I kinda feeling sorry for Torres. I understand that there will be expectations that come with his price tag even if I don't agree with them. Torres is supposed to be an additional and highly dangerous weapon on a team with some supposed great players. Instead, it seems he has been tasked with being a saviour on a team of underachievers. I think he just may have already proven his worth already on the squads that had Zola, Ravenelli (sp), le Saux and Desaillly running things. West Brom, at times, had as many as 8 men compacting the narrow path that Chelsea does choose and that would make for a difficult task for any one player when everybody else around him is playing so dysfunctional. Anelka, as much as I like him, did absolutely NOTHING besides scoring the equaliser yesterday and if you add Kalou's contribution to the game you still come up with nothing...even less. Lampard is another player I've always liked, but it's time for Chelsea to recognise that his best and most effective days for this team and the way the game is evolving in the epl is far behind him. He is slow, not-so-skillful, relatively unimaginative and predictable and his inability to possess the ball is a liability. with players like Suarez, Chicharito, Tevez, Nasri and Dzeko spread around the league, we need players to be equally quick, aggressive and skilful if we expect to win any trophies and this continued way we have of playing a slow, lumbering, methodical build up is going to hurt us.
