give him the run and the confidence he needs... hell get that in january... stop being so negative about one our players, its sick... 50 mil pounds to leave in a year??? no way, he still has alot left to show us...

you know what? fuck it, hope dd and torres gets the start... fuck everyones tactics and plans up... shake up the premier league!!!

aside from his steps back, torres has had more games looking better than DD... maybe not consistant, but the team wasnt consistant...

i can think of many matches where torres tore up the opposition, sunderland, swansea, man utd, valencia, genk, just to name a few, and with all the new signings and tactics, it was going to take awhile before everyone settled in, even when drogba was our CF some games it looked TERRIBLE (and dont say otherwise)... now we have mata getting more and more used to the system and danny making those blistering runs, along with now our mostly settled starters in midfield that el nino never had then when everyone was trying to settle... i still remember torres having like 15 minutes against newcastle and having an assist and could of had a goal if danny would pass which he only seems to do when didier is in... i just dont get it... has he performed like we all dreamt? no... is he done for this club yet? no...

with all the havoc torres caused last meeting, he needs to start this match, or be given SUBSTANTIAL minutes

mark my words, when danny is able to look up and make a great pass, like he shouldve to drogba and torres after making a great run; thats when danny will be one of the greats, messi like (i know thats a stretch) but he has a great shot and if he can become a TEAM player, why not? with him and mata making clever runs and passing, that is just eye candy for our two forwards... and very helpful being that both of them are a bit out of form to say the lest... hope they work on this in practice... tired of seeing drogba stop making his run and walk, when danny has the ball in the box, and torres to make a run slightly like the old and not get any notice... we can be GREAT, thats just my one bit of criticism, but it is small... go blues

Being a HUGE Torres supporter, I feel that maybe it is necessary for him to be on the bench for a bit, forces him to WANT to play more and make a difference rather than having things handed to him... He'll come good, you can see it... Deserves more minutes though But I feel pretty soon he'll be our #1striker for the long run... Go blues!

guess we'll never see the Torres drogba combo again...

this may be dumb but how about we run a five DB formation 5-3-2 cole-terry-luiz-alex-ivan danny---lamps----mata ----drogba----torres---- reasons for this... and hear me out... 1. luiz can finally advance down the field without sacrificing our back line, and he can come back and play defender which is good for our back line.. 2. gives danny more room to advance up and play whatever he wants to do 3. give that torres drogba a go... i think its time for AVB to TRY it... lukaku just doesnt have the pace for that thats why it didnt work against, liverpool... 4. make torres and drogba work together cause they both want to start, so it would be smart for them to WANT to work together to be that striking duo that everyone DREAMED of...

ok, AVB needs to sit down with the team and (as much as you guys are going to hate this) call torres their #1 striker and the one for the future... the games he has played in (other than yesterday which is a totally different story) had all been really good team wise, he gets everyone involved and is only lacking that final ball... thats what torres thrived in at liverpool, and all the final balls hes been played have all been goals, man utd. swansea, genk... all beautiful passes... and not only that, torres has set up some amazing ones as well, like when he is charging up midfield and curving a pass in between defenders 30 yards out... brilliant... he needs to stay up front and poach like the good ol days, its not that hes not trying... just not trying in what made torres, EL NINO... believe me, he isnt done.. and you all can see glimpses of it every game, even a bad one... 100% behind him... he is chelsea's #9...

fuck off!!!

i would have to say that no one played terrible, EVERYONE looked out of sync... lukaku doesnt have the pace to be a winger... terrible first touch... all the balls played to our forwards were shit, right to their feet when they were surrounded by scousers... formation revamp or midfield revamp, idk where to start first.... wouldnt really say torres had a bad game, judging that he never touched the ball... the whole team lacked confidence and it showed right from kick off... back to the drawing board... Cole Terry Luiz Ivan --------Romeu------- Mata--Lamps---Danny ---Drogs---Torres--- yet to try the drogba torres combo in the regular season.. showed a little glimmer in preseason... all i know is that with this formation (except essien for romeu) i kill people in fifa!!!!! hahahahaha! go blues!

like to see the new camaraderie between them... hahaha good stuff

1145 pst!! living here in california, use the chelsea fc fixture calendar and its is cool enough to have a sync feature with gmail calendar, and my phone has the same... but anyways, 1145 on the dot! go blues!

theres so many people who can say they hate torres because he doesnt score, but if i dont recall, our record when torres starts is alot better than another striker up front this season in retrospect... drogba is still world class and a chelsea legend, but i KNOW im not the only one who jumps to the edge of my seat when he (torres) gets the ball in the box... he is out of "perfect" form but still exciting to watch... and have you seen his passing lately??? another reason why he is the most complete foward on our team (aside from the "winger", danny) make arguments about how a forward needs to score but he has been REALLY impressive in setting up goals... its just a matter of time now, hes doing so much better this season.. he just need confidence from AVB... i still have loads of faith in him because the excitement hasnt left him... go blues

i just hope torres doesnt feel that much disgruntled with AVB and chelsea... i hope hearing the chelsea fans gives him goosebumps and makes him want to keep on... he can and will be great in blue... no idea why we arent playing him when DD hasnt had TWO good games... we are behind you nando...

are you kidding me (again)... first time ive been embarrassed to be a chelsea fan... wow... im speechless...

alright, well thats just plain stupid... if torres doesnt start on this weekend................................ i admit drogba has had a few sparks, but when we are trying to build his confidence and the team for torres, its dumb for him to play 12 mins against his team he is trying to prove things too and in the champions league where he has been brilliant.... ffs...

no wonder torres is out of form, in liverpool he had to confidence to know he was the starter and believed that... AVB now just throws him on a rollercoaster ride... id be out of form too...

omfg, second that motion!!! wtf?!?!?!?!?!?

yeah thats bull... dont even, playing for 12 mins as a striker??? and playing with malouda?! hahaha! just a bad move by AVB stick to your "team" man... dont bash the man... just means torres will play 90 in CL... cant wait... go blues!

are you kidding me??? knew this game was downhill the minute the team sheet was released... stop effin with the lineups AVB! solidify starters and build a formation!!!!

miereles on, mikel off... malouda off, torres on... we need SOMETHING... its almost becoming humiliating... its not even a game i want to watch ffs... come on AVB, shouldve stuck to your guns, then trying to be the "crafty" manager...

good words from AVB, always nice for publicly having your manager back you... and you can tell AVB really does... torres to shine on sunday, in more ways than one... now time to sit back and watch the torres show, cant wait!

if you want to score goals, malouda needs to start the game on the bench... anelka and torres seem to be on the same page, and if you throw a little mata in there we should create alot of chances... cant wait for this game need to keep a clean sheet and get torres many chances early so he gets that little extra boost...
