🇪🇸 Fernando Torres

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Imagine if he had scored against Liverpool??? This could hv turned out different.

[Steve 10,227]

Defending at its best

He does the same when trying to score.

[Blue Warrior 109]

If only Torres could be struck by lightning and remember how good he used to be. At this rate he will be pensioned off to Spain.

[Tomo 21,751]

Looks like I'm in the minority but I thought he was the worst player on the pitch. Every time the ball was played into his feet it resulted in a turnover. He caused 3 turnovers, made 18 passes and had a pass success rate of 67%. It's one thing for your striker not to be scoring goals consistently, but when they can't even hold the ball up and are constantly turning over possession each time they touch the ball, it makes it even more difficult to build attacks.

Put it this way, if Eto'o or Ba performed like he did yesterday, there wouldn't be many going on about how 'hard' the supposedly worked.

think we're past the point where we expect output from Torres. Most of the posts on here reek of sympathy now

This, this, this, this, this!

And to make it worse, Torres is the one that cost 50m yet he has less demanded of him for some reason. He just needs to turn up and people will be falling over themselves telling you 'how hard he worked'. Ba does the same and he's a donkey who isn't Chelsea material. You couldn't make it up.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

The meltdown even after a rare decent performance.

[der Kaiser 77]

Dear Santa, all I want is that Fernando finally starts to scoring again!

There's a bigger chance on world wide peace ....

[different level 1,056]

If you want him to justify his price tag that's not going to happen, but he can still be a useful member of the squad. He's our best striker atm, but that doesn't say much as all three of them are lacking goals.

What's worse is that Torres on a lazy day makes Berbatov look like all action, energetic high presser.

People are desperate to find something good in his performances... After three years the denial is still there.

We need to get rid of this cancer from the club. Im sick and fucking tired of him and all the excuses "well he worked hard".

I fucking hope we sell him in january or at least in the summer.. anything else is a disaster.

Hilarious isn't it, i remember against Newcastle he had no chances, and all i heard was "he worked hard" and even more laughably "he scored the winner against City, so surely we can forgive him this one", Eto'o came on and found himself having 2 chances, yes he missed them both but that alone was better than anything Torres done all game, and he apparently was and we should have kept Torres on

Its laughable the favoritism treatment he gets, it use to wind me up but now i just laugh at it. Tottenham fans do exactly the same with Soldado in the fact they make excuse after excuse for his poor performances while bashing Defoe for any little thing but is Soldado does the same thing it's a good sign

[The_Flash 1,144]

Come on I am sure EVEN Fernando would have got those Etoo epic misses...

[The Skipper 20,609]

He wouldn't even be in the position to score them.

[The_Flash 1,144]

Yes he would come on give him that so often he is in that position but like Etoo cant find the net. I really think even he would have got those. We wouldnt have beat City last time without him being in that position.

So let's stick with close-the-keeper-down-but-I-can-do-fuck-all-else Samuel Eto'o then?

That's harsh. His finishing was atrocious but everything else in his game was decent.

[The only place to be 11,313]

He's a striker. Even some of his passes were wayward.

We bought a striker out of semi-retirement at the age of 32 and he's not that good anymore. Why is anyone surprised? It's not his fault.

The problem is that we loaned out a hungry young striker a couple of days later. Eto'o isn't the problem, but he's a symptom of the problem.
