ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 So does Bobby drop him for Citeh for the fresh and rested Drogs or does he need to keep him in and try and build on the confidence that SHOULD have been restored today?

Sheva. 5,373 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Excuse me ? Torres outplayed Danni Sturridge in the Napoli game ? This isn't true. 1.He did fuck all except to have spend a whole day without scoring. No players should enter the first team right away just because they had a good game against a side coming from the Championship obscurity. 2.1. You're one of the few people that i've seen disagree with this.2. And Sturridge has not scored in the league since December, and only has one goal against Championship side Birmingham since then. I would have no problem if Torres doesn't start the next game, that is for RDM to decide, just disagree with the arguments made against him starting.

Trueblue1982 48 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 We aren't in a position where we can afford to make gambles. If we are truly aiming to end up in the top four, then we should stick to the safest choices. Untill now, the Drogba-Torres partnership is yet to be proved as a good one. Hence we shouldn't start him.Excuse me ? Torres outplayed Danni Sturridge in the Napoli game ? This isn't true. Torres has been praised for the same amount of work rate that Sturridge had done, though he has only got labeled as a greedy player. Furthermore Torres didn't managed to put the ball in an empty goal.That was not a sitter torres missed against napoli at all, thats extremly harsh to high light thatIs it because he showed he was a team player that he has to start the next game ? No, not at all. If that was the case, Kalou, Bosingwa and Ferreira would also deserve to start games. And the fact he had a good game today shouldn't guarentee him to start the next game. Why ? Because what did he do in the games before ? He did fuck all except to have spend a whole day without scoring. No players should enter the first team right away just because they had a good game against a side coming from the Championship obscurity. He has to prove he is worth to come back in the starting eleven. He is yet to prove that. To prove he is worth it, he has to play good in few games in a row, and preferably against better sides than Leicester.Torres has gave 110 % IMO every time he has got game time, he has been in and out and think he deserves to start wednesday on the fact of the effort he puts in every game and the fact he got two goals today, MOTM hands down today, he has not had 1 good game and he is a super star, he has tried and it didnt happen for him, it did today so what it was Leicester, can only beat and score who is in front of you, two more goals he didnt have before !! the Drogba/Torres did work against napoli IMO and a lot of others, we looked to be more of a group now and thats a good thing, I think Sturridge can have a massive input against city coming on from the bench and be a team player. The thing with Sturridge is he is young and looking to impress and has been pretty much shoot on site for months now, its not a bad thing at all, i think he will be our number 1 striker, just not yet he needs to mature learn how to use that right foot just aswell as his left and become the compleat player, IMO at the moment whats going to win us the FA cup, top 4 finish (im hoping for 3rd) and dare i say win the champions leauge is everyone working AS A TEAM, and with sturridge age and selfishness (which i feel is a good thing just not at the moment) Torres would get my vote to start against city. Lets get him rolling, got another goal wednesday, the next game get a few under his belt then when/if we make a final this season we have a confident Torres that we have faith in to be a match winner and them shit arse piss take photos/comedy pictures of how Torres cant score will be forgotten and we have the Torres that used to score for jokes !!! And id just like to say on hearing he wanted to show is Tshirt for fabrice, all i can say to that is release a statemnet at the end of the game go to a camera and show it ! that to me is silly but wish all the best to fabrice and his family and hope he pulls through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLionheart 516 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Torres had a very good game by his recent standards but don't think he is revived yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 These goals were important. I said it a few pages earlier in this thread, but Torres is incredibly vital to success in the run-in. We basically have games every 3 days til May, so if we can get him firing, it'll be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I sincerely hope he can build on this. There will be a lot of people expecting him to flop next time, I really hope he is finding form because as KieranVogel pointed out, he will be vital!

capriccioso 2,545 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 No way. Drogba must start, its the big games where he usually puts out his best. Torres can start but he'll have to cut inside from the wing. Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 After seeing Torres looking confident and banging the goals in again, maybe this will give us some hope.If we get past Benfica, he has a magnificent record against..... I also saw another vid that showed Nando scoring loads of penalties, he's actually a great penalty taker. Wonder why he don't take em any more? Strange.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Happy for him, for months now he's had 'near' perfect games where he does everything except from scoring, but today he finally did it all.Just have to hope he has no intention of stopping, we need him in this run of games, 'cos Drogba can't start every game every 3 days.I think rotation makes more sense than pairing them up....even if Daniel is the villain of the moment, he can still contribute to the team with his explosive pace.

I would love to see him enter late in a match vs. tired legs. His pace could really open a pitch up & setup some Blue Goals Justin_3d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Come on guys, the first goal came from an awful shoot, and the second one was a poor header that somehow the keeper let in.The fact some of you are happy that a 50m striker scored in FA Cup game against Leicester is laughable. Kalou also scored today.Only way to start him in the big matches until the end of the season is using him as a right wing, replacing Sturridge.

Henrique 9,133 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Torres deserves to be starting anyway whether it's rw or striker. He offers more than selfish Sturridge, he runs back and actually passes the ball.Torres deserves to find another team in next season.

Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Brilliant performance.If he scores a few more I reckon we should loan him out to Genk francozola, Mceachran, BlueLion. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
