HNKS 508 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Quicker we replace him the quicker we can get back to being Chelsea FC. Watching him is more infuriating than anything else Ive seen. He starts off all energetic, then if he doesnt score by the 15 minute mark, he is moaning and bitching and just looking like a spoilt brat. Ive support him for a long time......but enough is enough.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I mostly agree with you. Torres is the scapegoat now so he's being blamed for everything. (That's the way it goes. There is one player who is deemed "a problem" and draws the ire of the fans). Now, Torres has definitely been very very bad with us. Mostly awful, but the system we play is a poor fit for any striker. Our attack is based on running at defenders. We don't get the ball into dangerous areas with any regularity. It's not like we're getting the ball to Torres in great areas and he's screwing up. He's screwing up 30 feet from the net with 2 defenders in front of him. Yes, he doesn't get into the proper areas enough, but it's not like we provide regular crosses in there anyway. We haven't had a high scoring striker since 2009-2010 and that's not all just Torres. Drogba scored 16 goals in his last 60 league games with us. Anelka scored 7 goals in his last 41 games. I don't think anyone can argue that Torres hasn't been poor, but people who think that getting a new striker in will suddenly fix everything are being delusional. Our offensive issues go far beyond Torres and as our system lies right now, no striker would have prolonged success.The thing is that Torres is the problem. He's a lazy prima donna who can't function with three of the top ten attacking playmakers in European football in behind him. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 oh lol , you guys rate Sturridge so fucking much , that didnt changed anything ? Infact put Falcao instead of Torres , he would fail like every single striker has failed at Chelsea , Mourinho constructed a system around Drogba , which worked only because of Drogba's strength , though Drogba never scored many goals , it was always the midfielders scoring. AVB came , he tried to change that system , but he got sacked due to his communication and handling players problems . RDM came then he reverted the Mourinho system back , which didnt worked and he got sacked . It's not the fucking strikers problems here and i know Torres dont make any runs now , and do you know why ? cause the fucking midfield never passes him a single through ball . He used to make runs at the begining but now he has realised he wont get the ball , that's why he comes deep to collect the ball , and when he first joined chelsea , remember he gave a contreversial statement to a spanish newspaper or TV , about our fucking midfield . Not much has changed =P Benitez in his first match saw this , and he'll work on it and you would witness totally different and better chelsea =PP.S I'm not TROLLINGI only read your first line and yes, you are either trolling or you are incredicle stuipid.PS: Has nothing to do with Sturridge, I didnt even mention him.

Reddish-Blue 2,503 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I bet when the opposing manager sees Torres' name of the team sheet, he has a massive smile on his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 There were 2 moments which especially pissed me off about him.1) During a corner the ball went past him rolling out of sideline. Luiz made a great effort to get to it despite being further than Torres, who even blocked his path. Had Torres reacted, he might have been able to keep the ball in. Nevertheless, it summed up the attitudes of Torres and Luiz, the complete opposites. I wish we had a striker with Luiz's mentality - fight for every ball, no compromises.2) When he started an attack from deep, he gave the ball to Marin on the right and ran up the pitch at full speed. He expected Marin to play a through ball to him and I agree, this is what he should have done, but he severely lacks match practice. The moment Marin missed the chance to make a quick pass to him, Torres made a demonstrative gesture expressing his disappointment.There were a few positives though, like having two shots on goal and one attempt from distance (which was blocked before it could reach the box, but still better than falling over your own shadow).

renanh 311 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I've been thinking about Torres and would like to ask everyone a question.How much would the Torres that came to Chelsea be worth? if we were to ignore his Atlético Madrid and Liverpool stints, judging only by his form in Chelsea.

He passed the ball behind Marin..so Marin had to slow down, get the ball, which allowed Fulham to get 2-3 players back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfall 893 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 He would only have a positive value if he was packaged with Messi. Otherwise, the "selling" team would have to send some cash with him to the "buying" team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renanh 311 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Realistically i would say 5 m euros. How the hell did the european champions end up with a 5m players as their main striker?Especially when we had DROGBA. Bah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
