Reddish-Blue 2,503 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 e]Yea i understand you. Its his confidence in shooting that prevents him from taking shots, making him to want to dribble first before shooting instead of just shifting the ball to one side and curling the ball in the net.The newcastle was just a sublime confident torres, he passed quickly to hazard instead of dribbling, and then ran foward for a return and fired the ball at once without over thinking it. Wish we could see more of that The goal against Newcastle was a fluke. He used to score those types of goals for Liverpool on a regular basis.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 if Torres stays fit all season he will get 20+ goals and 10+ assists this season! people need to stop over reacting and just be happy we have started the season off well, we are playing good football and were Champions of Europe! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:Yea, we have more teamwork and movement than ever. Hopefully torres continues playing without losing the ball And he starts shooting more like the last match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Really don't see the need to create another Torres thread to discuss the same issues like that. Unless it's a big big news on he's being sold etc, just discuss it in his player thread.Merge! TorontoChelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypt 241 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The problem with Torres is confidence and pressure , at Liverpool he came in and wasn’t expected to set the world alight as a lot of people saw the move for a light weight Spanish centre forward a big risk at the time. I remember reading some comments saying he would struggle to make an impact , but we all know how that turned out. Then came his move to us for a massive £50 million pounds for a player who in the last season had been plagued by injuries and had lost some pace (which is one of his main attributes).He was up against Drogba , a player who ups his game and proves his number 1 at this club (like he did with Sheva) Torres didn’t have this at Liverpool , he was the main man and had no worries about anyone taking his place. We have now made him the main man here but after last season being stuck behind Drogba in the pecking order he has lost the flair and confidence he once had , he now doubts his own ability , there is only so much you can train on but when your minds not in it there is no fixing that.The best option would be to sell him in my opinion and bring in someone like Falcao , i just don't seen him regaining his sparkle here after the season and a half he had before. I will obviously continue to support him and hope he can prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Torres had been bad? Can we get rid of plastics on this forum?That's just a wrong approach mate. I also think there were games he wasn't good, so am I a plastic?Look at his Liverpool days. Look at the money we payed for him. Look at his weekly wage. Then look at his status in our team. Yes, he had a decent start, but if that's the best he can do then we have right to be worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las7 951 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Torres had been bad? Can we get rid of plastics on this forum?Right, cause we have made that judgement based on 10 matches this season. I will tell you that for the 7th best paid footballer on the planet and our undisputed number one up top he is not setting the world on fire.Lets give Sturridge or Lukaku 1000 minutes on the field, barely even subbing them off and we shall see how they do in such an environment. Torres has scored a goal for every 193 minutes he has been on the field he has had plenty of opportunities to have a far better record than this. Yet you are saying this is great and I shall be called into question regarding his treatment and asking serious questions about his form.2009 - 2010 Top Goalscorers minutes per goal1) Wayne Rooney - 95 minutes2) Didier Drogba - 101 minutes3) Darren Bent - 144 minutes4) Jermaine Defoe - 123 minutes5)Torres - 98 minutesTevez - 137 minutes2010 - 2011 Top Goalscorers minutes per goal1. Dimitar Berbatov - 110,35 minutes2. Carlos Tevez - 126 minutes3. Robin v. Persie - 98,333 minutes4. Darren Bent - 185 minutes5. Peter Odemwingie - 174,67 minutes2011 - 2012 Top Goalscorers minutes per goal1. Robin Van Persie - 117 minutes2. Wayne Rooney - 110 minutes3. Sergio Aguero - 116 minutes4. Emanuel Adebayor - 174 minutes5. Clint Dempsey - 206 minutesCurrent Top Goalscorers minutes per goal1) Demba Ba - 66 minutes2) Robin Van Persie - 80 minutes3) Steven Fletcher - 66 minutes4) Luis Suarez - 108 minutes5) Peter Crouch - 126 minutesMeanwhile Torres has scored a goal in every 176 minutes in the League while we are top of the league.I'm still waiting for a return I can get excited about but I will say that the situation with Torres is like the infinite monkeys theorem. Torres of 09 is gone and the new one is paid far too much for the output he provides. My opinion remains - if we had persisted with any of our young forwards as much as Torres they would have at the very least have a similar input in terms of goals or possibly a better return.That's my perspective on the matter, for an automatic first choice striker he is simply not at the required level - hasn't been since 09-10 season. What trends await us in the future who knows but I know there is far more chances for him to get worse in 1-2 years then regain the level that he had in 09-10.If you think it's plastic on my part to expect a certain standard from a mercenary who joined us to win Trophies that's fine by me, I've supported all our Players when I'm at the Bridge, but on a football forum I will vent whatever things I feel are wrong with our squad. To me Torres still remains a huge weight, and it would take a lot more than what he has shown thus far this season for me to change my mind - because I've based my opinion on far more than 10 games this season.

meetdoscar 335 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Torres stats: 11 Games played , 5 Goals compared to 11 Goals in 36 Starts last season Goals contributed to: vs mancity (Torres-sturridge-bertrand scores the rebound), vs Reading (Torres-Hazard-ivanovic scores), vs N.castle(Torres won a penalty Hazard scores), vs wolves(Torres-mata scores) vs Arsenal(Torres won a free kick mata scores), vs nordsjaelland (involved in three of the goals)In conclusion TORRES has scored 5 goals in eleven games(0.45 per game) and has contributed (either directly as assist or indirectly as the passer before the assist) to 8 goals this season making him a very significant contributor to 13 out of the total of 25 goals chelsea fc have scored so far this season.Therefore to all torres critics in chelsea just know that he has contributed to more than half of chelsea goals this season. Now shut the fuck up and be glad that he is getting absolutely better. Stats never LIE. BlueJewel and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
