any knock against George.
Andreas Christensen?
In that moment I was thinking more of who was about and potentially available to us in 15/16. AC had a locked two year loan while iirc Ake had a January recall option and Loftus was obviously with us that year.
Not getting too excited yet. Obviously isnt as bad as many made out to be, but I remember Morata scoring a hat trick at Stoke and everyone thought that was his breakthrough moment, didn't happen. Took his goals really well but let's see if he can stay consistent throughout the season in the PL and this isnt a hot streak.
One game does not make a strikerName and shame
When were all these posts made?Name and shame
He's scored as many as our front 3 combined. He ain't bad, contrary to what caftards were telling you after that game in August.
Incredible start to the season from 'championship' strikers, the likes of Abraham, Pukki, James...Championship is a quality league.

Better than Rashford and I can say that with confidence this early.
This season.
That third goal was class, did the defender like a prime Torres. The fact that he's got that in his locker gives him a lot of promise.
Who knew players from one of the most successful academy in the world would be good. Shows how weak previous Chelsea managers have been by not playing them.
Was like watching Drogba. Poor first touch, holds the defender off, beats with a feint, bangs into bottom corner.
No need for early predictions. Both are very different players.
Besides we could have 2 wins and two losses after our next game, so we are not there yet.
The next Lukaku of Romelu
I didn't think he'd be good enough to start for a top 6 team but glad he's doing well and I hope it continues for him.
Met him earlier this year on holiday too and he's a really nice guy.

I am delighted he's coming into form just before playing Liverpool. He has improved drastically from the start of the season, I felt like he only had half of the no 9's qualities against us. His movement and hold up play has always been impressive, but now he's finding the net with a variety of goals. Exciting times for Chelsea.
Based on 3 games?
Read that he’s like 3 goals away from Rashford’s best ever season and we’re still in September
The Taminator.
Also 3 behind Sane's and equal to Bernado Silva best ever seasonsRead that he’s like 3 goals away from Rashford’s best ever season and we’re still in September
Apt tagline
Sshh its much more fun to use it to ridicule Man Utd playersAlso 3 behind Sane's and equal to Bernado Silva best ever seasons
Based on...?
I'll be honest I didn't put too much stock into him scoring against Norwich or Sheffield United given we know he can score against Championship opposition because he did it last season for Villa but a hattrick away to Wolves? Impressive
I'm more impressed with his all round play.
I knew he had goals in him but while I didn't have him down as the clown some did the level of link up play and technical quality he's shown so far I genuinely thought was beyond his ceiling.
Couldn’t give a feck about him unless he does the right thing and plays for Nigeria.

They're both 22, it's the first time they've both been the indisputable main men at the respective clubs (Rashford sort of sharing that with Martial), surely it's fairer to compare them (if we must) by the current season?
Rashford: 16 games, 8 goals, 3 assists
Abraham: 17 games, 11 goals, 2 assists
Yeah the comparison should be between Abraham and Martial seeing as Martial is actually our striker, Rashford’s exclusively a winger when Martial’s fit.
I kinda don’t get why they’re comparing it to past seasons either when Rashford looks well on course to beat his current highest season anyway.
For years the mere thought of Tammy being compared favorably was universally laughed at.
While i do agree with what you're saying, we were always going to have a bit of fun with this stat.
Suddenly looks like a top class striker his numbers and metrics are outstanding.
Rashford: 3 pens
Abraham: 0 pens
I dont like this comparison though. Different types of players.

Never understood the reasoning behind comparing strikers still playing, the fact is Abraham is playing in a team currently 2nd in the table, Rashford is playing in a team 14th in the table, yet there's not a huge amount between them, three goals in all comps.
10 5 in the league with 3? of rashfords 5 penalties
Chelsea fans pointing out penalties without which Hazard numbers would be on par with average played and Lampard loses close to 60 goals.
I'll start bringing up Cantona's "non-penalty" numbers in a minute!
