Tooj Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I thought he was absolutely terrible against City. Chelsea improved massively with Drogba on the pitch instead of him. Definitely. Chelsea's style of play suits Drogba more than it does Torres IMO. Torres would be great for Chelsea if they had a couple of players who are capable of playing that killer through ball to him - those that are blessed with being able to play the short passing game to perfection. Whereas the group they have are better at playing a direct game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I thought he was absolutely terrible against City. Chelsea improved massively with Drogba on the pitch instead of him. Chelsea's midfield is not giving him much help though. Their midfield has almost no creativity, speed or movement with the ball, just lot of muscles and box to box players.

From brutes incapable of hitting a proper through ball to Xavi, Alonso and Iniesta. That transition got to hurt You talk some s**** sometimes, like. Yeah, that's real intelligent. Instead of labeling other views as s***, you could try to argument why you disagree. But I guess that hurts your brain too much. I know I'm right and this particular chelsea problem has also been mentioned by pundits. Why do you think Chelsea - with the best players on paper - have no chances on the title this year? They have too little mobility, the players want the ball in their feet, not in space. This stands in contrast to Man U where there's constant mobility and passing. That's why Man U performs better, with a weaker team. They play more effective football, while Chelsea run into problems when they meet teams that matches their physicality and defensive skills.

Punk77 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The 'brutish and uncreative' Frank Lampard has more assists than anyone in the history of the PL bar Ryan Giggs, btw. Yeah, but Lampard is not what he used to be, and that's one of the main reasons why Chelsea is struggling. Sewelly: Chelsea's movement without ball is not good enough. That's my main point. And they do not have a speedy player in the midfield that is able to run with the ball, putting the defenders under pressure, distributing the ball to the sides when the opponent have to push, ref Fabregas. They should have bought him instead of Torres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
