Fernando Torres

That's a bit of a contradiction

It's that bit just before it becomes a horse.

Apparently dropped for Sunderland game

@Richard__Buxton
Fernando Torres dropped for #Chelsea's trip to Sunderland. His comments this week about returning to form seem poorly timed on reflection.

Just heard on SSN, Torres on the bench..

[Liverpel]

That's what he gets for calling Sturridge "an incredible player".

Torres seems frustrated and his touch was appalling

TorresLol

That last pass by Torres when it was 3 against 1... I've seen some horrible passes but oh dear this must be one of the worst of all time.

Last 20-25 mins (facepalm) ;Torres (duoble facepalm)

Bringing Torres on was a mistake, would rather have seen McEachran.

And thats just off the first two pages from their after match thread!

I would laugh at him being dropped today, but our defeat today won't allow me to.

So Torres is dropped for Sturridge who scores in his first start of the season.

Problems for Torres. Pressure on him is building...

That's a bit of a contradiction

How?

**** me, Sturridge scoring really is giving another kick in the bollox to a man already lying on the ground pretending to have been kicked in the bollox to try and stop the queue forming to kick him in the bollox but who ironically kicked himself in the bollox when falling. I've kinda thought his demise has been gleefully exaggerrated on here but it really seems like Torres is over. Extraordinary fall from grace if it continues. Definitely the biggest collapse in a top player I've ever seen.

His fall from grace is up there with the likes of Darko Pancev

A few more :

Honestly, I thought that Torres was Sunderlands best player, an absolute disgrace and waste of space. His whole demeanour was ' I've been dropped, so f**k it'. Totally lost support for him. Shevchenko is like Rooney compared to this poser.

Torres was terrible with his pass no where near Ramires when a simple pass would of put him one on one with the goalkeeper.

the other thing
is it just me or Fernando seemed not interested at all

But I am sorry, when he comes on he doesn't chase and that pass at the end was terrible, terrible :P

I haven't said one bad word about Torres since we signed him, I have always said that he needs time. But that today was just absolutely horrendous, he looked like some League One striker we signed on a free. He lost every single ball he got. Embarrassing.

[McDermotX]

Yes. The slow midfield is the problem.

[Buzzo]

Special Agent Torres, you are performing too well - the Chavs are onto you. Perhaps score the odd goal, just to throw them off the scent?
