Amblève. 4,995 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well actually we play in a very slow tempo , and Torres is still adapting himself to it , he had also crictised that when he joined chelsea , IMO We should start playing a bit quicker , and the so called creative trio (who hasnt played a single through ball to him) should try to involve him more , than he would come good , and mikel should show some courage , he passes back all the time , even on countersSlow tempo?No single through ball?Mikel only passing backwards?You sure you're watching the same games?! I'm sick of these excuses. They're getting more and more ridiculous everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Las7 951 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Fernando Torres has received tons of through balls and missed eight one on one chances plenty of times failing to even connect with the ball. He gets the ball in a good position takes 3-5 touches and by the time he decides it's time to shoot the ball is already in an opposition player who is running down towards our goal. Torres at this point looks at the referee raises his arms asks for a foul Why should we adapt to a player who in 2 years has not had ONE world class performance - if Torres was actually worth all the effort he would play well despite a team that isn't playing to his strengths, instead he ends up being one of the WORST players on the pitch whenever we end up playing badly.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Matri, Vucinic and Quagliarela were doing just fine. And you know its serie a we are talking about? Complete bs is going there, juve is like United in epl. It doesnt matter how bad they play, they always win by luck, ref help or sth. You know how many offside goal juve scored last season.Why do you feel the need to comment if you have no idea what you are talking about? I watched every Juve game last season and can assure you none of what you said is true.1) Quagliarella scored 4 goals last season, Matri 10, while Vucinic was playing on the wings and not as a striker. The Juve strikers had minimal effect on their season.2) It is true that the Serie A has weakened, but so has the PL. This is evident by the fact that we were the only English club in the CL last season past the final 16 stage. 3) Tell me please, how many offside goal did they score? I can't remember any, the only game-changing decision that went Juve's way last season was the disallowed goal against Milan. But I also remember three matches that ended in a draw where Juve should have had very clear penalties in two of them while they had a goal wrongly disallowed in the third. I actually read an article that analyzed the refereeing mistakes and Juve were the side that lost the most points due to these mistakes among the top teams. On any account, you really shouldn't be so quick to discredit a side that outplayed us at the bridge only a few weeks ago.

I believe that's true, but one gotta wonder why, why our striker doesn't get that much of through balls ? Well well, he received a gem of a through ball three days ago, from Daniel Sturridge. What happend, what was the outcome of this through ball ? A shot ? A dangerous situation ? A goal occasion ? Nothing, nothing happened. Why ? Because Mr. Wonder-Horse didn't move, he didn't feel this passe coming - he simply didn't have the striker's reflex, a reflex that even your fourth rate striker possesses. Why would a player gift a through ball to a team mate when this team mate doesn't have the nose for through balls ? Why would you send a through ball to someone who will fuck up the move nine times out of ten, in the first place ?"and mikel should show some courage , he passes back all the time , even on counters" You do well to mention this fact. Against Swansea, during a counter-attack in the first half, Ladyboy received a good through ball from Hazard, as far as my memory goes. It was two versus two situation. What happened ? Where your average Joe would have tried to out-speed or dribble past the defenders, he ran right into the defender without creating any danger for the goalkeeper... Against Arsenal, Ramires - if my mind corners' aren't too dusty - set him up in a counter-attack, which could, and should, have led to a goal opportunity. Instead of a goal occasion, it led to a face-palm moment : he hit the ball with his back-heel, and the counter-attack was dead. It didn't happen once, but twice. I could go on with such examples ; though it's so frustrating that I'd rather not remind them.And on top of that, if he doesn't do the right calls, isn't in the team's flow, no wonder he receives nothing.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The more I think about Torres, I feel sad for the guy.If he woulda stayed at Liverpool, he woulda been loved but not have won anything. He decided to come to Chelsea, he won a lot but wasn't an integral part of the success.He'll retire, Liverpool won't care for him cause he left them, Chelsea won't care for him cause he provided nothing memorable.That's gotta be depressing for a guy on his time was considered the best striker in the world, yet he's going to retire with not much of a legacy.
