Fernando Torres

What happened to Torres' hand? He's had it wrapped since he was with Spain.

Glad to hear the investigation is over. Now I can rest comfortably.

'splain yourself, lucy...

Sorry, I didn't get the joke since it looked like any other posts you've made about Torres.

I'm just honest about Torres. You don't have to get it. Until he does something that convinces me i'll continue to have my opinion. Don't like it, don't read it. Simples.

The internal Chesea/Torres/they're old and slow investigation is over according to the media.

Sorry, didn't realize you were so thin-skinned. It's a forum, where posts are usually replies to others. Did you read anywhere I asked not to reply? Not to post? Not to state your opinion? But I'll keep your advice in mind, thanks.

Okay, well that was a quick one then. The media will have to find another 'Torres scandal' now.

I'm not going to go overboard, I thought Torres played well and had a very Torresque performance--in and out of the game, flashes of brilliance along with some really iffy touches, etc.

I actually think Torres played better for the Stoke game but was more productive today because of players on the pitch who weren't around for the 1st game. Hope we don't regret the two dropped points for that game. How great would it have been to have Mata, Meireles and Sturridge for that one.

He was alright yesterday and he definitely got some confidence back. 2 assists and a full match will make him feel much relaxed. Who knows what can happen against Manu...

Was obviously fired up for this one. Got into great positions and worked hard for the team, which is a start. Just lacking in the finish., but won't complain if he sticks a couple in the onion bag up at Old Toilet.

The last assist was good but a Striker with confidence would have buried it himself. Shows Torres is lacking confidence and hence he decided to lay it to Mata.

On the contrary. He is obviously the most desperate man out there to score and get people off his back. So he could have easily grabbed that chance and tried to curl it past the keeper but instead displayed commendable team ethic and chose to do the right thing and ensure a comfortable ending to the game while forgoing personal glory.

Danny had some heavy touches too.

Danny had some heavy touches too.

Mm.

He also faded in and out the game too, Torres (to his credit) tried to get involved a lot more. Not downplaying Sturridge's contribution though.

He was good last night. I wish he had taken a first time shot when Mata (?) crossed it low but was an alright attempt and forced a very good save by the goalie. A few unlucky moments as well; the shot in the first minute, the goal that was ruled out for offside, the great header from the Cole cross where he managed to twist his body to get the header but unfortunately couldn't get enough power on it. The second assist in particular was quality!!

He just needs to get a couple of goals in a match and he will be much better. Obviously, I hope Man Utd will be that match but I think Fulham in the CC next week would be a decent shout! Know that there'll probably be rotation but I'd like to see Torres play some part if he doesn't score against Utd.

But you forget. He lacks confidence and if he had missed that people would slack him for not passing it on to an open player and carry on ridiculing him and talking about how pathetic is finishing is.

AVB in the United press conference: "Let's wait and see. I will not help you with your obsession with my striker!"

Exactly what Carlo should have said.
