Fernando Torres

[haranr 485]

I know, right?!

I think the answer lays 100% in confidence. It's amazing how quickly it can go... but it is what it is...

Scoring goals is off course an easy way to rate someone (no matter how good/bad he was in that game).

Now that Torres completely stopped scoring (at the rate Suarez is doing at the moment) ... people lose there patience and confidence.

Probably also the coach and his teammates. This must have gotten into his head... That's the only solution I can think off.

I surely cannot blame his work ethic... he runs his butt off in every game. Also he still has it in him to pass by defenders with an amazing ease (Hazardesque), where I know a lot of strikers will be jealous about!

He simply just stopped being productive! And if there is one thing you expect from a top striker at a top club...

This is wrong. I wish it was all confidence but the facts are: he is actually really bad at football. His ball control, shooting technique, accuracy, dribbling and passes are just awful. He is just not good that's it.

His lack of finishing ability is the most frustrating aspect...After seeing him curl in shots from just outside the box back in his prime, its incredible how a player that had a fine shooting technique, now struggles to put shots on target...like that shot he took against Palace with his left, or that lob towards the end of the game..really disappointing,

Tbf.... I've always thought his shooting technique was somewhat weird. You obviously don't notice it as much when he's banging them into the back of the net. But I must say, his technique is not very good.

Fernando Torres didn’t manage a single shot on target in his last three games for Chelsea in the PL (inc. blocked - 13 attempts).

It's everything, mostly his desire. Watch Suarez again from Sunday, he chased balls that looked like they were going out of play only to keep it in and create a chance. He has no quickness of turn or pace, can't out-fox a defender and his shooting technique is as poor as it comes.

Rumours are Barca players' want him there next season. What next?!

One for the road

[Fernando 6,455]

He's starting today for Chelsea.

Probably does good and then people say Torres is back.

I hope he's starting today for Chelsea, then he won't play tomorrow against PSG

Ops mistake meant tomorrow.

But I always said that with Torres we play with one less man.

Why doesn't mourinho just play with a false 9?

It's better then having Torres that don't do much!

He did it against Utd at the start of the season, and it didn't go well.

Tbf..he can still do that on occasion..like he showed against City and Tottenham eariler on in the season...But back then he had an inkling of desire...even showed some against Arsenal...but again frustratingly enough he blows hot and cold in that department...

Yes, when he feels like it, which is not very often.

I just saw the team lineup. Unless it changes it looks like we are to try it again with schurrle. :-)

Let's blame it on Torres.

I usually refrain from discussing our number 9 but I am desperate. He has to go this summer. Its been an absolute nightmare that just has to end. Not a lot of footballers depress me when they play and Nando did that tonight, other times include seeing Slavisa Jokanovic get booed onto the pitch at the bridge while playing for us. I don't hate him, I don't really like him, he's just where he shouldn't be. Go and play somewhere else Mr. Torres. It will never ever work. Sad.
