The Skipper 20,609 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Can't believe this, but I honestly think Jose should go back to putting Torres in the starting line-up. He's better suited to the counter-attacking play, and imo...we looked more of a threat when he led the line in the couple of games he started this season. We haven't been playing a counter attacking system in the last two games though. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_juan 64 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 In the word of Rafa Benitez " Torres helps out at defensive set pieces"Could have done with that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,442 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 We haven't been playing a counter attacking system in the last two games though. True, teams like Basel and Everton sat back for most periods..but I feel our best attacks come in the form of counters even in those kind of games.Torres could have been useful especially after we went 1 up.

polo 18 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I gave him the benefit of the doubt first game but he was again terrible today, he never looked like scoring. Was very worrying. We have no strikers We have Demba ba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polo 18 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 i said he was shit and the others Oh wait he's so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Better game than the Everton one, imo. His movement was good, especially in the first half, but I think he needed another striker next to him, Basel were preventing anything into the box.

meetdoscar 335 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 This time I'd rather blame the service to him or the lack of it. Can't go on blaming our strikers forever. His movement was superb and unlike torres has always been better compared to the opposition striker in his two games so far so i think its the service that is lacking.

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 He was lively, great movement and leadership, I saw him talking to a few players, giving them a few pointers. He is also much quicker than I expected.His final product was missing last night though. Great turns on the ball but either the shooting or passing were not on near the box.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Last night and against Everton, he was slow, confused and never looked like scoring, i dread every game coming now First two games. I was also going to post in the Van Ginkel thread that is was his first start for us.Patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The problem is, if you look at my earlier posts, i gave him the benefit of the doubt but again Eto'o was very weak. I HOPE he will improve but analyising his performance last night, he looked confused and never was going to score. We don't have the time to wait, we were humilated last night, and against Everton, sadly in this buisiness we need success pretty quick.

We've been chasing instant success to appease a certain type of fan for too long....time to relax a bit. Atlas Lion and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I am very relaxed and been a fan long enough to see plenty of no success. I hate glory hunters, but this year i was so exicted and i am worried. I HOPE as i always do, we will push on and be brilliant.
