haha marley you make me laugh mate

iv been saying for atleast 2 months torres needs too go now everyone else is starting too see it apart from you your trying too give me a load of rubbish for it

clearly the difference between you and me is that i want a new striker so we do well this year because torres will end up costing us

where as you, you just enjoy coming on this website too give people stick because they no more than you and you cant accept that!!

anyway enjoy watching the game on your laptop mate ill be at the game because im a true supporter

curt

Going to a game does not make you a true fan do you ever think some people cant afford to go
matthew

Curt what are you talking about? You claim to be a true supporter but how you pick and choose who you slate. I've been a season ticket holder for 15 years, did you turn out every other sat during the years when supporters I knew just gave up. I defend Torres as what other choice do we have? Sturridge? Rdm obv doesn't fancy/ trust him do what other options are there? I'm guessing your magic ball predicts we spend 50 mil on Falcao and he will be a instant hit? Haha, I give it 3 weeks without a goal and u would be crying again. Don't ever question my support to the club when you have made a fool of your self for months on here, I'm not the only one who thinks your a joke.

your an absolute embarressment falcao wont go 3 weeks without scoring lool thats just stupid talk

torres is not good enough simple as

i supported chelsea before we had money thanks you just find any reason to give digs on here because it obviously makes you feel so much better about yourself

i know more about football than most the people on here the sooner you realise it the better

curt

See curt and you wonder why people have enough of you. I don't get what Marley has ever done? Al of us have known Torres ain't what he was at pool, but we've all backed him. I admit I've had enough. But I've backed him. We all have and all of u know we're never going to get the old nando. But for f sake stop acting like u know it all and gloating over something you think you knew before us. Jesus f me. BLUEBOY1

Cheers blueboy, good lad.
Curt, Grow the hell up, ur the embarrassment and your last comment just proved it all over again. Well done you.
Marley

Curts a bit up himself
Matthew

Magic of the prem you don't know who will be a hit and who won't!

does anyone know the cause of torres massive pace loss? If you watch some of his liverpool clips its ridiculos. The way he runs is hindering him. He he takes giant, long steps and before they were short and quick. Even two months before we bought him he tore us apart with pace and skill. If it was an injury that did it surely how?

Long injury often takes step of players pace, look at joe cole.

Agree = Torres was a good signing.
Disagree = Torres was a bad signing.

What makes a good signing? I would say value for money, resale value, consistent performances, and in terms of a striker, scoring goals. What do you guys think?

Look, torres isnt going to play at a level that makes him worth 50 million, he isnt tht good. however, now that we have him, it doesnt mean he cant play at a level that would please the chelsea fans. he isnt there yet but i hope he does get there soon. im talking converting the easy chances that come his way, good hold up play (that weve generally seen this year) and working hard.

To me everything happens for a reason and Torres was a good signing for worldwide publicity and shirt sales etc. He also won us the corner that Drogba scored from on the 19th May, good times.

Worst thing Chelsea did was play his debut against liverpool!

My expectations for the season:
1. Win the Club World Cup
2. A Top 3 finish in the PL
3. Champions League quarter final
4. Have a settled team playing a good brand of football, a team that will challenge for all titles next season. I am not OLIVER TWIST, but I can take more.

Bas!cs.

Dont really care about the club world cup or COC
1st in prem
semis in champions league
win fa cup

SHED END

Yeah. I think we will win the prem and Fa cup, possibly the world club and quaters or semis of champions league.

Sorry, but u'll get dissappointed somehow.

Some people need to see Torres's record against Man u and then think again about their starting line ups.He was the one who single handedly demolished Vidic when he was probably the best defender in the world at that time and he did it time and time again.I know he is lacking the confidence he had back then, but last year in our 3-1 loss he was by far the best player on the pitch .True he missed a sitter but that was his own created chance ,but he also scored a brilliant goal.Remember Mata's volley in the second game who provided the cross?
Now he has scored against City,Arsenal and Newcastle all of whom are top teams as,proven last year.
Watch Sturridge carefully and tell me how he plays at the center ?He does create space for others ,which is the most vital part of our game now ,he drifts more to the edge of right wing most of the time and tries to come in as a winger and he does not head balls.He does not pass very often and he does not have the cleverness to make the runs that drags defenders away.What he is good at is arriving at the far post from wide right and finishing off chances.He has the confidence to take shots at goals and is good at dribbling with the ball when he plays out wide,but lacks the final pass.
With so much of his play happening out wide the managers ,who by the way are not dumb ,played him in the wing or as a second striker.As he does not do enough as a lone striker.Also he does not push from the from or steal balls which is vital when we press high up.
This is a system that fits Torres perfectly .He may not be the great striker he once was,but he has adapted perfectly to the system and is vital to the way we are play.We are playing a style of football is completely opposite to the style we had been playing for the last decade.The role of the striker is much than scoring only goals.One stupid loss that too after a long flight after beating Tottenham at home does not make everyone bad overnight.
To set into perspective how hard away games after the weekends are the defeats of Real Madrid,Man City.Arsenal lost at home ,Juve drew, Milan lost , so a loss in Ukraine is not the end of the world.Sure, a win would have been very good but with the Man u matches coming up and taking into account all the other factors the loss is understandable.Plus by playing in such a competitive league ,which is buy far the best in the world,going long distances to play is not easy.After all the players not machines.
Also some people are bashing Torres for what he said on TV about him not caring when he was not play,please read the context in which he said it and also Micheal Laudrup is not an person when he said his players to follow Torres's example.
Look as the forward inter linking play carefully next time and you will see how vital his contribution is.All the four have to play well for the style to click otherwise it does not work.
roan

Correction: Sturridge does not create space for others and he also does not push from the front(not from the from). :-)
roan

Torres was fast back then.

I agree with you roan ......
but our only concern is torres not able to score in one on one situation
against arsenal-man city-new castle(what a beautifull strike that was) he scored but that time he just strike the ball
but when he is having time to think and shoot he is just getting confused and now some times i am thinking he is getting afraid to take ball to his left and shoot with left foot in one on one situation after missing sitter against man utd in last season......

samrat

Roan. Good post as always.

Luke

A more intelligent post explaining why Sturridge would or wouldn't be better instead of just saying drop Torres and play Sturridge.

People need to stop this unnecessary hate aimed towards Sturridge, last year if Sturridge didn't score the goals he scored at the first half of the campaign we would have probably finished 7th or 8th in the league.

Fans like Jack aren't needed! I personally like Sturridge, he takes chances, he shows hunger for goals and HE'S IS A CHELSEA PLAYER. I don't like Lampard in the team now a days but I won't slander him and say he doesn't deserve to wear a Chelsea Shirt, that would be a disgusting thing to say.

Zen11

Half of the Chelsea fans on here are glory hunters, only happy when we win! Slate players when we lose! End of the day there human.... Not robots! People make mistakes n can't play to there best every game! Soo let's stop slating and get behind the team!
O yh got my tickets for Chelsea vs S Donetsk this time lets win! Lol

Wheelycfc

Wheely whos the glory hunters? and who likes losing? i never liked studge but after last season i understood his game more, i want him to play up top now. aslong as he gets rid of his stupid little dances when he scores LOL BLUEBOY1

People tht like Torres n others eg di matteo mikel one min thn hate thm the next coz of one bad game here and there! Been playing well all season apart from a S Donetsk, now most people are haters! it's just a joke! Lol!
Yh his dance is rather stupid ... Be funny if they put it on FIFA tho lol!

Wheelycfc

Well sed wheely. Used to be some good banter but now after any defeat all we hear is Mikel this, Torres that, rdm not good enough, formation not working. Lol it's kinda pathetic considering the start to the season we've had. What's the big problem? Torres is scoring, we have mata, oscar abd hazard, Mikel's playing better than ever, Ramires is playing cm more and more and were top of the bloody league with 2 hard away games won. Did I mention 4 points
clear at the top?
Marley

Exactly Marley someone gets it! :)
Been looking on this site for over a year now but only just starting to put a sign off name.... Like u said there used to be gd banter, but now it's worse thn a soap!
U seen any games this year?

Wheelycfc

Could not agree more, RDM won us the champions league, has us four points clear in the league and people are moaning like little girls because we lose a game. I am Chelsea 100 percent yes it hurts when we lose, but that is part of being a fan. Since roman arrived we have become spoiled and expect to win every game we play. There have been some amazing highs and a few lows, but I remember the pre roman years and it was more lows than it was highs. We should all be backing the squad and management because from what I have seen we could well become a very special team over the next few years, we need stability regards management not hiring and firing on a whim. If Jose was in charge at present we would be hailing his brilliance.

I agree completely. the only thing i do think is that almost every game i see torres miss a really easy chance. im not saying we should throw him out or that hes useless hes had a solid start to the season but as a fan it does get a little frustrating.
