Wilson 358 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Told you all, Lampard still has it! Ivanovic's goal was nice, he should teach Torres how to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankinBlue42 72 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Better performance. Not reacting too positively, just as we shouldn't react too negatively to the previous games. As the game went along, I thought our midfield and attacking improved greatly. Let's keep the goals coming and the fitness up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Ivanovic should have passed to Torres. In a big game against a proper keeper he would have missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just finished watching the game. It was solid, main negative was poor defending at times, but it's something you get with players who aren't used to playing together. Attacking was good, a bit more direct than last games. Players I'd point out on positive would be Josh and Mikel, Lampard was solid too... Hilario, of course, was magnificent in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres was open ffs.Ivanovic a defender did what Torres (a striker) couldn't do and that's to make a run into the box and convert his chances confidently. Besides Iva wouldn't have offensive freedom against a top team anyway and isn't likely to find himself in that position plus there's nothing to suggest Torres would have converted the chance. . . he's being that abysmal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks slow and lacks any sort of confidence. I hate to say it but he's looking like the biggest waste of money ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a more outrageous decline of talent since Ronaldinho and kaka. . . Torres of 5 years ago made defenders shit their pants. . now he looks totally clueless, sluggish and a shadow of his old self. I'm trying really hard to have faith in him but he's making it very difficult indeed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying really hard to have faith in him but he's making it very difficult indeed for me.He's had some serious knee and groin injuries in the last few years. It's exactly like the Shevchenko transfer, we've bought a player that is losing it physically. He was never a technical footballer and always had a pretty bad first touch. But he was quick, sharp and very mobile and he just doesn't have that anymore.And I'm watching the Copa America final now and you should see how brilliantly Suarez is playing and he cost less than half of Torres!

manpe 10,861 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 He tries to prove himself too hard. Taking on 3 defenders at once pretty much shows his desire to prove himself, I remember 3 situations at least when he had 3-4 defenders on him like mosquitos and he didn't even think of passing. The problem seems to be psychological, because as it has been repeated, class just doesn't desert a player. Hopefully he will start firing soon, or the lack of confidence carries on into the beginning of season, which won't be good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to the day Roman and Gourlay would leave all transfer matters and decisions to the manager. . . no forward thinking manager with an ounce of common sense would have even thought about purchasing an injury prone player that's showing signs of decline. meanwhile where will the goals come from next season. . .we can't continue to rely on Lampard anymore as he's gradually fading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
