🇪🇸 Fernando Torres

[Danelka 209]

He will start the next match, and bang 2 goals. You read it here first. :>

[Las7 951]

Soldado has more chances banging two goals in the next game

Expect Spain to progress from their group with Torres possibly scoring one goal in an already decided game, than they will blow out in the next round since there isn't Villa to provide them with the 1-0 win.

This is just plain disgusting, 15 minutes of play and people here already judged him.

[1chelsea 864]

wtf is wrong with u guys the touch is getting better on like before as soon as the goal start coming none of u, i none of u guy will any to say to urself. We and we won the league. Almost all yo got believe in him. Go check our fcukin performance through out the season i believe will u understand. He is our attacker this believe cos that how we got here all u hater should fcuk off him

[osgoodisgod 150]

What narks me is he has the cheek to say play me or sell me, start scoring son and someone might want to buy you, until then get the finger out and stake your claim for a start or make yourself worth something.

He should have scored with the chip, he didn't need to round Buffon (that sounds bad..) but he wasn't long on and the pitch was bobbly for the first chance. If you tell someone they're shite long enough then they'll believe it and while he doesn't have a pineapple on his head then it might have that effect.

Having said that a misfiring Torres for 10 minutes shouldn't carry the can for the rest of the team misfiring for 90.

I'm judging him on a year and a half of being awful. Is that enough time for you?

because he missed 2 good opportunities.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Ahh,I knew it.Some of you turning your back on Torres already.20 minute game was enough for you all to criticize him.Not saying he played very well but wasn't terrible either.The confidence is back and I am sure the goals will flow out of him.Needs a confident Euro campaign,don't expect him to score a goal every game.

You all will eat your words when he scores in the next game or whenever he plays and no I am not an optimist.

1 goal will not repaid the 50 mil.

Our whole squad could be so much better without Torres.

We sell Torres.

We play Sturridge in his CORRECT position.

We FINALLY have a good English striker again.

With Torres gone, Lukaku is the back-up/rotation option, with Hulk capable to play as the striker if needed.

When Sturridge is tired out or we're against a weaker team, Lukaku shines. In fact, Lukaku shines so much, that the manager doesn't know who to pick when, at around Christmas time, we face Manchester United.

Di Matteo takes a gamble, and plays them both up front.

We play a cautious game.

Welbeck scores an audacious goal, running from the half way line, jolting past our defenders, exchanging a one-two with Kagawa, to then chip poor old Cech. This goal is quickly ruined by a Vidic own-goal from a Mata-taken corner just minutes later after Cahill headed the ball onto Vidic's left boot.

For the rest of the game, we hoof long balls up to Lukaku who battles against a shook Vidic, holding the ball up and flicking it past the final defender for the pacey Sturridge to latch onto.

Chance, after chance, after chance... and then a goal. 2-1.

Sturridge makes his biggest impact as a Chelsea player.

Full time.

After seeing the success of Lukaku, faith is restored in the Chelsea board and management, and they now again believe that we CAN indeed succeed with our youth.

Over the course of the season, we bleed in the likes of Josh McEachran and Todd Kane against Wigan, Reading etc, even Chalobah, Feruz and Piazon get a few cup games.

We're finally looking towards the future.

January comes, and unlike usual, we don't need to splash the cash on some panic-buy.

Our players are happy, playing with confidence, and we're sitting nicely in 2nd place, just 4 points adrift leaders Manchester City.

Match day comes on the first weekend of January, and we face the blue half of Manchester under floodlights while the snow beats down.

Sturridge, with 13 goals already to his name this season, marks his return to his old club with his first Chelsea league hat-trick. Heroic is the only word.

Lukaku is an unused sub.

Hulk came on for Sturridge in the 83rd minute as Marin started on the right.

We're now 1 point behind Manchester City, who have United, Arsenal and Newcastle for their next 3 games.

We have Southampton, Liverpool and Norwich City.

We're getting back to the top.

(I can dream, right?)

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Come january, we will hit the panic button and sign Cavani.

And that was the whole reason we went panicking for Torres and payed 50 mill last time.

I hate this situation. I hope the board and RDM can resolve this issue during the summer.

[royg 96]

Yeah, podolski got 90 mins, van persie got 90 mins... All of this shit strikers will be absolute shit next season because they didnt score.

Im just saying please judge him when the season starts and he still struggles.

You can even try it out in Football Manager. If it doesn't work, you can still load the save again.

That ship has already sailed.

[Ollie 4,400]

Lmao i knew thisd thread will be hot again. You guys are pathetic, really, really sad. He was on the pitch for about 20 minutes has had a few opportunities to score, he got the opportunities because he made great runs and his movement was good. The first one, Buffon stayed up and didn't sell himself, was good goalkeeping. The occasion when he wanted to pass back, he didn't do much wrong but the movement from the other guy was shit and gave him only that pass to play. Was never gonna get through and the 3rd occasion Buffon came out, the chip was just very unlucky. If he had played the whole game, he woulda had more chances and probably scored. Can't believe this thread get all active because he missed a chance. Unbelievable. He did a lot in those 20 minutes.

[xPetrCechx 13,571]

If Torres will not come back to at least half of his form, i hope that chelsea board will save this season ( Before it starts) and buy other striker.

1. had to shoot and not to try pass the GK.

2. had to pass to Navas.

[Leif 6,006]

This frustration isn't from the game today. He had a good cameo.

Instead, for me anyway, this game just allows me to release the frustration I've built up now that he's worn THREE different Chelsea home kits, and only scored 7 league goals.

It's not about his runs, it's an issue of mentality Torres seems to expect a certain treatment; team to play a certain way; certain team mates; but in terms of mentality in big matches he seems to lack the balls required to succeed. He hasn't dealt with the pressure of being in a club challenging for trophies and needs someone to take the pressure off him. He seems to shy away from doing things instinctively, which he will naturally do if he wasn't a player with such fragile mentality and confidence. This is what worries me personally banking everything on a guy who is injury prone and has been a mental wreck. Every time things pick up for him he winds up in the same hole a few days later - and his real stand out performances for Chelsea FC were against Genk; LC; Benfica all games where the pressure wasn't quite as high as later matches during which he was watching Drogba do his thing from the sideline.

He is 28 year old, I'd expect a little more balanced individual at this point of their career, there isn't a lot more time for CFC to wait for Torres, if he doesn't score regularly in our first 5-10 games he should be dropped and sold off in the winter, just so we get his wages off our bill.

[November33rd 84]

It's hilarious how people here are saying he is being judged off of just 10 minutes on the pitch like we haven't been watching him play the same way for a year and a half. Give me a fucking break.
