BLionheart 516 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Torres had a very good game by his recent standards but don't think he is revived yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 These goals were important. I said it a few pages earlier in this thread, but Torres is incredibly vital to success in the run-in. We basically have games every 3 days til May, so if we can get him firing, it'll be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corlett 202 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Can't wait until next season to celebrate his next goal Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I sincerely hope he can build on this. There will be a lot of people expecting him to flop next time, I really hope he is finding form because as KieranVogel pointed out, he will be vital!

capriccioso 2,545 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 No way. Drogba must start, its the big games where he usually puts out his best. Torres can start but he'll have to cut inside from the wing. Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 After seeing Torres looking confident and banging the goals in again, maybe this will give us some hope.If we get past Benfica, he has a magnificent record against..... I also saw another vid that showed Nando scoring loads of penalties, he's actually a great penalty taker. Wonder why he don't take em any more? Strange.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Happy for him, for months now he's had 'near' perfect games where he does everything except from scoring, but today he finally did it all.Just have to hope he has no intention of stopping, we need him in this run of games, 'cos Drogba can't start every game every 3 days.I think rotation makes more sense than pairing them up....even if Daniel is the villain of the moment, he can still contribute to the team with his explosive pace.

I would love to see him enter late in a match vs. tired legs. His pace could really open a pitch up & setup some Blue Goals Justin_3d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Come on guys, the first goal came from an awful shoot, and the second one was a poor header that somehow the keeper let in.The fact some of you are happy that a 50m striker scored in FA Cup game against Leicester is laughable. Kalou also scored today.Only way to start him in the big matches until the end of the season is using him as a right wing, replacing Sturridge.

Henrique 9,133 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Torres deserves to be starting anyway whether it's rw or striker. He offers more than selfish Sturridge, he runs back and actually passes the ball.Torres deserves to find another team in next season.

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Brilliant performance.If he scores a few more I reckon we should loan him out to Genk Madmax, Mceachran, francozola and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badboy 1,526 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 He looked revived yesterday but then again look at the opposition. I don't think he should start against City because i would like to see Sturridge isolated against Clichy like he was against Enrique and Evra which lead to goals. Torres can come on for Drogba late in the game ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres can come on for Drogba late in the game !True, whatever people say about Sturridge, he can still make an impact for the team with just a few explosive runs...But, I suspect the City defense will be watching him more guardedly in this match, after what happened in the reverse fixture.

Mceachran 109 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I would take Torres as a STARTER over Sturridge any day. Torres works his off and is always doing the best for the team. I respect Daniel for his ability to look a player in the eyes and say "i'm going to beat you" but he's also extremely selfish, so selfish that he makes others around him not want to make the next run forward into the box. I've been really happy with how Torres has been playing and producing opportunities lately; his attitude has been the most consistent of any striker we have.

manpe 10,861 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Finally saw the match. He was directly involved in 4 goals out of 5, that alone merits him motm award. It was by far his best game for us to date. However, he still missed 2 great chances, but this time I'll overlook it. But I won't be getting my hopes up, he also scored 2 against Genk and then what? I won't believe he's back until he starts scoring more regularly than every 24 games.. I hope he does it though. In his post-match he said interestingly "I feel the support now" or smth like that, hinting that he didn't feel it from AVB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
