Barbara 15,149 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Exactly, not to mentioned that Red Card more easily given in PL than La Liga, right? He must be careful indeed, one headbutt and he will be red carded and at least 3 match suspension, also there is FA who could make it worse. While in La Liga he might only just given yellow card.And then we are back with Torres and Drogba.... just like the old days, huh, just like the old days..He hasn't gotten even one RC while there and if anything I believe the referees are way softer in La Liga than EPL - soft in the meaning that they give fouls and cards more easily. The slightest contact is called a foul and therefore what here wouldn't even be labeled as a foul, there could even get a player booked.

Card stats comparison might be the answer then. Well, hopefully Costa doesn't get any red card here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 If Torres went to a club that could cater to him, and build their entire system around how he plays, he'd easily score 25 a season. He is as good a finisher as Aguero or Costa, the difference is those guys got about 5 chances a game last season - Torres was lucky if he got even one. We've killed Torres, the fact he continues to show glimpses of how good he can be is testament to that. I want him to leave for the betterment of his own career, because he is still a brilliant striker. TheIceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 and then people say torres was not given a fair chance. 3 and a half years of shit and people STILL think its our fault. i can only hope that alex was being sarcastic. as for reading some of the sympathy torres is getting on the page before, i jus am baffled. so we should empathize with him cos he is earning 10mil a year and doing fuck all for it!!!

I want him to leave for the betterment of his own career, because he is still a brilliant striker. 2 years ago I would have said you lost it...when he arrived here I was one of his biggest detractors, and absolutely hated it when he started games over Drogba.But after the Benitez season and the last one, I can see that Torres' poor record is not entirely his fault. Service has indeed been appalling. Granted he doesn't have the same fitness and the man has missed plenty of guilt-edged chances during his time here, but that's typical of any forward who hasn't settled into a good run of form or games for that matter..he really is a confidence player. The change from being labelled as top 2 or top 3 in the world to almost championship level flop is not easy for any player to take.And yes, it would be better for him to pack off to another team though I suspect Mourinho rates him for his work ethic (yes I think he actually does) and wants to use him as a utility player.

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I don't even mind him staying as Costa and Fabregas both seem to have a good relationship with him and could make him feel better. He knows he's been a failure but at least he's still trying to help us and do a job for us. He's not moaned much and has always mentioned how grateful he is to the fans for the support he's received in the 4 years he's been here. It's a squad game, he wants to play and he wants to help. We've all slated him, there's 700 pages of it. Nothing will change. stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee25 1,044 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Against Vitesse, Costa had three one-on-ones with the keeper. In the same game with the same players, Torres couldn't so much as get a sniff at goal.Isn't this "no service" narrative getting a bit old? didierforever and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
