🇪🇸 Fernando Torres

I believe the thing with Torres is in his mind. He is an instinctive player who would score at will when his confidence is high and would faulter when it is down. A good people manager is something which can do load of good to a player like Torres. After AVB I believe that is what is happening, RDM looks like a people manager and he is punching in that motivation which is so much needed at the Bridge right now. The difference I believe is so promient in the Villa game where Torres was actually trying to hit the ball in the back of the net which he has not been doing quite often in the past. The last goal was Vintage Torres for me. I hope he now cashes on this momentum because it would not only take him a long way but would also help Chelsea in all the future matches.

He's been very good lately lets hope it can continue, all it takes is one 'bad moment' and he's back to square one.

Im not too confident we will get the best out of him at-all due to those 2 goal droughts but if we do i will eat the best tasting humble pie on the planet.

Huh?

Ah yes, some rationale.

I'll tell you what amazes me. I was just looking in the Torres transfer thread, and the last post I seen was somebody saying that whilst Torres may have a bunch of assists, he only pops up for 5 minutes to give the assist and then becomes anonymous. Between that and Las7's 5 clear cut chances theory, I do wonder if people actually pay any attention to the games at all.

I missed the first 30 minutes of today's match. I popped on to the other forum I use and asked what I missed only for some Newcastle supporter to tell me Torres had "fluffed" multiple chances. So as you can imagine I'm thinking the worst. Then I see replays of Torres hitting shots and defenders sliding in within about a foot of him and making brilliant blocks, and naturally I'm left scratching my head at this guys "fluffed" and Las7's "scuffed shots" assessment. Sometimes I think people get the impression that playing football is like playing FIFA. Hold B and point in the general direction of the net for an instagoal.

I'm all for fair criticism, but what bothers me about Torres's critics which includes many of our own fans, is that virtually each and every shot that doesn't end up as a goal is automatically labelled as "poor". Some of the efforts I've seen the guy called out on wouldn't get a second look if it were anybody else. And what makes it all worse, is when people sit and moan about Torres and then talk about Drogba is if he's on fire, when in fact, it's a toss up between who's had the worse season.

Sometimes I think people forget what exactly we have in Torres. If this guy gets back to his best then we're laughing. And I think the objective supporters among us can see that right now, he's a better option than Drogba.

There's no excuse, Torres should of scored the first chance i don't care what you say.
