manpe 10,861 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The first assist seemed to be a failed header, or did he mean it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahul Haque 57 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 did everything right in the last 3 games apart from score. he gives us a real sense of urgency and pace in attack. i've been hugely critical of ramires but this guy is kicking my ass and proving me wrong, and that's brilliant. if he can utilise his brilliant pace and running ability we can use him. either in the midfield or on the flanks.

Rahul Haque 57 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 for me now torres is the first choice striker in our team Daniel Wachala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I watched only the last 30 minutes of yesterday's game but he didn't look particularly bothered to me. Despite getting 2 assists I'd say he looked more similar to the Torres we saw against Tottenham than the one against Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I watched only the last 30 minutes of yesterday's game but he didn't look particularly bothered to me. Despite getting 2 assists I'd say he looked more similar to the Torres we saw against Tottenham than the one against Wolves.I wasn't surprised he couldn't have a big impact due to the fact that Pompey played really defensively and we struggled to break through them. He did try and moved well, but rarely he got a ball and there were a lot of people around him.Hell, I'll be happy if he assist 2 times when he is not playing well every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 He needs to get in the freaking box more often. A lot of other players are getting in the box including Ramires and they are scoring, its almost like he's hiding now. He had a good header on target but what other times did we see him in the box ?

francozola 2,040 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Havent seen the game yet but this "2 assists!!!!" talk is laughable. Because that first one shouldn't even be considered an assist. He had no idea where Ramires was and he wasn't looking for him.

Kostas 1,468 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 He did try and moved wellBy his standards that would be more than enough for me. But unfortunately he is more inconsistent in terms of workrate than you'd expect a player in his form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las7 951 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I hope we sign a forward or right winger in this transfer Window, I don't think we can put all of our chips on Torres and Lukaku isn't ready according to AVB. So we need to get someone as a forward or get a right winger and move Sturridge centrally. A lot of people forget that Torres's time at Chelsea has been pretty much injury free, but he is a striker with a history of a few months missed due to injuries. I don't think that a player that's hiding from goals can really lead us into the difficult fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good header on target but what other times did we see him in the box ?Thats part of the confidence and form problem. He under, over, or just plain mishits shots because he's afraid of failing. The hiding in the box (apart from being a funny mental image) is just another tell-tale sign. If he could just get a couple of goals or go on even a short stretch of scoring, he could find his form and confidence again. Shame.

Can see him scoring in a couple of games (well maybe,) and then getting sidelined with an injury.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no idea where Ramires was and he wasn't looking for him. exactly what I've been trying to say... I'd give the assist to Mata tbh. And during the first goal Mata was where Torres should (normally) be, but I think he wasn't even in the box when Malouda ran in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, that was my first thought... It was a fairly routine goal for a striker who gets proper passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldo 868 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Mata made a wonderful pass to Torres against Wolves, but he somehow managed to fall. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I knew that Wolves performance would be a false dawn, I've learnt not to get excited over anything close to a 'good' performance from Torres, which are few and far between. manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
