Fernando Torres

This guy is terrible. How many simple chances does he miss every single game? Embarrassing.

Yes he should put away more of them but he's scoring goals. Thats good enough for now.

He wont get too many chances against big teams. I dont get why he doesnt shoot when he is clear on goal. He often takes another touch and this has been going on since last season. He may score a goal but he should have had a hattrick yesterday

Main point for me is that he scored against both Man City and Arsenal - so he iss starting to score against the teams that matters most then i wouldn't care. I do agree he could score more, like the one yesterday against Ruddy, but you can clearly see in his reaction that he is looking for goals now, which is better then last year, and it is just his finishing letting him down. Hopefully some lessons from Hazard would help, or Ivanovic.

I've not seen much from Hazard to suggest he's better at finishing.

If we want someone to press upfront, why dont we just but Ramires as a CF and let him run and press all night long, and if we want someone who can link up well with the others we can put Hazard there and have Moses, Oscar and Mata behind him.

The thing im trying to tell you is that we have a striker mainly because we want those major striker attributes in our teams, some which i think Torres lacks

My opinion: Its obvious that sme pple do not understand the trends of a good modern striker. Torres has struggled at chelsea but now he is scoring goals sme people don't know better but to be sacarstic. Every one wants falcao but who is to say he will not faulter like sheva or initially torres. Note: sheva is one of the all time greats in champions league history and torres has wrecked havoc on just about every big club or country there is. What I am saying is we shuld not go for already made strikers anymore but build on what we have I.e sturridge and lukaku and if at all we need a good striker we shuld not pay over the odds. At the moment chelsea is as creative as we can hope for so falcao has nothing new to offer us even if he is more prolific than torres as we have sturridge who is also very prolific.

You actually have a point there to be fair

He scored and played ok. Hes not back though, calm down bitchez.

This. Balanced comment finally. Nando does still have a lot of work to do - fact.

Compared to the last two season's he is doing much better, but regardless of the form he is in we should get a new forward at the very latest next summer. Even if he scores 30 goals this season.

Why? Because improving teams when you are on top keep top team's at the top also after the double season we didn't bring in any players to challenge Malouda, Lampard and Drogba based on their form in the double season and we all know what happened there.

EDIT: i meant latest not earliest so changed it.

Agree. I just hope we don't go for a big-money striker. But more importantly, a different type of striker. Someone who can play with his back to goal and hold the ball.

For 50 Mil? after 2 years ?! NO!

You bore me mate no offence, everytime you read some positive comments about him you opened the bashing gate. How about show some respect and support? At least before January the transfer window opens again ok?

I see some serious improving comparing to the last season. Still not on the level he needs to be though.

Imo, he's still the weakest link in our team.

Torres

The first goal is a good control of the ball, and confidence to shoot instead of dribbling

The 2nd goal is a typical example of the striker creating the goal for himself. Thats exactly how falcao scored us last time. push the ball to his right foot, and shoots. No need to dribble the defender.

Torres

Can't believe how he turned from what he was to what he is now ......Worst transfer in history of football.
