Torres was also reliant on the players around him at Liverpool. The same could be said here at Chelsea with Hazard looking to be his new favorite team mate.
Weren't we too reliant on Drogba as well? Torres will almost never live up to that role but I much rather rely on him scoring the goals than have no production at all.
------------------Cech------------------ Ivanovic----Cahill----Terry------Ryan -------------Essien------Lampard----- ---Sturridge------Mata---------Hazard -------------------Torres----------------- Very unlikely but would be interesting to see Sturridge/Hazard.
I would welcome Jose back with open arms, but not anytime soon. RDM deserves a long term spell at Chelsea and I know the word "stability" is taboo around here but I hope that's what we're getting out of Roberto at the helm.
Hopefully this will be the last loan spell for Josh. Carlo showed a lot of faith in this kid and I think he will have a shot at regular-team football soon enough.
Indeed. You could probably make a case for his penalty kicks, he is very reliable (for the most part) from the spot. Mata and Hazard should take the free kicks for us from now on.
