coded guy: How a 50m striker who is not injured would be kept on the bench in a crucial UCL game leaves a lot to be desired. Its either the coach does not know what he is doing or the said striker is a disgrace to the amount he was bought.

6or me Torres has not helped himself at all, arguements like the team needs to play to torres's strenght is rather weak, the question is the few times torres has been given the ball what did he do with it. The guy just can't re-enact the form that we all know him to be and its pathetic.

Torres has failed woefully and to even suggest playing a false 9 in the game against juv is an indictment on his game. Even from set pieces we don't see torres attempting to head the ball or attack the ball as a striker should consistently do.

Juv were far better yesternite, they passed the ball with more conviction and I think saying chelsea was two goals down b4 Torres came on is not the issue, Torres has been on the field for 90minutes and chelsea would still have lost the game.
When players are not confident that if they give torres the ball he would do justice they tend to take irrational decisions, then playing a false 9 like they did against juv is also an experiment that backed fired all because a certain 50million pound striker has refused to hit form. At least during the days of drogba worst case scenerio is lob the ball upfront and let the one man army do justice, there is always a 50/50 chance something will haPpen, with Torres, there is no option.

BlueDiva: This is too hasty.
So who comes in now Shevchenko? Roman is a mad man.
