Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 ^ not only that but the unselfishness that he showed in always trying to keep possession instead of taking them all on himself and the pass to Cole. But I hope that Torres also continues to use his trickery, cuz that's when he gets that much needed step ahead of the defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 He was Man of the Match today. He was a class above most on the field. He was getting extremely frusturated at the lack of service at the end of the game which was totally understandable. He was doing most things up front by himself today.

Peace. 4,352 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 If we are to play him, we shouldn't use the 4-3-3 formation. Yesterday he was Anelka-esque by his stats (only three shots in 90 full minutes, and no one on target) and by his style of play (he was never where he should be, i.e. in the box). Hence we should play him with another striker, because it will be a problem if he keeps coming deep and drifting on the wings. Maybe pair him with Sturridge - who him is more looking to go to the goal - and put Mata behind them two to feed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres has always been best playing as the lone man up top. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres has always been best playing as the lone man up top.But the service won't come. The set of midfielders we have at the moment can't provide this, and we are likely to not buy a good playmaker in January. That's why I've said we should go for a new formation.

termninja 5,290 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 He did well and I think he'll improve much more if AVB gives him a good run of games. I think he should really really do it because that could resolve his future with us. If he fails to ignite then we should be parting ways at the end of the season, but if he does then he could still have future here. Forget Lukaku, he is 18, Torres situation is much more important now - as much as I would like to see Romelu play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is in midfield. If you look at our front three, there's a good mix of pace,power and trickery...its more or less complete. But our midfield begs for creativity.

termninja 5,290 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Looking at him on that video...the way he moves, dribbles and smiles...you don't see that anymore...such a shame...His thoughts on the OlympicsFernando, what are your thoughts on football in the Olympics?Spain try to take their best team, but it's always an Under 21 team, not the Under 23, and no over-age players. This is normally a good team, but they only won gold once, in 1992. I never played, we lost the qualifier against Sweden in 2004. I was already in the first team with Jose Antonio Reyes, and we lost the last game against Sweden so didn't go through. It is one of the things I would like to have done, to play in the Olympics, but I would like to watch it still.What are your earliest Olympic memories?I think my earliest memories are from Barcelona in 1992. I was only eight years old and I wasn't really interested in sport at that stage, but I remember Spain winning the football, beating Poland in the final 3-2. Kiko (number 19) was my favourite player and scored the winner, so I remember them getting the gold medals. (Albert Ferrer, who would go on to play for Chelsea, wore number 2 in that team)What will you be looking out for in 2012?Now is a good time for the Spanish sports, we have a good basketball team which plays in finals and is a big hope. We have marathon runners who are strong, and our synchronised swimming team is very good but always in the shadow of the Russians. However I think in the last three Olympics they have a gold and two silver medals, so they are always strong. We will see if we can get more than in the last one.Everyone obviously wants to see Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps right now. I remember in Barcelona in '92 Michael Jordan played basketball which was exciting, but everyone wants to see Bolt, Phelps or Nadal. It will be great to see what records can be broken.Do you know any or have you met any of them?Not really, but my sponsors have put me together with some of them. Rafa Nadal will be there competing and will want to win a gold medal.Have you seen the Olympic Stadium yet?I've seen it on TV. In England, these things are always done better than in other places. Everything is very well prepared and well dressed. It is going to be an amazing stadium and a great occasion. I'd love to go and see some of it.How will London fare as a host city?In London you can find everything you need. You can do it in a normal day like now, so I am sure London will be prepared for the Olympics. Everybody expects a lot of people, everybody wants to come and it is going to be busy. I am sure the traffic will be fun, but I think it will be a really successful Games.If you had to pick one event to take part in, what would it be?I would go for the 100 metres, I wouldn't be the best obviously, but I really like it.And a triathlon?For me to try in? Apart from football, I'd go for the 100, 200, and the long jump.Who would be in your Chelsea 4x100 metre team?Rami for sure, and Studge, but after that it is not easy to pick. Maybe Bosingwa and me. I will go as the first one to take the pressure off me, and I'll have Rami and Studge as the last two.And finally, are there any sports not in the Games that you think should be?No, I think all the sports I like are already included in the Olympic Games.

tmessy 139 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 haha i honestly think that he needs to watch that video and just remember what it was like...that would spark me, if that were i...its easy to smile when you are scoring, but he just needs to be more gutsy... come on nando...

MikeyBlue 11 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3JUdryT9zI&feature=relatedAlmost makes me cry watching Nando score so effortlessly.. I agree, he needs to watch these back, and begin to give himself some belief!Which goal's your favourite though? Mine's No. 46.Would love to see him do this again, but in a blue shirt!

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Watching that video.. 40% pass 60% his own efforts. However it's the pass that shows his own efforts.. Something we need, not just for him but the whole of our attack line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
