Don't let the truth get in the way of a good media ****fest. Schalke were complete ****e too, they are no Basle
The problem I have with the article is that he's scored 1 league goal all season. 49 players have scored more league goals than him this season (yes I checked) and we are supposed to believe he is now good enough to lead the line for a team that are aiming to challenge for the title based on the fact he's ran around a little bit and chased a couple of lost causes and got a couple of bounces his way?
Jesus wept. I think the article is based on a little more than his league goals return this year. If you'd seen him play v Spurs, City, Bayern and Shalke (all good to very good sides) you'd see he is showing signs of improvement, consistency and form. But then you lot were always fixated on 'facts'. Can't see why you're so bitter towards him anyway. He was brilliant for you and wanted away to better himself (which he did trophies wise at least). Much like rat boy; but the difference being your board didn't sell this time. Yet you still worship Suarez, who has also dragged Liverpool's name through the mud - which Torres never did. Why?
Torres started bad mouthing Liverpool as soon as he thought we were out of earshot. After he was *allowed* to leave with literally no time to find a replacement. That's why.
It was said after he left 'we hate him so much because we loved him so much' [emphasis on because] Personally I don't hate him. I think a lot of fans felt very let down by the manner in which he left and are pleased that he's had a tough time since!
It's about McNulty's article, one of his many bull**** pieces. Torres left years ago. Since then he has shown signs of improvement and tbh who cares. What turned this into a Torres thread was trolling visiting Chelsea fans. Go Figure. Thread title "McNulty blathering again" not "Torres is crap" but eatmyhole and you turned this into a how good is Torres thread by trolling. Everyone knows Torres has been poor and that he's shown odd flashes of his old self. So it's not really worth discussing. Mcnulty tries to say it's the Jose effect yet he's Nando's had a better gtg ratio under Rafa and also picked up a EL winners medal under Rafa and a CL winners medal under RDM so where was McNulty's Rafa and RDM effect articles? What is laughable is you trying to say that 2 of the league's 3 top scorers atm wouldn't get as many goals playing in your Chelsea team which is really just an attempt to mitigate Torres poor form
It's called an opinion son. And the proof being that none of our strikers, even drogba (post the 2010 season) banged in loads of league goals - its not just Torres. As I say, we get goals all over so it's not a problem really. And don't pretend this thread was anything other than another attempt to have snide digs at Torres and Jose as well as the journo. As for trolling, camped out on the United board much?
Torres made one comment about now playing for a 'big' side, that's pretty much all i remember him saying. And clearly he meant a club that could challenge for the big honours - which was true. Fact is, it's being fickle. Happy to forget the **** Suarez has put you through because he's good and wasn't allowed to leave. People like Sisu wouldn't still be banging on about Torres 3 years on if he wasn't so devastated that he dared leave to come to us.
If you seriously think we have forgotten then you sir, are crazier than I thought I know with you being a Chelsea fan you might find this hard to believe, but cheering your team on is more beneficial than booing an individual! Suarez is a ****, but he's out **** and he will continue to be cheered whilst he wears the red shirt. Nothing wrong with supporting your team. Edit: way to fall in line with the media too
As far as Torres goes, it must be said he is playing slightly better than he has been for the past 2 years. However, in terms of form I would argue that he is one of the least in-form strikers in the world. Imagine if he was a player at a low-table team. Let's use Crystal Palace (and I mean no disrespect). Would their fans be happy? No, they'd be pissed off that they wasted millions on him. For 2 years Abramovich tried anything to make sure Torres had optimal conditions to play and thrive. He never did. Recently he hasn't been starting, why? Because of Eto'o and the rest. There were matches where Jose didn't even start any strikers. Since then he has come on as a substitute and made a few starts and while his link up play has been good - he still has only one goal to his name in the league. City aside, how many of his goals were winners? How many were inconsequential? Take the goal against Barca - Chelsea were already through at that stage. He just killed it off in the final minutes. Not the vital goal its made out to be. How many of his goals came against top teams as opposed to teams like Nordsjellaeng (sp?). I could probably score 4 vs. Tahiti as well. When you answer all of these you see that any talk of form is microscopic and myopic. "Ignoring all the matches in which he's been useless, and the ones where he's been irrelevant, and the ones he's been awful in, he's actually been average!" Three games doesn't make form and the rest he was average in and didn't score. No other striker would ever be in a sentence together with the word form under those circumstances. I think Chelsea are a dangerous team and will win things under Mourinho - but this doesn't depend on Torres whatsoever.
You are totally misreading Sisu if you believe that his feelings regarding Torres is down to the club that he moved to. As far as Chelsea themselves are concerned the whole issue gave us a laugh in terms of your inability as supporters to invent a Torres song for yourselves; the fact that you actually paid the price and the continued downturn in form that he has displayed since his transfer. The reactions that Torres provokes is all about the player, his behaviour (particularly in his last half season) and his assurances to the fans. He was loved a lot and now he isn't. It's personal!
It was not opinion it was trolling because Torres is mentioned, but lets face it, this is not my first Mcnulty is talking bollocks thread. It was Mcnulty that mentioned Torres, I just provided some stats on PL form to show McNulty was talking bollocks. You lot as desperate to see the Torres of old, sure I wouldn't begrudge Chelsea fans that but lets be realistic. he's never shown the Torres of old in 2 and a half years and yet Phil seems to think Jose has done or is doing the job with no evidence to support his ****e. The brilliant spell Torres hadn't liverpool was the best he ever was in his whole career, never matched it before coming to Liverpool or after leaving. It was his peak. But it doesn't matter because if he can stop sulking for 10 minutes he might actually get some form. Torres poor form is down to one person, Torres. He has sulked 100 times more than played good football in over 3 years. So any good form is down to Torres. I also laugh at the reasoning that Rafa was hired primarily to get Torres firing That's the stupidest thing I have heard for a long long time. It may have been hoped that he would but it was far from the primary reason he was hired to take over. Only a club with such disregard for expenditure would be even remotely appreciative of Torres. 2nd to Eto, a player who's a shadow of his former self and in the twilight of his career. Says it all in terms of McNulty talking bollocks And rightly pointed out, Jose hasn't even been playing Torres and preferred to have no striker rather than play him at OT which makes McNulty even more of an idiot
We had signed Suarez before Torres left, if rumours to be believed he was lined up as a potential partner for Torres.
you definitely haven't been watching Torres in a Chelsea shirt then . He's obviously not going to come back, but he's definitely due some praise for what he's done so far this season. If he can transfer his european form to the League then we'll have 10+ out of him which is fine by me.
