It feels like a pity on his part because now he's beginning to question his abilities compared to when he played for Liverpool. You have AVB coming out saying that he's still considered a £50m player, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to the chemistry of the team. Maybe it was the chemistry at Liverpool that Torres was used to, and it was that which helped him score goals and gain him worldwide recognition, thus getting regular starts in the Spanish team... suddenly, you're playing for a different team in a different city with a different sense of chemistry altogether, and suddenly, you don't get that worldwide recognition because you're not scoring goals... But as you so rightly say, it's the Barcelona backbone which helps Spain along. You have Villa and Pedro up front for them, with Xavi and Iniesta tendering the puppet strings every match, and it seems to work wonders for them... and where does that leave Torres?? ... in this case, warming a cold seat in the dugout!

A truely remarkable achievement for this forum, to which I give massive congratulations! As a regular member since 2007, I'm thankful to all the admins and mods that have been able to keep us all together for this amount of time! Well done to all of you

Horrible news! I wouldn't be surprised if there was something like a special silence before the game

Oh wow!

If Torres scores against Liverpool, I will clean shave myself for the next 3 weeks!!

LMAO what a twat!! All Arsenal players are indeed twats, but this... WOW!

welcome to the forums dude!

I agree 100% .. the way both of them play is very similar, and we all know that similarity equals zero! I would love it however, if Torres scored against Liverpool!

He boasts pace to be a winger though! I mean, much as I hate to bring it up, but look at the way he sliced through our defence at the Bridge... the thing is however, Walcott seems to be a big game player, but when the smaller teams come to down, he tends to wind down, and his pace doesn't mean that much! I agree with you on Sturridge however, but the only reason why we are marauding him as a winger is because we have a £50m striker we're playing up front, as well as Drogba, who is sitting on the bench... plus, 4-4-2 (diamond), as we all know, never works at our club because the opposition just walks all over us!

He looks really good actually! If he does play at RB as some people say, then get rid of Bosingwa, and get this lad!

Well done Kez! Fully deserved... a true stalwart to the Talk Chelsea community

The fact that I am now a day away from my graduation day!

That sounds terrible Spike! Hope everything gets better for you! Thankfully, I've been able to stay away from major illnesses! I guess you could say the closest illness I've come to know is the common cold, but that's nothing compared to some of the major illnesses people tend to get!

I'll second that!

And a dose of:

welcome to the forums dude!

I agree with Alex here, and I would add to that the actual fee of the player as well! I feel there would be some pressure on a player whom the club have paid a lot of money for. Not only would he expect to make the fans of the club happy, but also, if he's a well-known player like Torres, you would have to try and get the media off your back, and the media can be a real pain, and can sometimes damage confidence!

This is dispicable! If I was a toon fan I'd be disgusted! Mike Ashley is a complete cunt and has no idea what he's doing... in all fairness, he should have left them years ago!

I've never had a nosebleed.. I guess you could say I've been lucky, but what actually causes them besides the symptoms already listed??

Petr Cech with a swollen nose and doing the stuff that he did on the pitch deserves my vote! He is a fucking warrior, and more importantly, a Chelsea legend!
