Guest justin_3d 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.Media obsession with Terry, and A. Cole yet they still do good.I feel sorry for the way he is being treated by the press.His confidence and attitude is up to him and not the press.

Tortilla9 390 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 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.Maybe if he gives an exclusive to an English journalist first then maybe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Maybe if he gives an exclusive to an English journalist first then maybe....Well, I guess that means they won't be saying nice things about him then...In today's Daily Fail article by Matt Barlow, he said Torres hasn't spoken to the English press (I'm assuming he means exclusives or one on one interviews since Nando has done team press conferences) since his January signing. He implies it's because Torres is dodging the press because he doesn't want to face the tough questions post his transfer. Great theory....except Torres didn't do a single interview with the English press while he was at Liverpool last season either. And even before that, he did them rarely. This with a club where he was ultra-successful and adored. At Liverpool, he hardly talk to anyone either and he wasn't walking around with a huge grin on his face 24/7. But hey, the press has to continue to paint a picture of a guy who's miserable and won't talk to anyone since he's moved to Chelsea. Newsflash: Torres is a quiet guy and is a bit socially awkward or even aloof. It didn't change just because he moved to London. Why do the press get away with this shit?

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Two or three goals in the opening half a dozen matches is a realistic target judging especially from the calibre of teams we're playing at home. If he can't bag one against Swansea or WBA at home, I'll then be worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole yet they still do good.I feel sorry for the way he is being treated by the press.His confidence and attitude is up to him and not the press.Disagree.Goalkeeper and striker are really the two only 'confidence' positions on the pitch. If the press continuously berate you over poor performances as a striker or errors as a goalie, it affects you massively. Look at Cech in 08/09, he had two shaky games and the press made it look like his hands had been replaced with marshmallows. Yes it is important to have a positive mental outlook, but strikers and goalkeepers are particularly prone to knocks in their confidence. You can react two ways - go into your shell or come out all guns blazing. Rooney did the latter last season and finished the season in deadly form, Torres has done the opposite. Once he finds his scoring touch, el Nino will be back, you have my word. It does not affect defenders or midfielders so much, which is why Terry and Cole responded in kind.

If he can get his electric pace back, he will be involved in more goal scoring opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldo 868 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 He came to a team that was in a mess, give him a break.Last season there were periods when anyone from our team couldn't score not just Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Are you sure you have the right word?lol no.But I thought if he scores a hat trick in the next couple of games he might be good. But I am thinking his problem is mental, and that might take a lot more time to get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I doubt that it's mental.I liked this quote from the article i just put:Torres appears to be suffering from the opposite problem. He really is one of the world's best. We have all seen the evidence. And yet, in his head, he is a pub player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacika 188 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You guys are just to much obsessed with Torres....just live him alone....discuss about something else than him..talk about Drogba perhaps...he didn't score in these games as well...and no one says anything...so just shut up with Torres, you are pis*** me off.... He is our player, and will be in next few years, so respect that... zolayes, nofreakingway and Ray. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What pressure? Pressure is millions of parents around the world with no money to feed their children. There is no pressure in football."That's my point.
