Ok I'm only writing this because it seems to be a running theme and let me say from the outset that I am 100% behind torres as long as he plays for chels. What he does for Spain I don't care and what he did for Liverpool doesn't interest me either, its the here and now that interests me. Torres is not playing well and in truth has not played well consistently since he arrived last January, anyone who is anyone can tell you that. Now I'm not on here to sway peoples minds about him (that's for him to do on the pitch) but what I am hoping is that in future when we go on to the match thread and someone expresses a feeling of discontent that torres didn't get on or maybe that they thought he doesn't deserve criticism that that person should be able to back one of our own players without being labled a torres fc fan or fanboy. It's getting boring now and I fail to understand why people who are supporters have such an easy time almost willing one of our players to fail. But as I said you can each make up your own minds about el Nino but surely we can hold fire on trying to segregate our own fans into pro or anti torres? Just a suggestion

You got a point mate, but the problem is that those opinions are usually escorted with insults to other chelsea players (ex:" why didn't torres start?, drogba is shit"). In general, the match thread is getting annoying during games that aren't going our way, and does leave the impression that some members are not heartily supporting the club.

No I don't love him. I have always liked him as a footballer, and I still do, although not as much as before. But why would anyone literally love him when he is yet to contribute to the team?

because the lad is trying hard. As long as the players try really hard its fine whether we win or lose but when we dont show that intent ! thats when things fall apart.

the qpr game i bet not a single Chelsea fan was gutted by the way we played because we showed some real quality and intent in that game but sadly that intent isn't there in every match we play

i know that is equally as annoying and a lot of the mstch thread comments are pretty grim at times. I'm all for saying I prefer this one to that one at the minute, just don't see the need for running players who play for our team down

Kalou tries hard also but he doesn't get that much support :rolleyes:

I wasn´t happy, when he joined us. I didn´t like him in L´pool, I hated his goals against us. But now he´s with us and is understandable, that i´ll support him. His situation in Chelsea is hard for him, is hard for club and is hard for fans. So I don´t love him, but I believe he´ll be great part of Chelsea´s history.

love torres hate the style of play he's making us turn to. now we have to let maouda go (which i have no problem with) and get a hazard/stevan jovetictype player. and another cm to replace lampard and faster dm. but other than that i love torres. (not to mention the change in tactics thats cost us a few games this year if not all of our losses!)

Liked him while he was in Atletico,hated him as a Liverpool player.Don't really love him as a Chelsea player since he is a good player but never really showed it while being with us.I give him until the end of the season,if he doesn't improve he can leave.

To start scoring, he must obviousley be given more playtime. Not jump in in the 75th minute and be expected to score when the team playes shitty. If the team can properly build around Torres (with a good formation and backing up from ie. Mata) he will do wonders!

Neither love or hate really, i like him more than i dislike him for some reason, just wish he'd find his form back. I'm desperate to see him succeed for us, time is still on his side and we won't sell him and lose profit. I think he'll make his point in the CC against Liverpool. I'm looking forward to this game now after last weekend.

If he had 10 consecutive 90 minute games, i reckon he'd bag 7-8 times ish. We have the best 2 strikers in the world (ok, 2 of the best but a few years ago, they were THE 2) and they are both playing like retards. Poor AVB.

Love him when he plays well, hate him when he plays badly or dives. Same goes for everyone else on the team, though. (Currently loving Sturridge and hating Terry, Cech and Drogba) I don't think I've ever had any lasting love or hate for any of our players, not even for Kalou.

Okay, I must write this here.

When El Nino was at Liverpool, I loved him, but I couldn't show this, because we had Liverpool supporters in the class and I was both, angry and happy, when he scored against us. He's just a player that I like everything about him. He's so calm, speedy and he's great finisher. I've watched Liverpool games only because of him. And you can't believe what was going with me, when he signed for us. Shame I wasn't member of this forum then, so you would see. I screamed so much, I jumped on balcony with Chelsea flag, I wore Chelsea skirt in school and so on... But his start in Chelsea wasn't the best, but I believed as everyone. I don't know what's problem about this and I won't disscuss it. I'm training football, I'm forward, I wear number 9, I've long hair and everything is because of him - my idol - Fernando Torres. He will be my favourite player, no matter what.

Torres was a beast for liverpool, sadly he can't recreate the form he was under for us..Drogba will still be one of the best (imo our best) strikers of all time for us. Whether Drogba haters like it or not, he has accomplished far more for our club. I honestly think the 50 m pricetag has hurt Fernando and the atmosphere and expectations of CFC is overwheliming him atm.

However it would be foolish for ANY Chelsea fan to not want him to succeed for us...the question is, when and how are we able to get consistent performances from Nando again? His touch has gotten a lot worse since his injury and he does not look motivated at all when he steps on the pitch. Besides focusing our attention to Torres we should get him to feed off of Mata and Sturridge to relieve the pressure off FT9.

Just a quick note, do you all think it's essential that we offload Drogba and let Torres take the main role as the starting striker? Maybe he's been under Didier's shadow for too long and needs to emerge as the worldclass player that he is.
