It seems to me that he can do whatever he want. Some people comment on him like they don´t want him to do good. I think that everyone at the games is supporting and cheering for him. Why are the keyboard warriors ripping him to shreds after every game if he didn´t score 2 goals and bags 3 assists and blame him on the hefty price tag. He doesn´t owe us anything. He didn´t put up "I am worth 50 million quid". It was Chelsea who got ripped off by Liverpool trying to sign their hero away from them. He gives everything for the team. If it is not happening for him it is bad enough because it´s not happening for the team playing then as well. So instead of making all this worse by creating this hype talk around like "he is shit, he owes us, he is the biggest flop in the history of mankind (drama-ridden overexegartion at it´s best. what does it even mean ? as if the humankind would care if a player is a flop)" we should support him even though it is strange to do that behind the computer/tv. At least try to be reasonable on a messageboard. But I guess I am just oldschool asking for patience or reason.

come on, it doesn't Mata

Torres gets more love but also more hate. So stop complaining like pathetic children because it all evens itself out

haha SO true. Quite funny really. People dont want him to do well. The drogba example is perfect.
"Drogba may not have done too much in the game, but when it mattered most, he scored. LEGEND."
He is a legend, but Torres did exactly that yesterday, but he was crap, and it was offside, lucky goal,,,, OMFG, give him a break.
Many here were saying that this is a make or break season for torres this season, and i agreed, but now that he is making rather than breaking, people are hellbent on rubbishing him already.
This is a make or break SEASON, not 3 games, in which it just happens to be that hes got 2 goals already.

Ok, he was anonymous for large periods of the game, but at least now he's getting the service he didn't had before. He maybe had 3 clear chances on goal and could even had more. He also showed he actually can create for himself with that fancy nutmeg in the box. How short in confidence is that?The header in the end of the first half was a must, perfect ball from Hazard. True, he did some bad one touch passes, but he just hasn't the technical ability to play one touch football in tight positions. He needs space, but against Reading having the lead at the Bridge, he won't get any.
It's over now with the excuses of not getting service though, if he gets 2 or 3 chances per game, he must score. Luckily, he scored a decisive one and also participated in the perfect build up to the goal. At last he's not being out of luck after all the shots in the posts and all the penalty claims.

Didier obviously doesn't approve his new manager(or whoever this man is)

He'll always get abused here, even if he scored 50 goals next season it'll be "he scored 5 against Sunderland, 4 against Southampton and 3 against Norwich which anyone can do"
He won the Golden boot in a huge tournament, he played probably not even the equivalent of 2 whole games yet he still got the golden boot ahead of so many great players and made a huge impact in the FINAL against a team like Italy. ffs if he played every game he might've got 6 goals and 3 assists. He was good in every match when he was there.
Loved his assist for Mata too, was a truly wonderful moment which i personally loved as a Chelsea fan.

Torres wins the FA Cup, CL, Euro2012, and Euro Golden Boot?

Really impressed me in the Euros and so so glad cause he'd been made out to be the scapegoat.Whoever was in charge of the cameras must have been confused of who was Captain..or just liked him cause every oppountity they showed him!Even at the end showing him walking around..kinda hmmmmm

Defender of the tournament put his body in front of everything as he always does & motm for me tonight. There's only one England captain!

We wait so long to become Champions of Europe, 8 years to be precise, JT captained us through every single one of them campaigns through all the hurt, bad luck and pain. We finally win the fucking thing, JT has to sit & watch it (okay through his own stupid fault) like we do, go through everything us as fans do. We win it & JT is criticised for celebrating with his team mates, he's the captain he should be up there he's contributed to this campaign as much as he does every season. For fuck sake give the guy a fucking break for once in his life, he gets a hard enough time from the English media, seems some of you are allowing them to influence you. The guy is our captain, our leader, our legend & a european champion.
We're european champions just chill out and enjoy it.

why? because as you said, JT as a footballer is a God and that is what we, as Chelsea supporters should judge him on. Not what others or the general population may think of him. I couldn't care less what the media writes about him (not having a go at you, just saying), all I know is he is a club legend and he wears his heart on his sleeve. Like other footballers, he is prone to the occasional brain fade. However, the amount of crap some of the so called fans on this forum are giving him for celebrating the CL triumph is absolutely disgraceful.

Incredible some of the anti-terry garbage.
The adulation for him on match days is fantastic by the fans, and is reciprocated by him -he is a fans man, and true fans should in turn be grateful instead of swayed by dodgy journalism.

Everyone had a part to play in our UCL triumph and everyone deserved to go up and lift the trophy, we didn't win the UCL just playing 1 game, we won it because of 13 games.
Kalou got a vital goal at Benfica and was trusted as our LW throught the later stages
Meireles got the killer against Benfica in the 2nd leg
Torres killed off Barcelona and won the corner in the final, plus scored 2 vs Genk as well as a great assist for Kalou's winner in Benfica.
Terry got the 2nd goal against Napoli and defended fantastically in all the games, especially Barca at the bridge.
Mikel was immense since around February, excelled against Barca and Bayern
Lampard scored the 2 crucial penalties and set up Ramires' stunning goal in the Nou Camp.
Ramires scored 'that' goal in the Camp Nou just minutes after getting a yellow card that would rule him out of the final.
Drogba was just immense throughout, so glad it was him with that winning penalty and equaliser. Written in the stars.
Cech as well, back to his best in the UCL, fantastic in the Semi's and final and saved the pens in the final shootout from Olic and Schweinsteiger as well as Robben's pen in Extra Time. Fuck it, i'm changing my MOTM to him in that thread... Sorry Dids.
Bosingwa, was needed in a tough situation at CB at the nou camp after Cahill and Terry had gone off. He put in one hell of a gutsy shift and was also good in the final.
Ivanovic, again immense. He scored the crucial goal against Napoli and played with so much heart in Barca after his booking
Cahill, what a few months for him. Brilliant in the home leg against Barca and to be out for 2 months and come back in the UCL Final to play like that? Unbelievable.
Luiz, same as Cahill, got injured months before the final but battled and battled and made it back for the UCL Final. He got injured again after 10 minutes of the final but just kept going and was exceptional and scored a wonderful pen in the shootout.
Cole, back to his best in every UCL game, an absolute animal in those KO rounds, still the best LB in the world. Also scored the vital pen in the shootout, expertly.
Mata, what a signing. Bit quiet in the later UCL games as we were putting the emphasis on defending the goal rather than attacking theirs but when needed, his corner was delivered perfectly to Drogba's head and the rest they say, is history.
Malouda, Sturridge and Essien didn't feature much and i dunno if i missed anyone out lol.
I know this is in the John Terry thread and maybe should be in the UCL final thread but i'm just pointing out that it's a team game, a team effort and a team success. JT played his part and was rightfully up there to collect the trophy even if he did a mad thing at the Nou Camp. Maybe it benefited us in the long run anyway lol, we got through, didn't we? After all the hurt from '04, i'd've been gutted to never see JT (Cole, Lamps, Cech and Drogs too of course) never lift that trophy. It woulda ate at me forever. Let's just be thankful that no matter the circumstances, we've seen it happen so enjoy it.

It's incredible...Terry might be a complete prick in real life. Quite frankly, I don't really care. He's a Chelsea legend and has been a great captain. He has played over 500 matches with Chelsea and has been a dominant player for us and a key to almost all of our success. Even last season, he was still easily our best central defender. If you want to play the "let's get rid of him because he's a dick" game, Chelsea (and all top teams) would be screwed.

I'm disgusted to stand alongside some of you as fellow Chelsea supporters.
JT, Captain Leader Legend.

It's a tricky thing for Torres.
A part of me wants him to go, but another part wants him to stay, because i think he still has something special to give.

So, you missed it when Chelsea fans boo other players? Nobody has ever booed Sturridge or Drogba or Mikel or Malouda or Kalou or even Drogba? All of whom contributed more to Chelsea that Torres has. This is not about supporting players or not supporting players. We all support any player who plays for Chelsea. This is about the absurd amount of love that a player who has been awful for us gets. Nobody here has Kezman or Bogarde or Chris Sutton as their avatar. Nobody bangs on and on about how Claudio Pizzaro was secretly amazing despite his stats and just needed to be surrounded by world-class talent to show his true class. The level of support for Torres is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in football. He consistently gets more love for Chelsea fans than any other player and it just makes no sense. (My best guess is that Torres is "an icon"-he's on posters and video games and what not, so he will always get support no matter his form, especially from younger fans. I assume it's the same for someone like Beckham. I really have no other explanation.) And talking about Chelsea pride? He is the worst transfer in Chelsea history, he's the highest paid player on the club, been historically awful, and he's complained on more than one occasion. If people were writing "I think Torres will turn it around this season" it's a valid position to take, but the "Torres has been good for us" or even "Torres played well at all" is just nonsense. And the idea that if you don't love Torres, you don't love Chelsea, is backwards. I want what's best for Chelsea and I don't think Torres is what's best. You want what's best for Torres even if it's not what's best for Chelsea.

He needs a good Euro's, a good pre season and a 20-goal season. I'm more confident now than i was 6 months ago. Torres' Chelsea career starts next season.

Forget last season and move on, last season is over, it's happened, it wont change. Ffs Kalou was our main winger under RDM, the most hopeless cunt in our entire history and we played some pretty awful football at times which didn't suit Torres at all. Next season will be different, with Mata and Hazard and Ramires/New signing maybe Hulk.... He will have so much more chance to score and create goals for the strikers. There were numerous times last season where Sturridge, Kalou or Malouda coulda played him in but were greedy or not good enough and didn't bother.
Lets just be glad that at this present moment, he's looking a lot better than he was 12 months ago. Now Drogba has gone, he knows he's the man now. It's his time now as the main man in a fresh new young Chelsea team. He has every chance to shine.
We all know his Chelsea career hasn't taken off and he's had a nightmare but we also know he's only 28 and he's proven to be world class and i will back him and back him because i know what he can do. I reckon he's got 3 seasons left at his peak, i hope we can see the real Torres shine now that the Drogba factor has gone. He knew he was our 2nd choice striker and he was under so much pressure to do well.
Wish ppl would just stop the negative comments and give the guy a chance. A fresh start. We're European Champions, just chill and be happy.

Petr sure is talented man
