Fulham Broadway 17,316 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 He also once helped my Auntie to put some compost into her car at Homebase onceClassic.Sure theres a joke in there somewhere with words like , recycling, shit, heap, Roy keane, Republic of Ireland etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 fair play to Mick McCarthy. Most managers would have gone ballistic in the post match interview over Lampard's tackle and blame a defeat solely on it but he was honest and said he didn't see it.He also once helped my Auntie to put some compost into her car at Homebase onceExactly!Put the blame for the result on where it should be the players etcWatching the highlights Wolves last minute chance jesus christ!!That god Cech finally kinda snapped into it they just kinda stood and watched it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicrico 175 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Saw the highlights, not impressed. But got the result we needed nonetheless. Don't think 4th can be managed with this current team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Saw the highlights, not impressed. But got the result we needed nonetheless. Don't think 4th can be managed with this current team.Don't base your judgement on highlights.Our final-third passing was slightly better than usual (Torres played some great passes to put the likes of Mata, Lampard, etc through on goal) and our possession was good as well. We are clearly lacking creativity but this performance was by no means as bad as the recent outings against Wigan, Fulham & Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Torres had a very Good game, was good on the Ball, Just needs to Regain his Deadly Finishing and He'd be close to what he was at Liverscum. False, he needs a good midfield and a winger with him then he will start scoring as for now, goals will never be guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well what the fuck do you think he needs, Torres makes runs all the time and no one picks him out, but lately he's had to play deep. Oh and Tmessy what's your solution?, play him with Drogba... And you have the nerve to mock me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 The poor service excuse can only work for so long.Even with a bunch of dinosours behind him a player of tha calibre should be scoring more than 5 times in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how so?, with little confidence?,maybe your right he would of had 5 if he wasn't on the bench constantly, but that's still shit, it's evident he needs service it's a fact.

Swedish House Mafia 508 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Torres basically had Gerrard in his prime behind him at Liverpool. Here he has a 33 year old Lampard, an energetic but not creative Ramires and a distance shooter in Meireles. Mata isn't counted because he plays on the wing.

francozola 2,040 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 That's because three matches ago he was absolute shit and was showing ZERO signs of wanting to play for this teamand lets not get carried away. Good performance against Wolves, his finishing and goal-scoring instincts are still RUBBISH. But I have to commend him for his team-performance. Would like to see a similar performance for his next 4-5 matches before I feel comfortable with him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Torres? stop lying you idiot, he gets a pass with his back to goal and he can't play like that, then your solution is play him with a 33 year old, out of form, no heart or spirit to the club Drogba, he isn't even trying and wants to leave. Also that means taking more midfielders out. And that will only make it worse, so yes you have no logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but you have to give credit to stockdale it was one in five that save. But it's only one chance give him more consistently and he will have confidence and be ready because he expects them.

Tortilla9 390 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 False, he needs a good midfield and a winger with him then he will start scoring as for now, goals will never be guaranteed.Agree a good midfield would not only help Torres but the entire squad. TBF at Liverpool they weren't overflowing with wingers per se. It was the spine starting with Reina, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard and Torres. Add a workhorse around Gerrard/Torres a la Kuyt or Yossi and it worked for Torres.IMHO so take it for what it's worth - at Atleti and LFC he was the man and the team played to his strengths. His confidence and swagger fed off that. At Chelsea it's the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
