Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Between March and December, Rooney never scored in open play (3 from the penalty spot). Yet the media were 100% behind him and never considered him "fiinished". nofreakingway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yeah i agree. And i support all our players....except Kalou a cheap dig at one of the players who always gives 100% effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomCFC 357 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Say Torres scores 2 goals all next season and that is the winner at Anfield that wins us the league and the winner against Man.Utd in Munich for the CL, would those 2 moments alone make him money well spent?I'd rather twenty goals over a season rather than two in terms of returning the investment, but those goals would be priceless. Roman getting his hands on the Champions League after nine years would be well worth £50m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've been a supporter of Torres his whole time here at Chelsea, but after the Portsmouth game I took a few digs at him. He's still a Chelsea player and I support him 100%. I really hope he succeeds here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Many people, when a team is on 'bad-run' or not performing like Barcelona, they tend to look for scapegoats, it has been Benayoun - started before he even touch the fucking ball!, Carlo, Kalou (which is somehwta justify-able to osme extent), and it looks set for Torres. There are fans that firmly believe because we have had success in the past we should have it again and again, despite the real elements of football. The fact that Lampard has become somewhat more cautious and slow-minded in play since his injury, has really done a number on our midfeild that uses Lampard's normally dynamic attacking force as shield as the rest of the midfeild follows.But without that one element, the midfeild's structure hasn't really clicked since, with normally one person attacking and two defending (one defending and the other standing around looking for the ball in the center). What we need really is a creative person to help spearhead any attack and push Lampard up, or with Lampard playing less games. If we played someone like Benayoun alongside McEarhan in an offensove minded role with Mikel as the defensive anchor, then the support would be better to Torres, imo. As Torres isn't the kind of player who will make his own attacks like Drogba, he can't completely boss the whole of the defence if there isn't at least two people to have him.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 why the fuck are people asking for this thread to be locked? You do realise its a thread within the topic of current squad!

Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 "I'm 27. Don't worry I don't forget to score goals... I will score," said the World Cup-winning Spain international."It's going to be a big season. My form is ok, it's time to be fit and ready. We're trying to get into the best form. We have got big expectations and I can see the winning mentality we have (at Chelsea)." Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I like the confidence.confidence in words and confidence in reality are two different things... he would hardly ever say "I'm past my best and I don't believe in myself, get over it". I just hope his actions live up to his words during the season, because he's been saying exactly the same thing since he's signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 He needs to get a hat trick against Stoke or whoever to get a big confidence boost.Torres is good, but is his mentality, his attitude that stops him. Last season he could have scored goals, but his attitude made him look like dry lump in the field. If he improves that this season, then he should be better.

I can't recall ANY of our players getting more abuse than Kalou . I still maintain he is a goodimpact sub and a valuable squad player who ALWAYS gives 100%. I can understand the knee jerk reactions of fans when we've just lost a game. But the continual slatingof our players and the fantasy dreaming of who should replace them is nauseating.

Guest justin_3d Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This is too painfull to read:He's rated world class, cost a record fee and can't score for Chelsea. Is this Shev-Nando Torres?Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz1TG5rlsB5As much as I criticize the guy, this media obsession has gone too far!

dodojojo 510 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It's what the press does. They won't let up on him until he goes down on his knees, apologizes for offending Liverpool, being a good enough player to warrant two club record transfer fees in his career and then commits seppuku on the pitch. Then, maybe then, they'll say something nice about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_3d Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I am already feeling sorry for him for all this bad press he keeps getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura90 556 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 @ justin_3dThat media obsession is exactly the reason why he has lost all his confidence and why he can't get his form back. It's almost impossible in these conditions. If he can't feel good about himself, how can he play good? But what do you care. You have already proven you are not different from them anyway.
