Fernando Torres

[Manuf 1,448]

Rubbish. I've seen Torres make runs that way too often go unspotted.

Most of the time when he's trying to get into position to run, player with the ball decides to slow the game a bit or pass it to the wing, than comes Bosingwa and we have to start from the beginning...

Yes very true if he does nt put it in row Z he picks the worst pass possible or loses possession!

Secondly, if you don't move around and try to find some space, nobody will give you a good pass. When a good pass is made, it is not all due to the passer, but it is also due to the receiver. Look at Henry's goal. He waved his arms to make Song aware that he was available for a pass, and then he managed to find some space behind the player who was defending on him. I don't know for you, but I am yet to see this kind of action coming from our striker...

Yeah I have been very frustrated by this as well.

It's like a vicious cycle: Torres desperately wants the 'killer' pass from midfield which doesn't come because our midfield is shite -> Torres is frustrated -> Torres tries 50% as hard during the next move to receive the killer pass which doesn't come because our midfield is shite -> Torres is pissed off -> Torres doesn't try anymore.

Fault lies with both parties, but I still maintain that our biggest priority has to be a creative midfielder.

Its nice to see Torres playing with confidence again and not afraid to attempt a shot on goal...

To me, he looked like he was scared of getting even near the goal

[Laylabelle 9,351]

His next fear to overcome He seems quite happy shooting far out..now needs to get closer and not look like 'wtf whose passed me this' when given the ball near goal

Saturday be the day if not next week lol until it bloody happens!!

Crazy to think been here nearly a year

[Ollie 4,400]

If he had just came n did his normal thing, there wouldn't be 127 pages here lol. He will never score goals if he stays out wide and keeps drifting away from where he needs to be, i wish he'd just stay in the fucking box. He needs to be on the end of things like rebounds etc, scraps... no no where near and he wonders why he's scored 4 chelsea goals in a year.

[skeeo 37]

He always makes nice passes for assists but never gets good passes !

Now that was Torres of old today! Very well played my son!

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Played great today, just a pity he hit the bar with that overhead kick. The midfield didn't really help him in anyway the service was poor today

He did? I didn't see that... He just has no luck. Rooney scored his oh kick and went from suckage to pwnage again, something similar could have happened to Torres... but fuck no.

[Kostas 1,468]

I think is what his bad games at Liverpool looked like.

[St Abramovich 175]

His luck has GOT to turn eventually.

[zolayes 14,489]

MOM for me again today.

It's how we scored, sublime overhead kick hit the under side of the bar and just went in of lampards knee. Easily MOTM tonight.

Its time to Torres score.

Sheva at Chelsea was way better than current Torres, he used to try hard, give some good passes, some assists, couple of goals, including in crucial moments of the season, but still remembered as a flop, because when we bought him, it was to score lots of goals.

Same to Torres, he is not supposed to do "everything but score", he is supposed to do nothing but score.

what matters is the result NOT who scores
