ZanSnake 1,211 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Nice to see his work rate, too bad he can't score though. Think he might need to get some tips from Kalou about that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRiver 1,512 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Missed a great opportunity although he played quite well. Drogba would have definitely smashed that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Good work rate. Still can't score with an open goal though. But right now, not even that bothers me. He will always be remembered for playing a part in this epic moment in Chelsea history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hell after the last few mins, I'm thinking Fernando and Didier can even play up top together (which they did of course)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 We did seem to play a 4-4-2 diamond in the latter stages of the game, with Lamps on the left, Rambo on the right, and Malouda playing behind Nando and Didi, but soon gotten deeper. Think they could actually play together, if the midfeild is chosen right and with the right motivation- which i think under Roberto, could actually work well!

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Torres put a great shift in when he came on, should of scored but he was a completely different player tonight than what he has been recently. He looked to beat men whenever he could, tracked back, defended well from set pieces. Can only be proud of his performance tonight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Good performance from him today. Gave it everything he had. A huge improvement from the selfish Sturridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las7 951 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 He missed an open net - his miss could have effectively cost us the tie considering that Napoli looked fresher and that was our first chance in ET and you don't get a lot of those when chasing the game(how many chances did Napoli get once they were behind?). It was a moment of brilliance from Drogba the men who Torres should of been replacing that provided us the win. Torres was bought for 50 million pounds to be a striker and in our biggest games he is a liability in forward position. A 34 year old out-of-form Drogba is a better option in every sense of the word - I just want to see the back of Torres in the summer and no amount of tracking back will change the fact he is a complete and utter failure of a striker since joining us. That is all, don't take it personally if you though he did well for me he can f off in the summer manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! zolayes 14,489 Posted March 14, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted March 14, 2012 many single incidents could cause a loss , people with agendas will focus on what suits them . If you couldnt see the work rate Torres put in .then it is pointless trying to convince you . oh btw I thought Kalou was faultless tonight Severinb, Badboy, neel and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Ollie 4,400 Posted March 15, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted March 15, 2012 Torres' angle was quite tight and with his state of mind it was always gonna be a hard chance. Who actually thought he would score it? I for sure didn't but credit to him in the rest of the game for his commitment to the cause. At least he gave his all and that's all we ask for. francozola, kiaretta985, Blue Armour and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 When torres got that chance, I wanted torres to score but I just knew he was going to miss it.I really don't think he will score for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think he'll score against Leicester because he is very likely to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't know what to make of him. It's observable that he has lost a lot of passion for football. When other players are going crazy over penalty appeals, goals & celebrations after the game, he doesn't react in the same way. I'm sure he's pleased when the team achieves good results but he's terribly frustrated and unhappy at the general situation he's in. He's just not enjoying football at all. If you look at highlights from yesterday's match, pretty much every "joyous" moment that we had, he wasn't really that enthusiastic. He's not going to get that back until he starts scoring consistently. LDN Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in quite a performance last night though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I was so proud of his work ethic yesterday. I agree with FrancoZola though, he didn't react to the result and he kind of just walked away like he was a Napoli player. I think its the fact that Drogba is 34 years old and he's still out competing him for a starting role, please do remember he was the best finisher in the world once upon a time and it can't be easy watching Didier still playing like a world beater at his age. People say things like '' well its a team game he should be happy for Didier'' sadly life does not work like that especially for strikers who compete on productivity.

Though Torres was bright when he came on and looked up for it. if he has scored he would of been a hero i think if he had hit it first time he would of scored instead of taking an extra touch...

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 ... if he had hit it first time he would of scored instead of taking an extra touch...Thats going to be his Stamford Bridge epitaph. At least he wasnt getting dogs abuse like he was at Brum and WBA, people were actually cheering his work ethic last night. Can do his confidence no harm...
