Kinol 337 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Didn't read any of the earlier posts tbh.Very confident in Torres this season - playing with other players that are football intelligent - now he has a few players trying to pick him out and spot his runs rather than just Juan Mata.I like what I see so far.This is also a thing that is bugging me because i get the feeling that Torres will "waste" some of the intelligence weve got in the team. What i mean is, for example, that if Torres scores maybe 10 goals this season thanks to them another striker would score maybe 15. I just think he lacks the striker instics of being at the right place at the right time and so on. And im not really talking about some one with a 35 million price tag like Cavani. I think that someone like Cisse from Newcastle would be a great improvment for us, someone that likes to score for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Should have done better during this play, did brilliantly to create the opportunity for himself.one of the moves he use to do every other week with Liverpool, why has it taken 18 months for us Sheva. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 one of the moves he use to do every other week with Liverpool, why has it taken 18 months for us he has been doing that kind of stuff ever since he signed for us! i see him all the time ghost past players like their not even there! he usually goes past one or two players then either passes or gets tackled by the last defender, but he has been ghosting past players ever since he signed for us! but people still think he has lost his pace and trickery for some reason!

November33rd 84 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 He sucks now because he's one dimensional, he needs other players to perfectly set him up so he can run on to the end of passes and slide them in. His link up play is terrible, he goes invisibile for large stretches of games because he only gets involved when others serve him up passes on a silver platter. Add that to the fact that he has almost no ability to create something out of nothing and create chances/goals for himself now. Oh yeah...and then there's the fact that everytime he gets the ball he appears hesistant and indecisive which gives defenders time to close on him before he can do anything. His lack of confidence is another big reason why he has struggled. His lack of aggression in attacking is always going to make it hard for him to be a threat. daBlackMamba7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (Even last year when Drogba wasn't scoring he was still creating chances for others with his passing and crossing. When do you ever see Torres create a chance for a teammate?Wouldn't the 15+ assists he had last season totally go against this point? remember the game against Benfica away?Torres brilliantly set up Kalou. Or the cross to Mata against Man utd.He set up Ivanovic twice from corners against Villa. There are many others, but whatever lol. couris, The Rising Sun, nofreakingway and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good strikers should be able to create chances for themselves, but also the other players on his team too.

sleazyB 58 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I don't think ANY striker in the world would of had a good season last year with the way Chelsea were playing. Every game I watch of his I am always impressed by something he does. He is still a classy player, and this will be his season. So let's chill with the cavani talk and let FT be the main man for once in his Chelsea career. If he doesn't start scoring goals, then it would be obvious the player is broken, and not the system. My biggest complaint of his, is that he seems to be a whiney bitch. I remember one clear time during reading that he would've scored a brace if he wasn't complaining to a referee about a supposed foul. But anyways this shall be a very exciting season. It is great times to be a Chelsea fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I thought he was extremely lazy yesterday (still looks short of fitness to me ) but to claim he's started the season terribly only tells us you have an obvious agenda.If you've followed Torres from his Atleti days his one glaring weakness has always been his inconsistent first touch. When he's on form and confident it's usually brillant but when he's having a poor game it's as bad as Rooney's. Just the way he'll always be, it seems.I thought he started the game very well with some clever layoffs to Hazard & Mata early on in the first half and was involved in the build up to THAT Ramires chance. Thought it was obvious he was clearly frustrated after Ramo went for glory to me it looked like he was sulking for the rest of the game.His workrate has been very poor so far this season but he has had several brilliant solo runs so far this season to be fair to him. He had 2 or 3 against City. Blatant penalty not given against Wigan after a vintage run and then he had that moment of genius the fake and the nutmeg before of course he scuffed his shot in our last game. That was something that looked like had escaped his game last year.He has 13 goals in his last 17 starts.2 in 3 to start the season (could easily have been 4 in 3 had Ramires squared that chance and he had a shot cleared off the line against WIgan).By no means am I saying he's been perfect so far but there have been some promising signs so far in my opinion. Hope he steps it up against Newcastle. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
