When people say he's getting back his form...what are they comparing it to? Right now, I see a **** striker who's had a few good games but still nothing even remotely close to what he did during his time at Liverpool. I fear people are just comparing him to what he showed in the last two years. Whilst it's a stark improvement, he's now just average and inconsistent. Countless other strikers who are better than him in the PL alone. What amused me was the Chelsea fans claiming Mourinho was a genius for getting him back on form (which he isn't) and saying how he's got the team together again purely because Torres spoke about the team in his interview rather than himself. Right. Because not a single club hire PR people to tell them how to answer questions and no other player in the world talks about the team "Yeah, you know, made up with the two goals but it's all about the three points, you know, at the end of the day" Blah blah. TL;DR, Mourinho's overrated, Torres is still ****.
Someone (Sisu *cough*) has clearly not got over Torres leaving. God knows what damage you did to that Torres poster you used to kiss goodnight... Let it go...it's not healthy.
Any need to talk like that? I'm trying to have a sensible argument and you turn into a child because you are losing.
No,no, C'Mon lads: lets hope Chelsea fans continue to get this 'returned to form' goals to games ratio all season. It'd be just class. McNulty could started speaking in tongues and declared prophecy ......and he'd still be a ****er.
I think the key is in the word 'striker'. Luis is a superb talent and certainly a better player than Torres was but Fernando was a better striker IMO
After last season I think Suarez has reached Torres' old level even as a goalscorer/striker, he near enough matched Torres' best season ever in a much poorer Liverpool team. And he is on course to even surpass that this season if he keeps up his start to the season. And that's not taking into account his extra skills and the things he brings to the team that Torres never did.
As I said, Suarez is a better player but Torres was a better striker IMO. Torres only needed one or two chances, Suarez need at least half a dozen.
If you take out the level he used to be with and compare him as just an individual any Chelsea fan will say the first two seasons were awful, and at a club like Chelsea your not usually given time to settle in. He cost 50 million though and any sale on him you would see him a massive lose. Yeah he played well against Man City, but if that gifted goal never happened, what would there be talk about? How he ran a lot and got an assist? Not article worthy.
And how he missed an absolute sitter that even *I* could have netted. And then the Chelsea "faithful" would revert to denigrating him on every football forum they frequent. One fluke goal & he's back to his best? Not by a long shot. In years to come when analysing the career of Fernando Torres, one fact will be irrefutable - Liverpool got the BEST years out of him, from that point, his career took a nosedive and he never recovered.
McNulty despoils the epitaph of ****ER. Torres is like the UK economy - look hard enough and you'll find minute traces of recovery. Then compare that progress with other strikers and you find? - ABJECT FAILURE
Don't really care about what Torres is doing any more, I wanted him to fail initially of course but I'm over it now, Suarez coming in eased any pain. I never expected him to flop as he did but if he gets back to any sort of form then fair play to him but he has a while to go yet. But now we have 2 strikers banging in goals for us which is all that really matters to me.
This thread was about McNulty till that complete idiot eatmyhole made it about Torres, but as usual a chav taking out his arse, go back to your talk bollocks 10 wum threads a day board where you abuse and ban anyone that disagrees with you.
16 league goals for 50 million quid, says it all Jose has worked his magic, we might see a run of form, which is it? The chavs must have been searching the forum for the word Torres to have found this thread cos it aint in the thread title, well eatmyhole was and then he went and told his chav mates pathetic trolls
