Last week they said if Torres was pants why cant others score, Today Cole scored, On wednesday Oscar scored.

Torres 0 goals 0 assist. and he keeps starting games

OMO IBO: Is it that hjard to score a goal?
Jeebus!
Torres isn't vying for the strikers position with anyone but he simply cannot score. . .facking ell.

When Stoke's rearguard ws found wanting, by Juan Mata's clever 27th-minute chip, Fernando Torres fluffed his finish with only goalkeeper Asmir Begovic to beat. Seven minutes earlier,

How many chances did the Chelsea Midfield create for him? Or do u simply expect him to turn up and start scoring goals with zero creativity behind him?

I'm pretty sure you did not even see the match cuz if u did u woulda noticed how dire the Midfield unit of chelsea were 2day(most especially in the first half)?

chic2pimp:

And how many chances did the Midfield create 2day?

OMO IBO:
Sarong and latif have over-used the above line.

Guess what -hazard, mata, oscar were on display - Still no joy

Surely, there has to be some jazz working against torres

debosky: Torres did have once chance, which he missed - a bad miss at that.

That said, the fact that it took a jammy goal by Cashley to nick the victory for Chelski shows that the forwards in general aren't playing well enough.

dayokanu: I am certain you didnt watch the game cos I cant start counting

25th min Mata released Torres faced the keeper and wasted it.

If Hazard, Mata, Oscar cant create chances for Torres, So who can? maybe Garba Lawal, Efe Sodje and Titus Bramble

The problem is now the pacy and skillful triad of oscar, mata and hazard eh??

I get it.

[size=18pt]The Spaniard made a clever run to collect Juan Mata's dinked pass in the 26 th minute and killed the ball beautifully on his chest but then, with only goalkeeper Asmir Begovic to beat from close range, he embarrassed himself with a miskick.[/size] "Didier Drogba, he would have scored that!" taunted the Stoke fans, who had a point. The effect of that mishap the Torres' already bruised confidence seemed clear later in the half when he twice shunned clear attempts to shoot and attempted superfluous passes instead

Ibime: Torres conversion rate since joining Chelsea - 9%.

coogar:

pathetic!!! in terms of creating chances, chelsea are the worst team in the top four. i now understand why lampard has bossed the scorer's charts at chelsea for so long!!!

dayokanu:



Drogba was top scorer, Anelka was top scorer.

Dud has 9 goals in 50 appearances. Excellent returns

dayokanu:

Top strikers for Chelsea have been known to deliver.

Drogba was top scorer, Anelka was top scorer.

Dud has 9 goals in 50 appearances. Excellent returns

dayokanu: Pathetic team in Chance creation yet they are the Only team in EPL I know that have scored over 100 goals a season

A record they set Just before they bought Torres

Ibime:

Anelka was a bully when he won the golden boot in 2009. All his goals were headers and anichebe type goals. Only a brute can score the kind of goals anelka scored, not torres

A-40:

How many chances did the midfield create for Steven Fletcher this week and the week before? You guys are not helping Torres with this excuses yall keep making for him week in week out! We are not even saying score every week but at least pose a threat to the opposing team!! You watch Chelsea these days and the stewards are more of a goal threat to the opposition than Torres.

A-40:

If he scored his first chance and misses another nineteen trust me no one would complain

coogar:

how many times did drogba deliver in his 8 seasons at chelsea? lampard bossed him for the first 2 seasons......drogba has only had 2 stellar performances @ chelsea in 8 yrs. anelka also had one good season. the other seasons have been wishy-washy....shevchenko, pizarro, kezman, quaresma, crespo all lost their jobs @ chelsea because the system let strikers down! only 2 strikers have excelled @ chelsea in the last 8 seasons - something must be wrong with the food strikers eat @ the bridge......compare and contrast with other clubs and you would see the difference!

chic2pimp:

Why only fletcher how about the other strikers in the league? Van Persie, Defoe et al.

I'm certainly not making excuses for Torres. I've said several times that Torres himself is not helping matters but what I can't stand is the likes of DK mouthing off everytime Torres fails to get himself on the score sheet.

How do you expect to score If the Midfield keeps creating one chance per game?
.

chic2pimp: Na lie people would still complain.

Torres's stats for the season reads 2 goals in 5 games yet people are still complaining.
The sad truth is that people expect superhuman performances from him week in week out just because of the £50M price tag
