Sure he is happy, I don't doubt about that. Just give him time to settle in our team properly. We can't expect him to score a hattrick in his second game for us and after just two weeks training with us. He will be a Chelsea star, I am not afraid.

Liverpool game was never going to be good unless he scored a hattrick. LFC pumped up to play him. They were the wronged spouse facing off against their cheating spouse (in their minds and the media). Think it would have been better to bring him on as a sub. Let the Chelsea fans cheer for him as he warmed up. Spilt milk now.

Fulham game yesterday. He had bursts of pace, good movement. Unfortunately his pace and movement were canceled out by his bad touch. He'll have those games where his touch is bad, he's pouty, etc. Then he'll score a goal where you wonder where that came from.

Keep the faith.

Not sure where to post this so since we're discussing Torres....

My daughter was watching the game with me last night. She heard the Torres chants and she said "I thought they were playing at Fulham". I said "yes, why?" She said "the Chelsea fans have been amazing". Kudos to the traveling Chelsea fans for their support last night, and not just Torres.

The problem will be the pressure and the stick he will get during awyy games. For such a sum of money he is expected to be a real killer and match-winner. He will, I'm sure. But these first weeks and months he needs to cope with the pressure. And once he gets his first goals, he will bang them suddenly.

His first touch has always been his weakness. It ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime. Since he was a teenager, coaches have said that he needed to improve his first touch. Unfortunately it's still something he never has been able to master. On his day he's one of the best strikers in the world. Imagine what he would be like if he had a consistent first touch. As I've posted before, he would be up there with Ronaldo and Messi.

Don't let the press wash your brain about Torres. He's just fine, but he needs time to adapt.

Remember Berbatov, I have to say this again, only scored 9 goals in his first season at United, even if he played in 31 games!!!

Remember how badly was Ramires in his first games for us, and now he's one of our best players in every game.

I'm sure Torres will prove that he deserves all the money Chelsea spend for him.

I don't know if he's happy at Chelsea, but I'm sure he wasn't happy anymore at Liverpool. He wanted to leave, he wanted to sign for us. I guess he wants to win trophies and he'll give his best for this.

I repeat, it's perfectly normal for him to play not that good in these first games.

I am a huge admirer of Fernando and everyone has been giving him stick over the last week or so.

I would just like to know why he isnt performing to his best?

Is he really a Chelsea player?

Is he happy at Chelsea?

Come on everybody,why is nobody calling him fickle? Questioning a player after 2x 70 min. appearances.

Torres' main problem is the manager not even giving him the full 90 minutes.

He's only played 2 games and I think he will be great but there is so much pressure on him atm, all eyes are on him....'A watched pot never boils' ;) but in all seriousness the Liverpool game was more like the Torres show and the media are loving this. One day soon he is going to shut them all up!

I agree Ancelotti should play him 90 minutes, especially like yesterday where his movement was quite good. Pity the passes weren't there and his touch was so awful. Had he scored on the Luiz pass or if Lampard had given him a better ball when they were both in/near the box, everyone would be saying how fantastic Torres was last night. His movement and spacing were there. His touch and his teammates' passes were not.

i have absolutley no worries about nando his movement is top class and its only a matter of time until he starts scoring, im 100% sure he will be a success at chelsea no doubts in my mind at all. exactly how i felt about Drogba in his first few seasons, he will be fine and will win many trophies at chelsea starting with this season!!! :champions:

Listen, while I think Torres is the most overpaid player in history, say he is not happy or that he is a flop is really stupi. Only two fucking games !!!! Our team is playing like shit and you expct him to do what ?

For me I dont care if in the rest of this season he play awful. I see him as a long term player. Berbatov had two miserable season at Manchester and now he is the league top scorer, and one of best players so far. He is proving he was worth tht 30m paid for him two years ago.

The "problem" is that Torres' bedded in so well and quickly with Liverpool, the expectations are justifiably sky-high. Not much you can do about that. And understandably in the heat of a CL qualifying race, emotions tend to be high and extremely short-fused.

And the handful of Berbatov fans look good now, but remember, tons of ManU fans were calling him BerbaFlop for a very long time.

Drogba scored his first chelsea goal after 3 games so give Torres time

Funny, I wanted to post this before the game but didn't want to jinx it but no matter now.

Torres didn't score in his first league game for Atletico, but did in his second.

He didn't score in his first league game for Liverpool but did in his second.

I was hoping for the same yesterday but alas no dice.
