Mourinho ponders on his misfiring Chelsea strikers

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been talking about his strike options of Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba in a season which has seen a distinct lack of goals from the trio. "We have three strikers which is the perfect number. Sometimes I like two on the bench, sometimes I like to play with two. All of them are getting minutes and matches and they are all working very well for the team.

"But the number of goals in the Premier League is not what I want or what they want - that is obvious. Between them they have four goals but strikers also live on other things and they are giving me other things, no doubt. But we have to try to improve and wait for better days to score more goals and feel happier."
