Fernando Torres

[bushman 2,043]

Jose here, there & ...?

During 90 minutes vs Starta Ferda had 4 clear chances to score but he did not convert them.

His timing is way off. Will it ever get better ? I doubt it. One goal in his last 14 games is just not acceptable.

Ferda had caused more pains for Chelsea than any other player I know of over the years. Something must be done with him at the end of the season. The club cannot rely on him anymore.

He creates space for others instead of scoring goals.Top notch striker.

He might create space for others. Since they call him a striker, maybe he should try to strike a goal or two in occasionally ?

I mean, one goal in 14 games it ain´t much.

He wasn't too bad against Sparta. Produced a fine save out of the keeper when one-on-one and also went close twice in the first half when he shot just wide in the first couple of minutes and then when he hooked one over from close range.

That being said he should be converting one in three as a striker. Just not good enough.

Chelsea interim boss Rafael Benitez believes the team have become too reliant on striker Fernando Torres.

Prior to the arrival of Demba Ba from Newcastle in January, Torres

was carrying the responsibility as Chelsea's main goal threat all by

himself.

And Benitez reckons that has led to a dip in the Spanish international's form of late - with only one goal in 14 games.

"Fernando has been playing 10 games as the only striker we had," said Benitez ahead of Sunday's match with Manchester City.

"The other teams have three or four strikers. Now we have two, so we

have to use both of them. The number of games and the congestion and the

time you have to recuperate players, it's not easy.

"You have to have 11 players as fit as possible with fresh legs, and the right balance tactically. We have to manage.

"I can see him improving. "

Fuck off...

This isnt the first time he says that Torres plays to much etc, but he still plays him regually.

To be fair we have relied on him to perform terribly and he hasn't let us down. Such a consistent player.

If he found himself in that position for us, he'd probably run to the flank and try to win a corner/throw-in, which he would fail to do, because he would chest it out of play himself or the defender would simply take it away.

I know it's just sad to see him play now ): .
