Fernando Torres

Thought he was okay.

Let's see what happens in the rest of the games.

Torres bashing is so last season.

Torres bashing is so last season.

Yeah, I'm for once actually excited to see what comes of him this season.

Of course if we get Rooney or someone like that, then Torres time might be over.

The guy played well today. Give him his due.

Tomorrow it could be Lukaku or Ba doing the good job, and that's something we shouldn't complain about after Drogba's departure.

I would be all for this Rooney deal but we have Torres who is literally like a nightmare we can't wake up out of

We can always go a striker less formation with Schurrle.

So I think we should wing it this season with what we got.

Maybe next season something better might come up.

Like happen last season. We got Hazard, and Oscar all in one season as they became available.

Sometimes patience pays of.

Offer him to Real Madrid, Carlo can't fall for this twice, can he?

What a twattish statement, Torres hasn't even kicked a ball yet; Sturridge on the other hand scored one and missed six other glaring chances.

Six 'glaring' chances? So if Torres or another strijer was playing, he would have scored 7? Come off it. I do not understand why some fans are so bitter/stubborn when it comes to Sturridge. Refuse to give him credit. Compare his performances, with Torres yesterday.

And to the other guy saying Sturridge was given chances against Blackburn and was 'fucking dire'. You are a) taking about the wrong season and it was 45 minutes against Blackburn. At Liverpool and Bolton starting as a CF, he has, what, 20+ league goals in 30 or so appearances? But apparently Torres is better, who has not managed that in the league with 2 and a half years of being here.

Sturridge is still shit. Selfish cunt who doesnt have a right foot. Much happier with Lukaku, Ba and Torres than Sturridge and Torres. Saying that Ill be even happier when Torres fucks off.

This is what I mean. 'Sturridge is doing well and showing he's a good player. However I'll stick my head in the sand, say something vague and quite obviously untrue like, "Sturridge is shit and selfish".

I like Lukaku too - but Sturridge will create more than him, assist more and Lukaku is far more one footed.

Sorry for bringing back Sturridge..

On Torres, even first half he wasn't good. His passing was average today and I'm not sure why it's getting praised so much, honestly watch the game back, he lost possession far too many times. I cannot point to or recall anything incisive he did other than getting punched, diving to win the FK and an admittedly very nice reverse pass for Oscar.

[Tomo 21,751]

I dont think letting Sturridge go is as big a mistake as some make out (eventually we will have a world class forward that will stop us bumping Danny's thread every time he scores for Liverpool) but to say Torres is better than Sturridge and worse try and give reason's for it, is a joke.

Because he cost £50m, i can't think of one forward in my life time as a Chelsea supporter (with the exception of Sutton) who hasn't looked like Pele in comparison to Torres.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

The amount of biased comments and personal abuses in this thread is disgusting. Even when he sucks on the pitch, please grow the fuck up and quit personal abusing him, he has done nothing to deserve that.

[Special Juan 28,133]

He was average yesterday, simple as that.

[edenhazard17 281]

Give him a break for now, gentleman. He barely trained for around 3 weeks. His fitness level is still in preseason mode. He is not ready yet.

And don't compare him with Rooney. I have a reason in this case.

[Reddish-Blue 2,495]

Would be great if we could get rid of him...
