Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Torres didn't play well, not by any stretch, but he was there and scored the winner for us. So i'm not going to slate him.I know it was offside, but not his fault the linesman didn't call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Why not Certainly would mean he does not have to do terrible defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Daniel Sturridge was very good when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Cesar should be coming soon. Won't play instantly but be good to see him given a go and see the difference... Could well start sooner than some of us including me would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezza 1,965 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 But he hasnt been off in his 2 last seasons or has he?I knew someone would come out with this..You can't use that as an argument otherwise you'd still bench him if he had a really good game today because he hasn't been that good 'in the last 2 seasons'. He done his job, he scored.He's missing a bit of urgency, but it doesn't warrant a benching.Que Torres FC reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinol 337 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Then again, Mr. Chelsea Supporter, did you think that Drogba would turn out good for us?Drogba finished his fantastic time with us as a legend and moved on. Maybe its time for Torres to do the same. He isnt really getting any younger.Seriously, ive been a huge Torres fan and ive supported him all the way from the start, but there is a time when we have to open our eyes and see the reality. It also pisses me off how we are so patient with torres but cut off our youngsters without giving them a fair chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Im becoming increasingly worried about Brana .... atm he is defending worse than Bos was... yes he has two goals but that is maskinghis failure to do his primary jobTrue, but with Cesar's imminent arrival he will get some healthy competition and mistakes will be reduced to minimum. Carefree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support our players, no matter what name or color their skin are.And yes, Drogba left as a legend, but there was nothing that could point to that after his first two years at our club, even though we were the best team in the world those years.

Torres will start against Athletico next week meaning that since the Community Shield, he'd have started 4 of the 5 matches. I think we need to see what Sturridge can do as a striker at some point.

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This was a terrific turnaround and a lovely win. But this shouldnt blind us from the fact that we have some issues we need to resolve.1. We most definatley have CF issue. Torres just isnt looking sharp at all and to think that he can have Chelsea on his shoulders like Droga had is just mad.2. We definatley need a RW. Ramires cant keep playing there, that has been absolutley clear. Hulk or Moses is a MUST.3. Out double pivot worries me. Mikel has been awful, Lampard doesnt fit there and is on the decline. Essien was good in pre-season but I fear that was just temporary. I dont know what is going on with Romeu, but unless he will be part of RDMs plans we definatley need a defensive minded DM. None of our choices there atm are that good.With Azpi looking set to join us, and im pretty sure Moses or Hulk is too, I think the next choice would be to sign a DM. If not someone who is at the top (like Modric to name one) then at least look at someone young and cheap. In my opinion, that is better than nothing. After that, we should look for a CF. That is the order of prio imo.Last, we should try to sell Meireles, Ferreira and possibly Malouda. The best scenario would be to include them in a deal player+cash.

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 no chances were made by Reading on Ivanovic's side, Cole made more mistakesThat's not true. He failed to contain McAnuff who was threatening throughout the game. In fact, Reading's second goal came from a free kick McAnuff drew, and Ivanovic probably should have done better initially before JT had to come in and foul McAnuff.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Tbh, i don't think torres was as bad as some people make it. Granted he needs to be better, and his finishing touch was lacking at times this evening, don't think he should be benched just yet as we have danny as the only other option atm... Obviously if we suddenly buy cavani then it will happen but torres really should have had two tap ins today (Rambo should have passed early on), and that would probably change the opinion of many... Don't get me wrong i am not saying he is playing well but i don't think he should be benched yet. Danny was quite good when he came on, and i would like to see him given a bit more time in place of torres if he is not firing after 60 mins.

Drogba was pretty young, was new to the country, league, language and everything. He deserved a chance. Torres is 28. He know the language, the league, he has been dubbed as one of the best strikers in the world and still cant cut it after staying here in almost 2 seasons.

cousin benson 76 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 yeah but the foul came from the the middle where JT and Cahill are positioned. Cole for me, made more mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
