About every performance Torres put in bar maybe 10 games under Rafa. Not even a competition. Torres is the worst striker I've ever seen play for us in recent times. Maybe Falcao actually could compete too... 

Nahh. I don't recall Torres missing three sitters.

Serious question. Does anyone on here remember a worse performance by a Chelsea striker in all their years of watching the club ? 

Shades of Fernando Torres

I haven't been more upset at a player in a fucking while, props Morata.

[Amblève. 4,995]

It's just post-game emotions but I feel like I don't ever wanna see Morata play for us again. Jesus fuck, it's completely fucked that I've come to that point.

He's Drogba with his head, but Torres (Chelsea version) with his feet...

He does make good chances for himself with his runs and strength but squanders them inevitably..

[El P. 1,354]

I guess, at the end, there was a reason he didn't play regularly for Juventus and Real Madrid. Perez you genius.

He might work as 2nd striker.

That's what matters most in this game, though.

The saddest thing is, when he was through on goal for the first goal, you just KNEW he wasn't going to score. Never thought he would completely miss the target all together though.

Again also mad with him for missing 3 1v1s, but just the silver lining here: he made great runs and plays to be able to get to up to 3 1v1s.

my point is that other players wouldn’t have scored either because they perhaps wouldn’t have been in those positions. At least not 3 times.

^^ when strikers are off, esp in the same game, the trend usually follows. Same when they are on, hence why not subbing scorers.

That's what I was able to write haha. You didn't think yay here we go just uh oh how can this go wrong.. Oh like that

We are screwed in the Champions League against Barcelona, not one doubt after today. They will be games where we have to take every single opportunity, because we won't have many. But this season we are wasting our chances for fun.

We just want a striker who makes those runs and finishes them. Is that a lit to ask for when you are spending 50m plus on a striker...... are we really that desperate that we have to settle for a striker who makes good runs but doesn't finish them. We are one of the biggest clubs in Europe ffs.

He missed about 100 sitters thats why. There is no comparison between Torres and Morata, Torres took about 6 months to get his first Chelsea goal, Morata took about 10 minutes. Moratas finishing shadows a match where he did everything else to a decent standard. Ultimately you judge strikers on goals so that won't be talked about and after the chances he had rightly so but hes not even on the same page as Torres.

If Hazard was taller that would be the ideal solution...

Michy seems the better finisher with his feet but ultimately inferior with his overall hold up and link up play.. not sure playing alongside Morata will guarantee goals..

I'd rather put Pedro up front, dude can score from anywhere...

He never missed three sitters in one game, this was an insanely bad performance from Morata.

Whoever has him won’t sell to us.

thats why we need to make bets such as Morata.

consider that even when his finishing was shit, he played well. While other players go through same patches while producing little to nothing.

^^They were not sitters - it’s not a sitter when you are the one who creates the chance...
