Fernando Torres

[The only place to be 11,313]

he was abysmal today

Except for the two goals he created.

[Rmpr 8,977]

he was abysmal today

He actually had a good game today.

If it wasnt for his bad touch in Cole`s cross (1st half), people wouldnt be bashing him much.

[Django 83]

he was abysmal today

No, he wasn't.

that's only because your standards of a good striker have dropped because of Torres

No. Torres played well. Simple as that really.

[Kojo 4,676]

I'm happy but gutted about this, because Torres playing well now means we wont sell him.

I think we will all be happy if he keeps it up, but gutted if he suddenly disappears again. Let's just hope for the best.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I thought it was an ok performance from him and got very lucky for his goal as well.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Torres actually took the shot even when players were in front of him, gave a good pass to mata for the third.

Benitez must have given torres some confidence boosting drugs

So you'd rather have a player continue in bad form?

[DH1988 1,273]

Scored a goal, looks happy, gave Mata the assist

Yes he got lucky with the deflection but seriously how many times have we seen that same shot over the past year and it just get blocked or go out for a corner? Make your own luck - nobody complained in 04/05 05/06 when Lampard scored about a million deflected goals. Don't moan for the sake of moaning.

Okay so where did i say that eh?, obviously i never meant that stop taking me for an idiot.

It's clear that Torres wont carry on his this scoring form, however I'm glad for the goals he's been scoring, but it wont benefit the longterm as we will keep him instead of moving on, it will also mean we wont go for a replacement which could turn out to be a big blow.

there is no reason to say that he still won't be sold or another high profile striker to be brought in.. you are looking at the glass half empty teams pay big money for in form strikers who are scoring in world football.. this could also be a blessing with his fee for transfer increasing.. just a thought

[EBH 283]

He likes to score against weak teams.

[zolayes 14,489]

He's battering the pub teams, as he always has done.

He didnt last season so it is a step forward

[The only place to be 11,313]

People saying he got lucky are ignoring the fact that he took a chance.

Against Sunderland, he took a chance and made a run into the area.

Against Nordsjaelland he took a chance for his second and made a front post run.

Scoring goals is great, but the fact that he's taking a chance and making runs or having a shot is the most important thing. Before he was ponderous and scared. I'm not saying 'he's back' but he's making some of the right noises.

My thoughts exactly. Get him in form and scoring. Then sell him for a huge fee. Buy a great new striker!
