Fernando Torres

[The_Flash 1,144]

Yes he would come on give him that so often he is in that position but like Etoo cant find the net. I really think even he would have got those. We wouldnt have beat City last time without him being in that position.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He wouldn't even be in the position to score them.

So let's stick with close-the-keeper-down-but-I-can-do-fuck-all-else Samuel Eto'o then?

That's harsh. His finishing was atrocious but everything else in his game was decent.

He's a striker. Even some of his passes were wayward.

We bought a striker out of semi-retirement at the age of 32 and he's not that good anymore. Why is anyone surprised? It's not his fault.

The problem is that we loaned out a hungry young striker a couple of days later. Eto'o isn't the problem, but he's a symptom of the problem.

Yeah, I agree with all you've said but I was saying to @Alex that what he said is harsh because the other aspects of his game apart from finishing (which is still one of the most important parts of a striker's game obviously) were okay so it's harsh to say that he can't do anything else.

And off-topic regarding Lukaku but Romelu has recently reinforced that it was him that wanted the loan move and that he asked Mourinho. Granted Jose could've stopped the move but I don't think anyone could've imagined our striker situation to be this dire. That's another discussion for another day though.

At the moment Etoo makes Torrres looks good.

[Las7 951]

Nothing can make Torres look good, both are as shite in front of goal as each other - difference is I had close to no expectations for Eto'o and he didn't cost us much.

Eto'o can't hit a barn door, Torres is just Torres and Ba is totally not right.

But let's hope and pray our strike force can come good for the thirty thousandth time this season.

I am not usually a fan of signings in January but I cannot believe we won't go for a striker at least

i would give schurrle another shot upfront. i dont feel he really impacts games coming off the bench to the left wing anyway

That's not really true. Yes, he held the ball up well, but he was just sooo slow on the ball. So many times he could have created a chance for someone but was just too slow to release the ball and the opportunity was gone. At least Fernando doesn't do that (anymore).

Torres scores none for Chelsea against Liverpool!

It's not harsh. He's utterly dire. He contributes less than Ba or Torres.

[Zoro 151]

Maybe we could get Drogba back on loan for 6 months....

[Blue Warrior 109]

Never go back, the Drogba era ended with the perfect sendoff. Torres will score goals in the Champions league and cup competitions. I hope at the end of the season we send him back to Spain.
