dodojojo 510 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 first of all... point perfect cross to kalou was the only thing he did which was my mistake as i thought it was ramires....That was the only thing Torres did? Sorry, most of us must have watched a different game from you. last season drogba had to play as a winger, striker and play maker and he made us win matches,How about the games where it didn't work? Maybe that's why Chelsea aren't defending PL and CL champions? Just because it works every now and then doesn't mean Chelsea should be happy to play their center forwards as wingers and playmakers all in one. It's not sustainable and it won't work against well organized and/or super talented teams. No one on this team is Messi. Torres tried on Sunday to do all he could. It's one game, it didn't work. Chelsea got a point.thirdly the miss from the corner where torres absolutely miss judged the ball was not embarising???You mean the one where he dribbled 2 or 3 defenders and Shawcross landed on his ass? Watch the replay, he didn't misjudge the ball. Shawcross nudged the ball away after being completely dribbled onto his ass by Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 A striker has to be moderately selfish and hungry for goal and Torres is definitely that type of player.. That's why he's best deployed as a pure striker, not the one who plays every position after half-way line.Exactly, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortilla9 390 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Torres game Sunday was so much better than anything I've seen from him since he came to Chelsea. Last season his touch was the worst I've ever seen from him. I was almost expecting bad touches from him. Torres will never have a Tevez or Rooney workrate but when he's engaged, confident, there is a different level and we saw that Sunday. We saw him attacking and dribbling; and turning and going by defenders. Last season he wasn't doing that - part of that was his crap touch, as soon as he'd get the ball, he'd lose it. Now you see he can collect/receive the ball, turn (not lose it in the turn), and take players on. That's Torres or any top class attacking player - wanting/demanding the ball and able and willing to take players on. I'd rather see that Torres than one who too often gives the ball to a teammate because he can't/won't attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, again extenuating circumstances. He had one defender draped on him, the keeper a foot or two away blocking and his back was facing goal. Could he have scored, maybe. But that was a weird play situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than replacing Torres maybe, just maybe, AVB replaces the underperformers? Torres will be benched too...when he underperforms. I don't think he underperformed against Stoke.
