West Brom 1-3 Chelsea

[ZanSnake 1,211]

This is evidence that the 4-3-3 is our most dominant formation for us, and that Carlo needs to work around the striker 'issue' he has!

This is not about Torres scoring, this is about Chelsea winning and getting points on the board to put Arsenal under pressure. Sort out your priorities ffs.

3-1 up against relegation fodder (with plenty of time left), gave Carlo a perfect opportunity to give Torres a much needed goal.

Like I said, a 27 year old investment getting a much needed goal, is more important than a 33 year old playing well against relegation fodder.

But he did, didn't he? What can the poor sod do if the linesman is blind? Oh wait, that's Carlo's fault as well surely.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Why Mceahcran out of squad, putting ferreria ahead of him is nonsense...

I'm really sad for the young player under such a manager

FA Youth Cup?

He got his chance in match against Man Utd, oh yeah, against poor perfromance from Torres.

With 45 minutes to go, we were 3-1 up against relegation fodder...

Carlo decided to give him just 9 minutes out of a possibly 45.

Fail.

The question now is would Torres score until the end of the season?

I guess no.

He got the goal, wrongly disallowed by the ref. Fail.

And bigger fail = Torres not bothering to turn up against United and the likes, when it actually mattered.

Case closed.

Yes, and this was against relegation fodder and we were 3-1 up with 45 minutes to go.

= Perfect Opportunity.

Yet Carlo gives him only 9 minutes....

my opinion about that : at half time Torres in, Malouda out, Drogba was our playmaker, and i'm sure that Torres would score today a goal, if he partner with Drogba in attack.

[chrismada9 1,948]

We pulverise West Brom away from home, City tearing United apart at Wembley and winning 1-0

a question is begged on the strength of that sentance

[Steve 10,227]

Completely missed the match Steve, any links up yet for the full game?

Later mate still on the coach coming home!

Fail.

WBA were one of the form teams in the League before today. Torres did NOTHING to deserve a game, with Drogba playing very well, Kalou playing well and Anelka playing well, You wanted to bring on a misfiring player?

Carlo was proving a point.

No no, we will moan about Lampard getting undeserved starts yet want Torres to be given that benefit, just to keep Liverpool fans of all people, quiet.

Everything has gone tits up sadly.

Anelka played well? And what point was Carlo proving? That he's not handled the Torres situation well at all? I agree Drogba should have started based on form, but knowing what Torres is going through and the intense scrutiny on his goal drought, what's the point of bringing him on for 9 minutes?

Can you imagine if Ancelotti keeps subbing Torres on for 10 or 15 minutes for the rest of the season? Okay, Torres is off-form, but that would be devastating to the man and his confidence. Do you want him to bring that into the next season? I guess if Carlo isn't going to be around, he won't care. If that's the case, it's s really crappy way to handle a player. Rooney's a dick and even Ferguson didn't yank his chain like this during his months and months of poor form.

TX what the fuck are you going on about?

Drogba was better than Torres today.WBA is everything but a relegation battler,if you failed to notice they are 10th (that is almost top half) and in the Premiership only 3 teams go down,just so you know.Drogba was better than Torres even against United,and that is the team which will probably win the Premiership as things stand.Torres will get his chances,we don't have anything to lose now.

I've already explained my reasoning, I don't need to repeat myself.

And LMAO, take a look at the table... they've played 1 more game than the rest of the relegation fodder. They will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.
