Fernando Torres

[Henri 115]

This kid aint gonna shine in Chelsea because we aint a club building a team on one player only. Look at his past

when and why was he a killer in front?. Because he was the only one up there getting served. Here he plays

almost as a wing, and there are many players who want the ball and want to finish, and thats not bad except for

the kid. Now he plays like a build up to goal server and our idiot coach says that is good?, that not El Nino!.

Alot of Benching time and a big ego to compite with, yeah,. the great Drog. I really doubt he can shine here

at CFC, but i have no doubt he aint finished yet, and his next club will see him comeback. We just dont have the play

style and time to get him back on track, and who can blame us?. Except i blame our idiot owner for letting his

desire control his brain function.

This is true. Though something I did note v. Sunderland was his persistence to now get into the box. He was forced wide a few times, but he made more efforts than previous to get into the box so others could turn provider. He also showed natural instinct to go to the far back post and attempt to meet Bosingwa's over hit crosses. Sunderland was good game for him, some basic attributes of a striker returned to him.

Long way to go for him to recapture some of the old form & characteristics, but if he builds on that performance we'll see better work ethics. He cannot afford to do another 1 step forward, 2 step backwards scenario.

Bar a couple of sensatinal season's from Didier (06/07 and 09/10) we haven't really had a on form firing forward since JFH, the trick is everyone's a forward and when we do get a forward on top form like Didier the season before last, we hit a new level (103 goals) with Drogba scoring 27 league goals and 37 in all comps and despite that we still won every match he didn't play.

I would hate the day were our team becomes reliant on one player.

I gave up on Torres after today. Will be depressing to read excuses for him from now on.

11 - Fernando Torres has now failed to score in 11 consecutive Premier League appearances, beating his previous worst record of 10 apps (between Jan-Apr 2011). Decline.

[Madmax 9,219]

Patience is really wearing thin for me now.

Step 1 : Buy a right winger.

Step 2 : Play Danni in the center.

Step 3 : Stop wasting time with the Ladyboy.

[Fernando 6,455]

I thought he was ok.

But in the end is the same stuff over and over again. No good wingers, and little creativity in the midfield.

While we blame the coaches and fire them, and never fix this department. Sigh.

Completely agree, no good enough strikers around to sign right now - we need a good right winger who can pass rather than cross

[Las7 951]

I hope we sign a forward or right winger in this transfer Window, I don't think we can put all of our chips on Torres and Lukaku isn't ready according to AVB. So we need to get someone as a forward or get a right winger and move Sturridge centrally. A lot of people forget that Torres's time at Chelsea has been pretty much injury free, but he is a striker with a history of a few months missed due to injuries. I don't think that a player that's hiding from goals can really lead us into the difficult fixtures.

Just quoting myself from the beginning of the month

Sry about the double post

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yeah, even I'm giving up with him now Well, I think I give up with the service into him moreso. But to miss like that... SMH.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

If only we could give up these:

And get back these:

He did ok today. I have still faith on him.

I admire the optimism.

--

The only thing I can say to vouch for him is.. His chances are increasing. Which also means his conversion rate is decreasing..

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

I think that if torres fails to Recover till drogba's return we need to sell him.

[Nic! 301]

"

I thought Lukaku could threaten more in behind and offer more mobility and Fernando was looking tired. Lukaku came in to the game strong and making good movements so sharpness and freshness were why we made the decision..

I think AVB saw Torres' desperation after missing that sitter and that's why he subbed him. Can't say that to the press though.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Seems to be in competition with himself to see how badly he can miss....just gah!!

All his twiddly turney stuff just seemed to lead to nothing and that miss!
