Fernando Torres

[Tomo 21,681]

HIs finishing was a worry tonight, but his all round game in the last couple of matches has been fantastic.

Finishing was poor today but work rate and link up were fantastic. Anyone else love watching Torres, Oscar and co in and around the penalty box? They are getting to know how each other move/play

As a striker, if you aren't going to score you better damn well make sure you put in a good shift. Torres did that today. Poor finishing, but excellent link-up play and a tireless performance.

he did everything right today except for scoring

he did everything right today except for scoring

the shortest and the best analysis for nando's game today.

had a hand in 3 out of the 4 goals we scored. work rate was good but finishing not so much. but a good game none the less.

[OneMoSalah 8,613]

Good overall play, poor finishing. Thought he'd get a goal or two tonight.

In our last champions league game, i was impressed with torres

1. Got behind the defence and how he started his runs from deeper(making his team mates to see his runs in time) instead of starting runs beside the defender and getting offside.

Maybe its because of a better understanding with oscar too as well as mata.

2. He also got better with holding the ball without loosing it. (example was ramires goal, former torres will lose the ball before oscar can get it)

3. He also reduced dribbling stupidly and loosing possesion

I have a feeling dimatteo has recognised this and told him because dimatteo recognised the problem in the double pivot too and put ramires there.

I just pray he doesnt take another confidence fall again and loses form for 10 matches before recovering because i cant take anymore of that.

Overall im happier with his movement now, its just left with better finishing, confidence to shoot and staying away from the wings.

What do you think

How many times have we said 'Torres is improving in this Area, he now needs to work on that area'. Its gotten old.

[Beirut_Blues 306]

Good to see some words supporting Torres.

He'll come good that's for sure.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

These kind of topics and discussions just make me sick. Really...

The pace won't ever fully come back but he can still be a highly productive striker in this team. His problem is that he could score a hat trick against Norwich and follow it up with a brace against Donesk but a miss the following weekend will still see him go into his shell,sulking

He's still working hard for team, he wants to get the ball which is why he goes out wide to get it sometimes,but that also means no one is in the middle trying to make a run.

I think he could score 20 goals this season for us and the media would still label him a failure.

He gets out of position quite a bit, I remember when against Nords the many times we attempted quick passing around and in the box and Torres was even behind the Hazataoscar trio, he was basically in holding MF, he needs to stay at the front.

I know torres has been bad. But i cant say i dont want him to do well and improve. I truly have a soft spot for him as a chelsea fan and naturally want all our players to be good.

Of course but there's only so many times you can get your hopes up about the 'return' of Torres. If he keeps scoring though I may change my mind down the track.

your right, he tries to get the ball too much. But with our new possesion based players, he wont have that problem soon enough i hope. The main issue is him losing possesion and falling down which spoils our play and makes our players reduce passing to him.

If he can fix dat, then he's good. I really like how he takes the shot these days instead of just trying to dribble into the post
