That's like saying, Drogba's two goals against Valencia don't count because you would have won 1-0. Awful argument to make.

I apologize for calling you mean.Did I not say it was apt?
I seriously can't get how one can belittle Torres' achievements. Yeah he was too scorer in the Europa League and that's fine ... But he never scored 'big goals' for us in Europe. He is on mammoth wages. He is a hugely polarizing figure at the club. I can't see why anyone wouldn't want him gone and have Drogba come back
What? That's rubbish ... Now you have truly descended. Drogba scored the first two goals. Torres scored a goal when we were already through. Even if I was to agree with you, Drogba still scored vs Barcelona and Bayern
The only one who has a rubbish argument here is you. Stop trying to salvage it please
Someone comes on here and says Torres scored 'big goals' in Europe. When I ask him to elaborate on the 'big goals' he scored, he names me one non-essential goal against Barcelona and then accuses me of belittling Torres' achievements. Nice
No he didnt, he scored first and third. It's the exact kind of argument you are trying to make.
Torres also scored against Barcelona. Discounting goals arbitrarily is the argument of a child.
I'm out.
Chelsea thread is the new Manchester United thread, GodCubed swap your alleigance and come to the red side
Why? Has the Chelsea thread suddenly become filled with varying degree's of optimism and pessimism before the inevitable disappointment
Drogba scored vs Bayern and Barcelona as well
Even in the best case scenario ... It's Drogba 3 Torres 1
Oh and you won't be missed
Incredibly unfair comparison to make as Drogba was playing in ******* turkey at the time whereas Torres has mata, hazard and Oscar supplying him against sub-standard European sides

There was nothing inevitable about David Moyes if you're referring to that, plus imagine if David Moyes was appointed at Chelsea, imagine how many fans would of been on his back after 3 months let alone 6 or 7! Lol.
Yeah well look at it this way... At least United fans can't stick to that smug line that 'they give managers time' anymore
Oh oh and we would have been on his back within one month, got him sacked ... Finished in the top 4 and might have won something along the way as well #difference

Thats optimistic. They were on Benitez back the moment he was appointed.
It's not about making a comparison. I said Torres scored big goals in Europe, which he clearly did in the EL too.
Also why would it be unfair when he chose to go to Turkey, and still had a chance to play CL anyway.
Didnt Realise Benfica (who he scored against) or Basel were sub standard sides. He was key to firing you to that trophy.

I actually liked Benitez. Top manager
It is about making a comparison though. The entire discussion centers around whether Drogba or Torres would be a better fit as our third choice striker
No one doubts Torres was key to firing us to the Europa League but as I said, it's an unfair comparison to make. A seasoned striker like Torres will obviously do well in the Europa League. It's the CL which counts and Drogba ***** on Torres when it comes to who shows up more in the big games
Mmm, I said Torres was effective in Europe, you then spend 2 pages trying to claim he wasn't despite evidence to the contrary.
He has also been more effective than Drogba, but that wasn't the argument I was making.

I really mean this in the nicest most respectful and sincerest way possibleYou bunch of boring feckers, I'd actually made a post making a case for torres and drogba but after recapping the last few pages it would just be a total waste I'll use it for a blog instead

If you won nothing with Mourinho you certainly weren't winning anything with an interim manager lol.
Good lord, just face it, you're lucky Moyes isn't your manager as there would be a meltdown of Chelsea fans in a matter of 1 week.
Anyway back to you moaning about Torres or something, or whatever you are trying to prove.
