St Abramovich 175 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 We need Drogba upfront, Torres benched. Drogba needs to keep fighting.I refer you to thisIf we are banking our future on Torres and we know we cant win the league then what is the point of starting with Drogba and Anelka up front? Two players who could be on their way out in the Summer, what Torres needs are games to continue to develop his relationship with his new team mates and maybe in games like this where there is less pressure on the team as a whole he is more likely to score that vital first goal. Would also love to see Yossi get a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I refer you to thisPoints are needed, Drogba has way more of a chance to score than Torres, he's more effective, plus i think he deserves it for the other night. The future can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ramires and Alex out so I guess we will see Benayoun starting, Luiz starting and hopefully Torres starting, he needs the games. Summer will do wonders with Torres, can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 We've got nothing to win this season..finishing 3rd/2nd least be a small consalation.Not gana be easy seeing West Brom typically on a good run but hopfully...can start to make up for the two shite performances against Man U! Time to start looking like the team we once were and pass to the right players...run around! Chase the ball not sit back and watch it go up the other end.And none of this 'I want to try to score' bollocks.If someones free pass for christ sake!!Dont make this week even shitter Chels! We loose our game in hand advantage really this weekend seeing we play it on Weds and god knows when City get there done withEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomarse 2 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Torres must start every game 'till the end of the season. He hasn't scored yet, granted. But, like a previous poster said, he needs to keep playing to gel with the team, to get that first goal. I would also like to see some of the youths get some game time, but only some more substitute appearances considering there still is 3rd place to play for.

Milan 17,957 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Although I said Torres would be a proper signing once the new campaing begins, it would not be logic to not play him, as he needs to get into the team properly. He has to understand the new system and although there will be time in the summer, the sooner he gets used to the team, the better for EVERYBODY.

It might be tough for the other players to adapt to the new system, while they have been so used to the system they've used week in week out. That's the object of chemistry in a starting eleven. They need to be used to the set-up they're played in every week so they can gel as a unit and score loads of goals. I reckon our 1-0 home defeat to Liverpool was a prime example of that. Ancelotti took a gamble and he used Torres up front with Drogba. I think he picked the wrong game to gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres is a star up front and all the players know that and are aware of the fact that they can profit from it. The change can't be made during one night and everything is up to the manager how he can handle the whole situation. So far, it hasn't been so great but hard work will make it happen, no doubt. It is never easy to change something that used to work quite well though. Again, down to the players' mentality and manager's ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 With Benayoun recovered and with the whole team playing decent I believe Torres can score. He really needs a goal. I'm getting tired of all these jokes and media horseshit. But please, no 4-4-2...Shame that we can't play at least one match with whole squad healthy...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 If Yossi Benayoun doesn't start I'll be really annoyed, and it will confirm the point that Ancelotti selects his team on the basis of their name and reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBlue 44 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Why are people worried about Torres scoring? How about the team fucking scoring and then we worry about other nonsense like an off form player. More midfield goals today I say, Mikel hattrick.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 I don't give a fuck who scores, I'm not at all confident we'll win. WBA need the points more than us, and we're still going to be feeling sorry for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milllz 43 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 i think kalou and torres upfront, torres looked more likely to score when with kalou so maybe this is the answer to his first goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
