dodojojo 510 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Just needs his shooting boots and he'll be good to go. People have to remember even at his peak with Liverpool, he would flit in and out of games. It was tolerated because his good moments were so so good. That's the type of player he is and it's not going to change at 27. I hope AVB keeps faith in him and plays Torres into form. I wonder if that backheel would have been good if Meireles hadn't been there. So good of Luiz and Mata to credit Torres that way. They must be as sick of the media crap as we are. nofreakingway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 That final assist may have saved him from some media scrutiny tomorrow.. Just a shred though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicrico 175 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Same old story for me i'm afraid, set up two goals...yes. great. Should have scored a trick? yes - easily. Again none on our forwards playing in the central role can notch. Goals coming from everywhere but the centre forward position. Woeful finishing from Torres, also held play up and had rubbish first touches. Not a starter for me personally and still think we are better off without him. All we need is a striker that scores and we will be fine. We haven't got that so thats why i think Manure will have a major advantage come sunday, they can't stop scoring. Torres must hate Luiz!

Torres must hate Luiz!Actually he doesn't. Don't project your pettiness onto others.Torres assisted both goals in a game where Chelsea won 2-0. If you can't give him credit for a nanosecond, that's your loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The last assist was good but a Striker with confidence would have buried it himself. Shows Torres is lacking confidence and hence he decided to lay it to Mata. Hopefully this game does him good. He needs a run of games like these and he should be good.Keep in mind. the team and players are all peaking. If Torres can find his form by December and Sturridge Mata Torrs Partnership clicking upfront by December-Jan, We can win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't nothing wrong in pointing out where he's going wrong. He can't hit a barn door. Proved that tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows Torres is lacking confidence and hence he decided to lay it to Mata.Are you fucking serious? Look at the angle he was at... If he had taken a shot there and failed miserably, we would all be raging at him for not passing to Mata (like we did when he fucked up the pass/shot to Ramires against Sunderland). He did exactly the right thing, if you see a teammate in a better position, you give the ball to him. He did exactly what any other striker should have done. lecter, Ezio, SinineUltra and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres must hate Luiz!You are Right, Our CFs are not scoring. I think it is down to the loss of confidence. Initially the midfield was dire and our CF hardly scored end of last season and beginning of this season which has affected their confidence. Now that the midfield is looking vibrant and as they would start getting chances, their confidence would grow. Plenty of time for our strikers to regain form and confidence.Oh, Btw you didnt mention the easiest chance of the game fluffed by Sturridge, from Maloud's cross but made it a point to come out and bash Torres for not scoring.

I can't possibly overstate what an improvement the current situation is over last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he banged 5 in 5 games ahead of this i am sure he would have taken the shot himself.Also Strikers are Selfish...If you have watched enough football around the globe you will realize that.. No one on the pitch are as selfish as them. Secondly, we have seen plenty of times before when strikers have finished it from that angle either between the Keeper's legs or bending it in.

dodojojo 510 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Torres could have benefited from a few other occassions when he was the open and the other player chose to shoot anyway. Like I said in the game thread, hope this is karmic and he'll get his reward soon. I know Mata would love to tee one up for Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One decent one, and two snap shots. PLus you are forgetting this is Sturridge's second game of the season! I ain't bashing. I understand peoples love for Torres, but I'm a realist mate not an optimist. Torres has been dreadful and fact is tonight he should of had a trick easily. He was slowing play down when we had breaks late on and his touch is woeful. They are facts. Not bashing. He did well for the assists, second one done particularly well. But to me i'm not convinced. Sturridge's touch is decent, he looks comfortable on the ball, Torres doesn't at all. I actually get an uneasy feeling when he's on it in wanting him not to fuck up everytime!

You don't have to get it. Until he does something that convinces me i'll continue to have my opinion. Don't like it, don't read it. Simples.
