Yeah its true..Eto'o has been fortunate this season. He doesnt have the agility he used to, nor the shooting technique, but he is often in the right place at the right time. In fact..perhaps this is why we aren't scoring as much. We are placing more of an emphasis on defence because teams are coming at us (something they didnt do in the first half of the season) which means our forwards drop deep. Therefore attacks start from near the centre circle, and often eto'o is the one involved. He does not have the dribble-then-shoot ability that he used to, he chokes when he gets to goal. Most of his goals have come from a cross being put into the box or a goal mouth scramble.
I first started getting concerned when he made the miss against shakhtar when he was through one-on-one and completely scuffed it. Henry seems to be more composed in front of goal.
