Perfect game to rotate our squad, will love to give some people a rest so that they can be as fresh as mata is right now. Turnbull Cesar-cahill-terry-betrand Romeu-lampard Moses-mata-marin Sturridge/torres Cech rest your elbow Ivanovic needs a rest Cole needs a freakin rest Mikel needs a freakin rest Luiz needs a freakin rest Ramires needs a freakin rest Hazard needs a bloody rest. Lost a little form compared to the begining of the season. I mean look at mata now... Oscar could come in 2nd half I don't think sturridge is fit yet. But if he is then he shuld play or torres can add to his goal tally for confidence. We need to rest players for this game because we finally have the squad to do that. That's what makes ferguson very good in the premier league, he rotates keeping everyone fresh.(Look at mata's perfomance now) So that 60games can be played among everyone. I don't know what the fuss is about, this squad above is good enough to beat that team, the only problem is lampard in the pivot.

Oscar has a more defensive work rate than mata and hazard. At juventus dimatteo only played him because his job was to mark pirlo. Against arsenal, oscars job was to mark arteta. Arteta had the highest touches per match before meeting chelsea and oscar limited it. In the first half, chelsea bossed arsenal. When oscar was taken off, you could see that arsenal chances started to come. He can't always have both a defensive and offensive good game like juve. Because of his ability to always be available for his teammates for a pass, and his defensive attributes, his presence on the pitch is a massive bonus to chelsea. Not his best game because he lost the ball somtimes, but you can tell they are trying to build his physical game. His defensive work rate is the only reason that RDM can field attacking line-ups of hazard-oscar-mata and we should give credit where its due.

Very good analysis but I think we need width out wide on the right to hurt arsenal. They are good on the ball too, as I've watched their last 3 games. We need moses on the right to replace either mata or oscar. This is where there is a selection headache. Mata is a good one touch player, has the best range of passin in our team and best vision and creates more chances than anyone. Oscar is a one touch player, quick passer(one-two's) and movement. He puts chelsea in control of the game by pressurising opponents off the ball, and comes deep to collect the ball from the defence to start attacks(like xavi). He also offers our threats to score and is often our main threat of scoring when he plays(he can shoot), since torres(neva shoots) is not good enough dese days. I'm really confused among these two who will start but mata's experience should see him start but if we need a goal or need to control the match more, the oscar may come in the second half.

I meant gibbs, I knew pple will pick on that and forget the rest of the comment

RDM has a selection problem. Mata is our best creative force and must play. Ramires has impressed in his recent displays in the center as our best dm and he must play too. Sturridge is not fit so, I'm guessing torres will start. Moses has to start, he has provided chelsea with the width and winger role we have lacked since duff/robben. He will keep gibbs defending back. I don't want gibbs bombarding our flanks. I'm trapped between oscar and hazard but funny enough, I would bring them from the bench instead. Game is too hot for cesar and I want a cahill-terry but I hear terry is not training, so luiz will be in defence. Best line up Ivanovic-cahill-luiz-cole Mikel-ramires Moses-lampard-mata Torres Lampard will defend too like oscar does and provide experience we need. He has also bn rested so I want him behind torres since he is more capable of scoring than torres right now.

I hope the dimatteo has noticed this and had a talk with him because its so obvious and he just needs to stop.

@ BOLD Exactly, when drogba gets the ball, he brings it down, bullies the defender with his strength and fires a ferocious shot or passes to the incoming malouda in the wing. But torres, you just know he is going to fall and lose possesion because he is only looking to dribble instead of linking up with his teammates or creating space and shooting QUICKLY LIKE OSCAR OR LIKE THE LAST GOAL HE SCORED FOR LIVERPOOL AGAINST CHELSEA. God help him the day sturridge gets his chance and plays a lot better, even the chelsea teammates will lose patience with him. He needs to link up with passes instead of dribbling and losing possesion, he is no messi.

Dont get me wrong, i am a serious torres supporter, i was the happiest chelsea supporter when we bought him. But i noticed the difference in style of play compared to liverpool. I dont think its because he was more passionate for liverpool but i think its his confidence. He scored A LOT OF LONG RANGE GOALS for liverpool and at chelsea he is afraid to take a shot. C ronaldo is a more dangerous player because he can shoot from any where and that alone pulls defenders tightly to him to create space for team mates. Torres should watch his liverpool tapes, i know he has lost a little speed but its his confidence dat disturbs him the most. He could shout to his teamates to pass the ball where he wants but in chelsea, he moves without having eye contact with the passer or raising his hand and it becomes wasted because nobody can read his mind. Thats why i sugested he should shout or demand of the ball more. Any time he passes the ball, he should never stand straight but make the run foward just like mata did with hazard. And he should shoot a lot more from outside the box. Do you remember the last goal he scored against us before he came to chelsea?<p>Because of his confidence now, he will definately not take%2

torres needs to do what i say to get better thats all. This is not a video game where he can make mistakes forever and correct anytime its the real deal. He earns 200,000. He is the highest earner and should prove his worth. Excuses are getting him nowhere, if he doesnt develop his game like i said, then he is the worst flop in world football.

Torres rarely makes runs, mata will find him if he does

Dont get me wrong, the things i listed above are ways for torres to improve his play. If he doesnt then he will never improve and hope on offside goals to improve his goal tally

http://www.goal.com/...nship-with-club We stuck with torres now till january

He hides behind the defender makin it difficult to pass to him. If he makes runs, it will be easier to give through balls. If he comes back and combines like how mata and hazard combined i am very sure he will have more chances. Like i said in this thread, the only time i saw torres come back and make a run into the box this season was against newcastle, and he scored. He needs more of that especially in big matches. He cant keep having only one shot, i can swear if torres was in oscar's position for the second goal, he wont shoot but will try to dribble and lose the ball. His confidence is just

Mata had 20 league assists, highest in the premier league last season. You have to be kidding me if you think mata is not good enough. Torres is just not good enough unless you want chelsea to buy xavi and iniesta in the midfield then i dont know why torres is not scoring.

The problem is that you focus on what others have done for torres and dont consider what torres has done for himself or what he has done for his teammates. Drogba can decide to chest the ball down, shoot from outside the box and score for his teammates. Torres will lose the ball before he can control it leading to a counter attack. Torres will try to dribble and lose the ball when he had a chance to shoot. Against juventus, chelsea had 11 shots and torres contributed to only 1. Why you are denying he is not playing well is confusing.

If i pass to my striker 10 times and he falls down and loses the ball 8 times, will i pass to him again? You didnt read the topic, i stated clearly the problems torres has. I play soccer too so i watch torres and i know how difficult it is to understand him. If you dont know by now that torres plays inconsistently and an unpredictable way for his own teammates to understand, then you may have not been watching chelsea matches. Even kalou scored goals when he was a striker for chelsea. Torres is a smaller striker trying to play like a big striker, he cant just be loosing the ball stupidly. That is my main issue with him, i dont know if he forgets he has teammates sometimes. He must make runs behind the defence or pass and run for a one-two to score. Simple as that. We have played mata - torres cant score we have played hazard (has the highest assist in the league) - torres finds it hard to score we have lampard And you still think there is no problem with torres?

I agree with you, i just cant believe he has even lost his ball control. I swear i can trap the ball better than torres, he looks like he wants to fall everytime the ball is on him.

When he dribbles past one, he should pass the ball. Thats his problem, it looks like he has desire but he fucks it up in the end. Did you see how quaggurella made the run to score chelsea for the second goal? Torres has never done that since he missed that open goal against manchester united. That is the only way for smaller strikers to create chances, making runs behind defenders. Torres just stands straight and expects the ball to come, the only runs he makes are to the wings so how can he score?

Its so annoying. I play football too so i know what im talking about. I see how torres moves and as an attacking midfielder i will be confused on how he plays. Not even mata could unlock his scoring potential so i dont see any other person except iniesta that can help torres score at this moment

I noticed some things that make torres look bad. "When drogba gets the ball, he brings it down, bullies the defender with his strength and fires a ferocious shot or passes to the incoming malouda in the wing. But torres, you just know he is going to fall and lose possesion because he is only looking to dribble instead of linking up with his teammates or creating space and shooting QUICKLY LIKE OSCAR OR LIKE THE LAST GOAL HE SCORED FOR LIVERPOOL AGAINST CHELSEA. God help him the day sturridge gets his chance and plays a lot better, even the chelsea teammates will lose patience with him. He needs to link up with passes instead of dribbling and losing possesion, he is no messi." Torres doesnt have a style of play. He plays in the wings today, he stands in the front without moving tomorow, he tries to dribble through 3 defenders and loses the ball instead of just passing in the next match. Watch falcao, This is his style of play. 1. he comes deep to recieve the pass, passes it, then makes a run foward for the through pass or cross 2. He could also stand with the defender raise his hands just up for the midfielder to give him the through ball and start making a run for the pass. (even when the midfielder doesnt give he doesnt just dissapear but tries again) 3. When he is marked he pulls the defenders away and PASSES THE BALL TO THE WINGER OR MIDFIELDER and runs back incase of a one two. Dilemma The last time i remember torres making a run to recieve a pass is against newcastle and hazard passed to him. If you were a midfielder you will have no idea how to play with torres because he doesnt have a particular style of play. He used to make runs in liverpool and gerrad finds him with long balls but now he just stands straight. Only big strikers like Drogba and Ibrahimovic should stand straight and recieve ball since they are big enough to not fall down all the time like torres Smaller strikers like tevez, aguero and villa pass back to the midfielder quickly and run foward incase of a one-two pass. Solution 1. Torres should hold the ball to his feet and pass instead of trying to dribble and looking for the foul. 2. I hope oscar has taught torres how to shoot without looking at the goal just like drogba (torres is a freakin striker SHOOOOT) 3. Torres should pass when surrounded by three players instead of trying to do everything on his own He loses the ball more than anybody in chelsea(sometimes because of peter cech) he is starting to look like suarez in my eyes. 4. Torres must make runs or he will score less than 20 goals fact. 5. Torres should scream or point(like villa) to the midfielder where he wants the ball to be played instead of just hoping they can read his mind 6. Peter cech should stop hoofing the ball in the air for torres, he is no drogba he cant win any ball in the air against any defender thats why chelsea dont score with headers again.

Watch falcao, This is his style of play. 1. he comes deep to recieve the pass, passes it, then makes a run foward for the through pass or cross 2.

The last time i remember torres making a run to recieve a pass is against newcastle and hazard passed to him. 5. Torres holds the ball for too long, he should pass and make the run If you were a midfielder you will have no idea how to play with torres because he doesnt have a particular style of play. He used to make runs in liverpool and gerrad finds him with long balls but now he just stands straight. Only big strikers like Drogba and Ibrahimovic should stand straight and recieve ball since they are big enough to not fall down all the time like torres Torres must make runs or will score few goals fact.

ivanovic cahill terry cole romeu mikel moses oscar mata sturridge Cahill is better than luiz in the air, against stoke we need more discipline. I want azupulleta to start but ivanovic is needed for his height Lampard needs a rest, i dont want him to tire out he's 34 Oscar must start, he needs the confidence for juventus peformance Moses is stronger than ramires and a better crosser and dribbler Torres will start(sadly) but sturridge needs his chance, his speed will trouble stoke on the counter especially with oscar behind him. He also shoots like a striker should do.

INSTRUCTIONS DIMATTEO SHOULD GIVE TO TORRES TO DEVELOP HIS GAME I noticed some things that make torres look bad. 1. Torres should hold the ball to his feet and pass instead of trying to dribble and looking for the foul. 2. I hope oscar has taught torres how to shoot without looking at the goal jst like drogba (torres is a freakin striker, pls SHOOOOT ) 3. Peter cech should stop hooping balls to torres, he cant win an aerial battle even if its against ramires. cech stop 4. Torres should pass when surrounded by three players instead of trying to do everything on his own He loses the ball more than anybody in chelsea he is starting to look like suarez in my eyes. 5. He should play it simple - pass and look for the return ball by making a run. I never see torres do this. Falcao does it 100% of the time . 6. How can torres recieve through balls when he constantly stays at the wings and doesnt try to make runs in behind the defence. or even do no 5 above. 7. If torres doesnt get this right, i think its about time we tried sturridge to start and find a balance before the season gets too far *rant over*

The reason there is no through balls is because torres doesnt make runs. like the post i made above
