now that looked like the old Torres, let's not get our hopes too high tho

we're looking sharp as a razor

God, I love derbies! COME ON YOU BLUES! WE KNOW WHO WE ARE!

sorry for off-topic, but I'd say that Cech save from that penalty caused by Drogba was more important :x

"Johnny, take care of him.."

we're not playing with a false #9, we are playing with no #9. don't care how many excuses you make for him, whether it's him running or making a space. he just doesn't give a fuck. when he doesn't get a ball he shrugs his arms and goes around as if he got beaten by the manager. he doesn't provide any threat, nor goals, he shouldn't be anywhere near our team. he won't be a legend, he won't score goals from nothing, he's finished.

I, for example, love the "he is ready to take after Drogba and lead us into a succesful season" bit.

Wait, so if he has three players on his back he is supposed to stand near them like he always does? Because when I play football, I try to take away my cover so that my mates have a free space to run into. I guess it doesn't work that way for our wonder Fernando that the whole football community is trying to stop. It's so sad that there is a huge group of fans that would rather Torres to score a fluke rather than us win a game. Btw. is the a video editor on the forum that would sacrifice himself to make a video of Torres performances in all games this season? I know it's a hard task but it's an only way to show his attitude and overall gameplay.

Let's be real, he made horrible mistakes that led to the 2nd goal yesterday and made a horrible pass in that QPR match. I still think he is the key player for us, love the way he turns players around and is safe to pass, if only he had a second defensive midfielder, like how Meireles played, he would blossomed.

no, you must be wrong, team must've gave him more support than to our martyr Fernando

shut up, Spike, mikel be bad, he no tiote, no aggresive! you know no football!

it's such a pity that talkchelsea is now focusing more on posters than actual posts and topics. it's like what southpark said about chatroulette, to get something valuable you have to go through a lot of dicks first.

I thought he wasn't at the list didn't see that, thanks

what about Bruma?

Hulk has won Europe League and also Portugese League, Portugese Cup and Super Cup all of them thrice. Do you mean that in order to be proved you have to win anything in either Spain or England? Why do you discredit leagues that only differ from the others by the amount of money that attracts both better players and victories? Maybe by spending so much Zenit will try to go for some major trophy? And if you looked at the table that Eviltwinz posted Russian league is currently better than the Netherlands' one which consists of great football clubs like Ajax, PSV or Feyenoord. Besides Zenit is building quite an awesome squad including the likes of Criscito, Bruno Alves and Danny.

when a player leaves to a league that's not very popular to promote it for money you're saying he's a cunt, but when he goes for money to a good league it's all good. double standards at it's best. do you guys remember that guy from the team that won CL last year who went to China? what was his name?

hahahha nothing like another knee-jerk reaction at TC because guy who had approx. 3-5 good games and a very good last one is leaving. reading this you would have thought we sold john terry to polish league. you always wanted to see the youngsters play and when we loaned essien who would just take their place and who is both with meireles rather old, you're now screaming for robbie's head.

from what i recall he didn't have a proper break for a few season now, so imagine working hard basically every day and giving everything you have at least 1-2 a week. it can destroy your body.

yea, everyone is terrible after a bad game. ffs

I might be called a straight hater but I just had enough. I will criticize him in every match and it's not because he doesn't score goals like he was supposed to, it's because he simply doesn't give a fuck. I feel sorry now for Kalou because I also abused him, but looking at the past at least he was trying, not good enough, but always happy to play and score goals, even the flucky ones. I think that today showed what a true striker is capable of. Running for the ball, not hiding behind defenders and rising arms, controlling the ball, making turns, helping team-mates all across the field. I supported Torres since the day he signed, always believed he will explode here and score goals left and right like he used to in Liverpool. Then he couldn't score his first goal and we started to blame Carlo for playing him against those northern cunts. We became a laughing stock for spending money we could easily buy 2 to 3 strikers if we only looked deeper in the market (best examples is Newcastle scouting or the Porto one). But we supported him anyway, always singing that he was our number nine despite the fact he didn't accomplish anything. All he offered was his name and history of great performances. Than the West Ham goal came, it was lucky because of the rain but Stamford Bridge and all of us exploded like as if we progressed to some kind of a final. Many of us, including myself, started to be happy only because Torres was in the line-up, forgeting about the Legends who later turned out to be vital. There always was something lacking, or at least that's how we tried to cheer ourselves after yet another disappointing performance of our no 9. We blamed the luck, team-mates (especially Drogba and Malouda), manager or him not getting enough service. What we came up with was a team focused on satysfying one player, even making transfer to help him, blaming players like Lampard for not thanking Nando when the ball came to him after that wonder scissor-kick strike, and yet there is still something missing. I remember the 24 hours on the pitch when he couldn't score a goal, and I do remember his assists and occasional goals later on, even the burst of joy of that goal against Barcelona. We went as far as crediting him for our CL success only because he earned one corner kick. But looking at the wider picture, all the assists and all the goals were good enough for a squad player. We chose Fernando Torres to be our leading man when in fact he didn't deserve to be even starting. Last year was one of his most succesful seasons, but he didn't even contribute much in neither CL, FA Cup nor Euro victory. He was simply lucky. It's his third season for Chelsea, and our third season hoping he will, after almost two years, start to play at least slightly as good as other stikers. And he is the most expensive player in Premier League history. He should be sold and it's not because he's not getting on the scoring sheet, but because he simply doesn't have the hunger, nor a will to fight the whole match anymore. His goal against Newcastle came only because of his anger at the referee. If we want to be succesful we need to have a squad capable of creating that little piece of magic. Fernando Torres does not supply us with such thing. I hope we survive somehow come January and realize that we chose the wrong man. If he proves me wrong, I will be the first one to admit my misjudgement, but as the things stand I opt for giving a chance to younger striker on the bench who proved to be capable of scoring.

he was one of the better players out there, if it wasnt for lamps and brana running like headless chicken we would came out differently

So, Torres cant do anything on his own? Does Mata wipe his ass as well? bench him and teach him football from the basics.

WIN OR LOSE, UP THE BLUES!

do we have any player in our team that can actually use both feet except for terry?

just when we thought our cl victory will change everything. reality check i guess.
