Time and again, Fernando Torres as furnished us all with irrefutable evidence that he does not have what it takes to be a Chelsea footballer. His perennial out-of-form nature now begs the question, was he really ever out-of-form to begin with or is this pathetic display of footballing skill the true extent of his capabilities ?
Sunday, 18th September, 2011. It is Chelsea vs Man. U, easily the most important match the English Premier League has to offer. Chelsea despite being the quite obvious superior team was surprisingly down by 3-1 in the 95th minute. At this time, Torres was presented by a perfect through ball. The Man. U. goalkeeper De Gea being the rookie that he is was out of position by a simple bit of dribbling by Torres leaving the goal completely open. The defense was miles behind and the target seemed almost impossible to miss. "Almost" being the operative term used here. Personally, I was tempted to say it was impossible to miss, but once again, Mr. Torres always trying to prove that he can do what no one else can missed this golden goal-scoring opportunity. No other player, whether they be a goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, striker, an amateur footballer or even a person kicking the ball for the first time would have missed but Torres once again displayed his fine talent for finding the wrong side of the net.
In case no one has told you Mr. Torres, here's the secret........you're meant to get the ball to go INSIDE the net ! Not around, not under it and definitely not over it !
I say, just give him a couple million or two and tell him to stay at home for the rest of the season. He'll be doing the rest of the team a big favour. Spain may have won the world cup, but that does not make all spaniards world - cup material.
Also, I know Andre Villas-Boas is new and all and deserves more of a chance to prove himself capable, but what was he thinking ? Benching Anelka was Dumb with a capital D, plain and simple. We all hope Drogba a speedy recovery so that he may replace the inept Spaniard Torres. Though Sturridge is proving himself an asset to the team, I'd still pick Anelka over him for just the sheer experience and greater finesse in his play. Sturridge makes for a great substitute.
