Why the **** do you keep hoofing the ball when we have only dwarves on the pitch? ******* ****, we are so pathetic right now. Plan B doesn't work anymore, Drogba is not there anymore.
 
Once again it seems like we have started a season brightly and gotten all the fans excited thinking we actually have a shot at the title only to be let down by ****** winter performances...

Indeed, for all Torres' faults, he's only guilty of doing what your whole side is doing, missing big chances.

Except he is the main striker and the job of finishing those chances rests largely on him. Another winter of discontent beckons it seems
 
Problem is we lack a clinical striker. Same problem last season. We made a huge mistake relying on Torres.

Actually it rests on the front 4 and anyone who players there. I know you are really desperate to blame everything on Torres, but no.
 
Only real positive today was Torres' world-class performance...he was so good RDM had to sub him off in the 62nd minute because there were genuine fears he might actually score
 
Tbh I think Torres should leave. He's in a no win situation. When the team has a mare he's absolutely slaughtered (majority of the time). Yes Luiz isn't having the greatest of times, but he's not getting pathetic leg breaking comments of some quarters.

And Clarke. What can you say about him? What a fantastic start for him. Deserves all the plaudits coming his way
 
**** it Feruz has 20 goals in 36 games for the youth team lets stick him up top in Turin :p
 
My deepest fears came to reality. We were too much dependant on Drogba. Unless we buy Falcao, I don't see how we will recover nor do I see how Sturridge and Torres will win us the title.

And no Mike, strikers should score those goals, exactly like RvP does for you.
 
Torres brought this upon himself. We gave him enough time and supported him throughout. His job is to score goals. He is not doing that.
 
I suppose we will have to slug it out till January and then go for Llorente. Hopefully we remain in the Top 4 till then.
 
Look at Manchester United. They play badly and go behind in so many games yet they come back to win it because they have a army of clinical strikers. If it's not RVP then its Hernandez. That's what we need. A guy we can rely on to score goals.
 
But maybe shouldn't rely too heavily on Torres to score goals? At Everton goalscorers are spread throughout the squad. Jelavic, Baines, Jags, Osman.... Maybe need other players to also take the chances that are presented

Then we should buy at least 2 clinical strikers in January, and we are not going to do that. We are not even sure if we will buy any strikers at all.

Don't twist his words. He said that largely, the job of scoring goals relies on the striker; and that is undeniably true, whichever way you look at it.

Easy to say when you have a striker of the quality of Jelavic. Chelsea aren't relying on Torres to score goals at all, since he can't. The difference here is that at Everton, goals are spread around because of the quality of the players and good playstyle: at Chelsea, they're spread around by necessity, which is a much worse situation to be in.

I've never said he hasn't needed to score more goals, he certainly does. But its not just on him, and the missed chances by other players are not his fault. Dire today, truly dire, but the rest had enough chances from what i saw to take the game, and that shoudnt be on Torres.
