ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I think Eto'o has done well so far, he links up well, and has still got pace, but the shirt is Torres'. Barbara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 He has had good moments like these every season for us, except his first half season. But something happens and he stops trying again. I do hope this lasts more than the others, because we look so much better in attack when he's hungry and skinning defenders.

Barbara 15,149 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm not saying it's going to last... but it's not the same way that happened in previous seasons.He has never played the way he's been playing now in a Chelsea shirt. I'm not talking about quality, but dedication, passion and confidence.In previous seasons he showed flashes of being a good striker. Now he's showing for a month (let's not forget it's been a month) to be a team player.So I think we can argue, doubt and question if this isn't another short spell like in the past, but I don't think it's 100% accurate to say we've seen it before. I personally have never seen this Torres in a Chelsea shirt. Actually some of this actions in the field I don't remember seeing in any shirt, except Atletico's. Again I'm talking about attitude, not striker qualities. Dion, kellzfresh, The Skipper and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yeah, but when you lose your pace for 3 yrs and have had parts of your knees removed, it's kinda surprising. To me at least.Yeah, very fair point. But I've read he is doing a lot of conditioning work by himself in the gym to improve his strength (if you look at him, you can tell he has bulked up a fair bit), and I imagine he is still doing a lot of running training to improve his speed and stamina. Hard work pays off. yuvala and Kieran. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm loving this Torres of late. He's the one to watch tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea75 3 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Looking forward to tomorrow as well. Torres has looked sharp this season and I hope to see him continue to play well. I think Mou has really figured out how to use and motivate Torres long term. GREAT to see Torres playing well. I hope to see him next year as well in Brazil...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I dont want him to play against teams that park the bus, he plays perfectly against teams that attack us. I hope mourinho goes back to sticking with that The_Flash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NishC300 1,865 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 He's no good in games where we dominate possession and our opponent is more than happy to park the bus. He's useful in counter attacking situations where he can use his directness and pace and get 1 on 1 with players. Eto'o made things happen yesterday as soon as he came on and I think he's better against teams that park the bus because he can use his intelligence. Moreover in counter attacking situations Eto'o seems to lack the pace which is wh: Torres vs sides that don't park the busEto'o vs sides that do.Ba vs pub teams kellzfresh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
