BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I actually laughed when he stormed off.I am not sure what he would have differently in the last 10 minutes as the spaniard always expected the ball to be passed to his feet.Credit to RDM for subbing him off and giving Danny the cf role instead of the usual winger role.

Torres was hardly doing anything when he was on. Sturridge did well when he came on but 10 minutes was never gonna be enough for him to really make an impact on the game.

meetdoscar 335 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I still don't get y pple are criticizing torres, drogba during his prime had players like Robben duff j.cole lampard kalou essien and later anelka ballack deco most of which are world class players at a glance playing behind him consistently and Yes he was a big game player too but wat has torres got bertrand and ramires neither of ehich are world class wingers with hazard who is still young and no where near lampard at his prime. So unless I see oscar mata hazard or moses playing consistently behind torres to give rhythm to our attack Ill always blame the coach ahead of torres bcos its not hard to see Y we don't create more than 3 chances in every game we play. worst case scenerio RDM will b sacked and a manager who has eyes will put those players in to play. Y sign potentially world class attackers and put them on the bench even garcia made his debut for Mcity against stoke y can't OSCAR or MOSES.

ja1 1,166 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 If Sturridge did that, I'm pretty sure he'd be booed every home game till he'd be eventually forced out. Torres will still get the biggest cheer when his name is read out..go figure. nachikethas, Tomo and Las7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 OK, so now Torres can't be critized based on the players he has behind him, not his actual performance. He received the ball multiple times and did nout. Sturridge did more in 10 minutes with the same players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseathebest 150 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Can't believe some of you are still actually defending Torres, seems like he is more important than the club.I am just so frustrated that Danny can't get his chance although Torres has been shit practically since he's joined us (won't deny he had some good performances, but like, I don't kow, 70 % of them were awful)It's so frustrating seeing him trying to dribble 4 opponents EVERY SINGLE MATCH(which, by the way, always result with the lost ball). Who does he think he is? Jesus?No Fernando, you are not Jesus. You are one awful player and striker. You are not even a shadow of a player you used to be back then in Atletico and Loserpool.From now on, I want to see Sturridge as the first striker.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Stop standing up for him Beirut it's really annoying because what he did was so clear. We have basically signed a squad full of playmakers to help this guy score and to play well but he seems to think it will come to him on a plate without him working hard. He keeps running into 3 defenders and loses the ball constantly, he then walks around the pitch not even bothering to close the space. The guy doesn't get involved in the game and that is hard to take for a club that has had Drogba for the last 8 years (probably only Tevez compares with Drogba when it comes to getting involved in the game as a striker) you must understand. No Chelsea striker has ever had as much support as Torres has when it comes to the bleeding management not signing a striker because they know he'll pooh his pants at any sign of competition. The supporters have given him support constantly since he arrived and the players around him are working like dogs to put it on a plate for him but what can you do when you have a striker that isn't moving off the ball and breaking his neck to get on the end of things ?Dude - we MAY have signed creative players but we sure as fuck aren't playing them!Yes Torres was a twat for storming off, but it could also be he is as frustrated as me at having a bench full of talent and he's gt Cech giving long balls, Ramires losing the ball every second and fuck all incisive play.Yes Studge looked good - but was pretty impossible to look worse, even Heskey would have looked good I still feel best thing for him and CFC is a swap for Falcao....

termninja 5,290 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 And just for the record, my previous post wasn't aimed that much towards our members as much as it was towards Torres...I'm so...bored of him, his blonde hair, his diving and that you never know how is he going to perform when we play. Teams used to shit their pants when they would see him playing, now it's like he is just one of the bunch with a fancy name on the back of his shirt...Could we lock it and start a new one?Nobody forces you to read previous pages so it's rather pointless...besides, same would happen with the new thread.

It would be best to wait until January and then analyze things without making a big drama. Muzchap and Severinb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 ^ Roberto is too diplomatic to comment about this in public, the journalist should have phoned Eddie if he wanted a candid reply.The real impact of the Spaniard's action on Roberto (if any) would have to be gauged from his lineups from now on.
