Las7 951 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 He missed an open net - his miss could have effectively cost us the tie considering that Napoli looked fresher and that was our first chance in ET and you don't get a lot of those when chasing the game(how many chances did Napoli get once they were behind?). It was a moment of brilliance from Drogba the men who Torres should of been replacing that provided us the win. Torres was bought for 50 million pounds to be a striker and in our biggest games he is a liability in forward position. A 34 year old out-of-form Drogba is a better option in every sense of the word - I just want to see the back of Torres in the summer and no amount of tracking back will change the fact he is a complete and utter failure of a striker since joining us. That is all, don't take it personally if you though he did well for me he can f off in the summer manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! zolayes 14,489 Posted March 14, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted March 14, 2012 many single incidents could cause a loss , people with agendas will focus on what suits them . If you couldnt see the work rate Torres put in .then it is pointless trying to convince you . oh btw I thought Kalou was faultless tonight Severinb, neel, kiaretta985 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Ollie 4,400 Posted March 15, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted March 15, 2012 Torres' angle was quite tight and with his state of mind it was always gonna be a hard chance. Who actually thought he would score it? I for sure didn't but credit to him in the rest of the game for his commitment to the cause. At least he gave his all and that's all we ask for. zolayes, francozola, Sheva. and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francozola 2,040 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't know what to make of him. It's observable that he has lost a lot of passion for football. When other players are going crazy over penalty appeals, goals & celebrations after the game, he doesn't react in the same way. I'm sure he's pleased when the team achieves good results but he's terribly frustrated and unhappy at the general situation he's in. He's just not enjoying football at all. If you look at highlights from yesterday's match, pretty much every "joyous" moment that we had, he wasn't really that enthusiastic. He's not going to get that back until he starts scoring consistently. LDN Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in quite a performance last night though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I was so proud of his work ethic yesterday. I agree with FrancoZola though, he didn't react to the result and he kind of just walked away like he was a Napoli player. I think its the fact that Drogba is 34 years old and he's still out competing him for a starting role, please do remember he was the best finisher in the world once upon a time and it can't be easy watching Didier still playing like a world beater at his age. People say things like '' well its a team game he should be happy for Didier'' sadly life does not work like that especially for strikers who compete on productivity.

Though Torres was bright when he came on and looked up for it. if he has scored he would of been a hero i think if he had hit it first time he would of scored instead of taking an extra touch...

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 ... if he had hit it first time he would of scored instead of taking an extra touch...Thats going to be his Stamford Bridge epitaph. At least he wasnt getting dogs abuse like he was at Brum and WBA, people were actually cheering his work ethic last night. Can do his confidence no harm...

Las7 951 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 When have our fans ever been un-supportive of Torres? I mean whenever I've gone to matches he gets more support than most other players that out perform him or have done far more for the club than him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Everything is possible, but my faith in him is really low at the moment and he has brought it there.One thing that is positive now though, is that if the whole team starts playing well and gets a run of good games, things will be much easier for Torres. Score a few tap ins here and there and try to improve on that. Small piece of magic after that somewhere and he could do well.It's essential for him not to give up at all and keep believing in himself.

Popular Post! Tomo 21,751 Posted March 15, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted March 15, 2012 What i don't understand is why does Torres get away with shit performances because he puts effort in but not Kalou?For the record i don't think either are any good and with a full squad neither should be any where near the team. But some double standards i have seen with Torres in this last year has been astonishing.

Tomo 21,751 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't know why you always have to bring up Kalou, and Torres never gets away with shit performances.Even when he is doing shit he gets the most support, in the Sunderland match i went too when Torres messed up and miscontrolled the crowd applauded and were like unlucky, Malouda did something identical 2 minutes later and the crowd cursed and called him every name under the sun.
