LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Especially Man United must be shitting bricks, as we still have to play the game that might tell us a lot about the title.Vidic will have nightmares over an in-form Drogba + a goal-scoring Torres leading a Chelsea attack in 2weeks :champions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 A fantastic cameo from Torres, when the ball stopped up in the soaked grass after he had gotten through on goal I fully thuoght the chance had gone, fantastic technique to turn on it with 3 West Ham players around him and bury it with his left foot, a sight I thought Id never seen, Torres doing his trademark celebration at the Bridge in a Chelsea jersey, a special moment. On top of that he also notched up an assist but aside from the goal and the asssit, he looked so good when he came on, his pace is gradually returning, thats obvious from the way he burst through with the ball from midfield, getting away from a West Ham midfielder and when he beat Bridge for pace even though Wayne had a significant head start, he looked up for it, when he lost the ball he charged down the West Ham defender, slid in and won the ball back, it all seemed to tick, I still think that next season is when we will really see the best of him and what a fantastic prospect that is, this guy can become Chelsea's main man.Beside the goal (FINALLY!!!), when he got the ball back from the West Ham defender was my favorite Torres moment. The "assist" to Malouda was different but a good "moment".It really did seem the entire team was happy for him and that was fantastic to see. I think it points to Torres not being a disruptive ass in the locker room or training ground and wanting to help the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodojojo 510 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Coulda been two assists if Anelka had slotted his chance in as well.Wonderful ball to Torres from Anelka. That's exactly what you want to see all through the game. Slide it in, Torres will run onto and do his job. It doesn't always work but do it a few times a game and he'll convert enough of them.

ElNinoSemper 18 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Fan-freaking-tastic! I've been screaming myself hoarse since Torres scored. So, so happy for him. And the team. That was the best goal celebration ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'm so relieved for Torres to get the monkey off his back. I can only imagine the pressure off Carlo, the team, and Fernando especially. That cross by Cole for Lampard's goal - world class stuff there.

Cosmin 2,484 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Here's a comment I found on a Romanian shitty website that copy/pastes articles from goal.com: I remember when Zidane went to Madrid. His first season there was awful, and the media was mocking him permanently. In the second season the journalists started to excuse themselves, specially after that amazing goal against Bayer Leverkusen in the UCL final. That might happen with Torres too. You can't say a football player is awful after he played so many years really weel for Liverpool and Atletico. If next season he scores 30 goals, will you have the power to say "We're sorry, Fernando!"?So, fuck the media.That cross by Cole for Lampard's goal - world class stuff there.Amen to that! I could add that I'm relieved that I saw Nando and Malouda hugging after the French-man's goal. I was keep living with the sensation that Florend doesn't like Torres.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Moving on from the Torres excitement..We've still got a lot of work to do in midfield. We could've been really punished today if West Ham had taken their chances. We're becoming more & more prone to counter-attack threats than we've ever had. When Terry & co go up for set pieces they need to get back quicker otherwise stronger teams will find that weakness within us. With Essien picking up an injury tonight (hopefully not a serious one) it'll mean more time for Mikel (hopefully) so that'll keep the balance. If Essien is out for the foreseeable future then I'd suggest our midfield were:MikelRamires - LampardHowever, rotation between Ramires/Benayoun should also be taken into consideration as both come with their benefits and drawbacks. I prefer Ramires to Benayoun when starting games because Ramires gives our midfield stability and he's got the ability to hold the ball. His attack instincts are not as sharp as Benyoun's so if we're deadlocked in the 70th minute mark, then Benayoun should be brought on for Ramires.
