Fernando Torres

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

No. The problem then was when Oscar ran with the ball, instead of running wider and create that space between himself and Distin, he kept on running so closely to him. When Oscar played the ball into his path, Distin was too close to him and allowed the chance to clear it! Had Torres create that gap between him and Distin, the latter won't have a chance to clear it and Torres would have scored as the through ball from Oscar would be played in perfectly to his path.

the commentator was like Torres so close to oscar,like he wants to hold hands. Made me laugh so hard.

I looked at our team sheet today and saw that only mata and lampard are proper "important matches" goal scorers in our team.

I just hope demba ba adds to that cos torres just disapears too much in important times, its appauling.

If the result was different I would blame him for the two wasted opportunities (the misscontrol in the box and the counter 90+ min). However, now I prefer to look at the positives. His general link-up play was good and he participated in the build-up play for both goals. Additionally, he won a fair amount of headers, although Distin who by the way had a great game was bossing him for the majority of the game. If that is not enough we can console ourselves with Rafa's cliche 'He does a great job defending corners'. Haha fair enough.

I hope all the Ba talk is true and he pushes Torres to his limits.

What I really like about Torres, is when the ball gets played to him and your supping your beer, you know you can take your time and you wont spill any

I completely agree with you - he is playing like shit, but he's also scoring. That's what I expect from a striker, so I'm not going to complain whilst he's putting the ball in the net.

We can discuss this from other perspective.

He is scoring, but remember how many chances he misses. Not to speak about chances in important games, like vs. Corinthians.

What the fuck does it mean to you if he scores 20 goals, but misses 100 clear chances?

Imagine you had someone better instead of him. That better striker would score, for example, 80 goals and that is a huge difference.

We are top club and we must always strive to improve, and Torres is simply not good enough. Fuck stats, fuck his few goals vs Aston Villa and Nordsjaeland.

You have to consider that he always loses possession and his shit performances have bad influence on team.

Striker must do much more than just scoring goals, especially in a top club.

So Torres - still not good enough.

Anyone going on about "i want Demba Ba in right now because of Torres's first touches", then don't expect much.

Demba Ba has a very average first touch, infact it's nothing good at all and certainly not good enough to get him into top 4 level, but his game doesn't rely on that. He is brilliant at getting on the end of any delivery. He's a good finisher with great technique, can strike a great volley as well. Not in a creative type way but Demba Ba does possess flair, as in scoring his goals, he will special ways that people wont know how to do when he grabs his goals. Like i used to love watching Ba because he scores with a swagger.

I suppose if hes got his superdouper striker headband on against QPR theres always the chance we could hit double figures

as u said ba CAN score and even though his first touch is not that good but i think he compensates it with his shielding and holding,i.e, i dont think he loses as many balls as torres does.

[Madmax 9,219]

Was he even in the box for our second goal? A 34 year old Bosman can get on the end of those loose balls but nor Mr Euro Golden Boot.

I would love a more clinical strikers too but... come on. 80 goals? Since when does Messi play for Chelsea?

[JLC 13]

Honestly there is no winning for Torres at Chelsea. People yell at him to score goals and when he does, people yell at him to be better all around. He's good striker, not a great one and it would benefit Chelsea greatly to bring in somebody better.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Lukaku would have benefited coming back in January.He would have thrived with the service we have now and could have really established a start to his Chelsea career.Its not always that you have a striker crisis at Chelsea Fc and this situation would have been his opportunity to kickstart his career at this club.
