Fernando Torres

[Las7 951]

If Ba doesn't play, than FSW and our Board have pretty much sabotaged any chances of a top 4 finish this season, it's a bloody joke - we would have secured top 4 finish if we had played Kalou in front of Mata and Hazard for 2400 minutes. I swear that goal against Basel is probably the first goal Torres scored off a rebound shot this season, most of the time he just looks at disgust from the edge of the area as team mates decide to take a shot instead of threading a ball into his delicate feet so he can loose it, his got the reflexes of a bloody turtle.

"What is this bloody shooting at goal business, pass me the ball into my feet while I'm surrounded by 2 central defenders, bloody idiot"

That's what he is the most likely thing he is probably thinking in his mind, judging from interviews I think he is deluded enough to actually he could do anything when he does occasionally by some miracle actually get that killer ball due to a defensive fuck up by the oppostion.

14 goals in 78 appearances int he League beyond pathetic - the board have done their bloody best to screw us up

I think that since he took that boot to the face, he's said to himself "that's enough of this shit" and he has started to look like player again and 20 goals is still 20 goals incredible I know I had to check.....

This is exactly it. Torres has a lot of goals, but not all goals are equal. A breakdown of his goals in Europe, the league, and in domestic cups.

Goals against top 7 teams in England-One

Goals against mid-table teams (8-13)-Zero

Goals against bottom table (15-20)- Seven

Goals against domestic sides below Premier League-Four

Goals against top European sides (CL)-One (and that's being generous to Shakhtar)

Goals against other European sides-Seven

Against Shakhtar, Juventus, and top of the table through mid-table teams in the Premier League, Torres has played 29 games and scored 2 goals. (numbers might be a tiny bit off due to error in manual calculations, but the effect is the same. Torres has sucked against decent opposition. We didn't pay 50M pounds and insane wages to buy someone who can score against Leeds and Rubin Kazan.)

And that Shakhtar goal was pure luck so it's really 1 in 29.

I can't believe people are fooled by his goals against rubbish teams and think he's doing well. I really hope they're because there's no other explanation for it.

Yes, but the club we trade him to still needs to want to sign him and traditionally 'goals' have been one of the top five things clubs look for in a striker.

Scoring goals in high-profile matches like last night's can only be a good thing in our efforts to ship him off.

Hopefully some clubs that are Europa league level have been watching Torres' performances...

All we need is one decent bid.

Percussive action - a term for hitting something until it starts working again. Alteast now we know the remedy for lack of self confidence. Though, they have been subpar teams to be fair.

Crap footballer and a nightmare we can't get rid of soon enough.

And a massive change in the way the board thinks...He will be here next season. I don't really care..we need a new striker anyway.

I pray that he scores the winner in the EL final so that maybe some team would be crazy enough to believe he is back to his best and be willing to get him off our hands. But that's just wishful thinking; I doubt very much that he'll leave in the summer.

Expect him to tumble out of Luisao's pocket 2 days after the final ends, wearing yet another winner's medal bestowed upon him by the generosity of his teammates, the ones who carry him all the time.

Tell you what tiger, they are still goals for our team , just incase you hadn't noticed

It's not even the fact his twenty goals are against poor teams/lucky (Moses is the same), it's just the fact people ignore that he has 60 appearances this season. 60!

Drogba in his last two seasons had 26 goals in 86 appearances. Which is 0.32 goals/game. Torres has 0.33 goals/game exactly this season. Make of it what you will.

That sounds so much more likely.

I just can't imagine anyone else paying his wages. No idea how we're going to get rid of him.
