TrippingStep 336 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 He was rightfully mad at the ref today..The ref was awful but Torres seemed pissed very early in the match.He even could have been awarded a red card when he put his foot on the legs on a player that was laid down in the pitch.

Spike 12,049 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Reaction was towards Torres' brilliant contribution.However Squawka claims he made 17 passes. But I'm inclined to believe the match stats more than Squawka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Torres is just really an enigma right now. At times, he looks to be really interested in the game and others, he just doesn't seem to bother at all. His goals are just papering over a huge crack and it only served to give him some respite from time to time. What really frustrates me at the moment about Torres is that whenever he's on the ball, he always tries to take 2-3 players on by himself thinking like he's Messi or something. And more often than not, he always, ALWAYS loses the ball. People always talk about how our midfield can't keep the ball, can't keep it simple, Torres should also be blamed for that. He doesn't want to keep it simple by passing the ball to a nearby teammate and maintain the possession and because of such silly action, we would always find ourselves getting caught out on the counter, needlessly!

Not in playing style or anything, but in my mind they fit into the niché of "Striker that are afraid to shoot". I feel he tries to make sure that every shot results in a goal rather than taking a pot shot like nearly every other foward in the world would do. I think he is afraid of failure and afraid that his finishing will be called into question. It's hard to criticise his shooting when he doesn't take too many shots.

Spike 12,049 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 He has been wrecked, psychologically and mentally!"SHOOT!" - A common scream when Torres is in and around the opposition box. Always disappointed but never surprised when he tries to dribble past 4 defenders and the keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I actually laughed when he stormed off.I am not sure what he would have differently in the last 10 minutes as the spaniard always expected the ball to be passed to his feet.Credit to RDM for subbing him off and giving Danny the cf role instead of the usual winger role.

Torres was hardly doing anything when he was on. Sturridge did well when he came on but 10 minutes was never gonna be enough for him to really make an impact on the game.

meetdoscar 335 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I still don't get y pple are criticizing torres, drogba during his prime had players like Robben duff j.cole lampard kalou essien and later anelka ballack deco most of which are world class players at a glance playing behind him consistently and Yes he was a big game player too but wat has torres got bertrand and ramires neither of ehich are world class wingers with hazard who is still young and no where near lampard at his prime. So unless I see oscar mata hazard or moses playing consistently behind torres to give rhythm to our attack Ill always blame the coach ahead of torres bcos its not hard to see Y we don't create more than 3 chances in every game we play. worst case scenerio RDM will b sacked and a manager who has eyes will put those players in to play. Y sign potentially world class attackers and put them on the bench even garcia made his debut for Mcity against stoke y can't OSCAR or MOSES.
