manpe 10,861 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 First of all, I must give him credit for that sublime cross.. Absolute peach of a goal made by Torres and Mata whose roles were switched, but nevertheless, it was great. Now, I must critique him yet again. When he had that chance when he was clear to shoot in the box, he just ran into amok. Why take that extra touch, why? Just shoot and celebrate.. He says he needs to try extra hard in Chelsea, but no, he needs to do things simple, not make it extra hard for himself. He's like a masochist, taking on 4 defenders and taking excessive touches when he has a chance to shoot. The predatory Torres is dead.. convert him to winger, at least he can cross.

Kostas 1,468 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 He is of absolutely no use to us as a striker at the moment. In all my life I doubt I've seen a footballer so devoid of confidence. Unless AVB figures that he does more offensively and defensively than Malouda/Sturridge/Mata/Kalou*/Ramires/Drogba/Lukaku on the wing he should be nowhere near the starting XI.*Yes.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 After that gem of a cross I thought his confidence would be sky-high! Then when the ball came and he took it past Evans I was like "HIT IT!" and then.... Ugh. manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLionheart 516 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I have lost any bit of faith or hope that Torres can be a decent striker , his movement is bad , he is as slow as hell nowadays even Ferdinand had more pace than him today . We should sell him for anything more than 15 millions .Had high hopes for him but now he is in no more use than Kalou or Malouda . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We'd be even better off with Kalou as our main striker... "Project Torres" has officially failed. Sell him, buy a new winger, let Sturridge lead our front line and BINGO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when the ball came and he took it past Evans I was like "HIT IT!" and then.... Ugh.His confidence is so low not even a hattrick could restore it, let alone a single cross. That year of misery and failure will always haunt him, even if he manages to score 3 games in a row, his goals will still be considered a collector's item and in the back of his mind he knows that, preventing any kind of confidence to emerge.

Nic! 301 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 His fourth yellow card, isn't he suspended for the next game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 His fourth yellow card, isn't he suspended for the next game?Excuse me? Anyway... Great cross then the typical weekly disaster struck. Can't believe it keeps happening, he's so scared in front of goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Torres' form just proves that Roman Abramovich's purchases just don't work! I don't even know whether to feel annoyed or glad that we didn't sign anyone in January! I feel somewhat glad we didn't get Willian partly because it was Roman who was planning on signing him against AVB's plans... although it would have been nice to sign him to add a bit of depth in creativity...but come on...Shevchenko - £30mTorres - £50m£80 million wasted on two blunt strikers... if I had £80m, I would have been able to live with Linda, and take her around the world 10 times!!

The whole Chelsea team has cost probably more than my country's annual budget... ok, maybe it's not that bad, but it helps me put the money in football into perspective. termninja, chrismada9 and BlueSunshine 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Here's the deal...If we can sell Torres for at least £30m to Makachkala, and then sign Neymar and Hazard in the summer, I would be a happy man! Wishful thinking that may be, but one optimistic Chelsea fan like myself can dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking that may be, but one optimistic Chelsea fan like myself can dream!No way Torres would leave to Anzhi. He has family who like it in London and he is still young. Paris, Malaga or Madrid could be his next destination though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
