Fernando Torres

[The only place to be 11,313]

ALRIGHT , I'm a Torres fan . Now what ? And how many times the balls were actually put in the 6 yard box for Torres ? Because what I remember is we've never played a game where we were actually bombarded the 6 yard box like Alqaeda haha . It's easy for you to criticise him cause he's a soft target but you know what you guys are in the state of denial .

If you had been watching the games , you can see how selfish our midfield has been . Torres has freaking 15 goals this season alright . Would you believe he's having a good season so far ? No . Statistics are not always true mate , don't give me that

Go tell that Roman , oh he already knows that and he doesn't gives a fuck Congratulations

So we have to bombard the goal for him to score? He can't simply make a run into the six yard box and meet the ball put across? I've lost count of the number of times Azpi or Hazard has whipped one across goal and Torres has been on the penalty spot - but do tell me more about his fantastic positioning.

I'll give Torres credit for when he's done well. Against Sunderland and Nordsjaellend he actually made runs into the six yard box and guess what? He scored. But that's a freak occurrence and just shows what we could do if we had a striker who played like a striker and made the right runs. Ba did it on his debut but he's not got a consistent run since.

Our midfield is not selfish by any means - in fact I wish Hazard would take the ball on more himself - but it's hard to pass the ball for Torres when he doesn't run the channels properly. He struggles to lose markers too which is pathetic in all honesty.

The mark of a truly great player is that he makes the players around him better. Torres actually makes the team worse because he fails to do the most basic things you'd expect of a striker. Take off the blinkers and watch the game with both eyes open and both hands where they can be seen.

The simple fact of it all is Torres is wahed up now, has been for some time yet some people will still have you believe that he offers something, when in fact, he offers very little.

There isn't anything else to add.

I mean how many times do we have actually put a ball in the 6 yard box for him to score ? A couple of times in every match and i compelty agree with you , Hazard has been a bit less selfish than the others .

Torres makes the team worse ? oh well . When we lost 3-0 to Juve , Torres was on the bench

[Backstreet09 499]

Please don't be so defensive.You can't expect our midfielders to give easy tap ins to Torres because that won't happen.Yes Torres has scored 15 goals so far this season but with the chances hes had,he could have scored way more and as a result helped us to win the matches we lost or drew.

Same goes for Mata , Hazard and Oscar . The three Amigos

Backstreet09 does raise a few valid points.

But to sum it up, Torres simply doesn't suit Chelsea's style of play. In Liverpool, he used to be at the end of all the moves made by their midfield whereas at Chelsea he has to serve as an extra man in the build-up play.

The same is happening with Ba as well, but Ba can hold up play better and knock down the aerial balls like Drogba.

He's going to score tonight. He's scored the last seven times I've been to watch the Chels.

You should watch games more often then. However, I'm not sure if he's going to mark his first Chelsea Europa League goal.

[Leif 6,006]

The moment he's gone I'm going to buy a pinata which has been made to look exactly like him and invite everyone round to bash at it while wearing blindfolds. It will be great.

[Styles 9,790]

Find it amazing that people are still making excuses for him.

[DONI. 1,291]

He score when he wants,he score when he wants

Or let's for example take the CWC final against Corinthians for example when Torres had the best chance to score by far which basically lost us the game... What about that one? What do you have to say about that?

Or the fact that he's scored only 1 goal in 2013 so far. I can't believe you're blaming the team for Torres's poor performances. We've chopped and changed from a direct style to a more passing style and Torres doesn't fit in with either. He's not good enough to play for a top team like CFC anymore.

Ok,this was dreadful ... El horriblo was never a match for Sparta.

Pat Nevin is talking about how good Torres played tonight... losing all respect for him as a pundit...
