coogar: torres is the arrow-head for feck's sake - how would the ball get to him without the help of his team-mates? i ask again - would torres take the ball from cech and dribble his way to opposition box and score all by himself? is this after(O.J.O.)??
you watched the game against city - please tell me, how many chances did chelsea create for torres from open play? i kept hoping chelsea were going to float a ball in torres' direction just once but it never happened and yet we just expect him to score.......
you watched united's game this weekend - with the crap midfield, how many goals have van persie and rooney scored in the last 2 league fixtures? how are they going to score when the chances are far and in between? without anderson's power drive and the killer pass, would chicharito have scored? when was the last time any chelsea midfielder fed torres with precision like that?
this is what we are asking MAZACAR to do - if it was hazard on that ball, he would either carry that ball to the edge of the box and fire a shot or keep dribbling till he gets tackled by a defender and the chance would be lost. hernandez is not a superman - he relies on his midfielders to play to his strength and feed him the ball to score. until chelsea start doing this, torres would not score goals! football is a team sport not about individuals.......

1. heck, he might as well do that. at least folks will know that he is trying.
2. how many did he create for himself? And the few times he got the ball, what did he do with it? NOTHING!
3. It is insane and wrong to blame everyone EXCEPT Torres. No striker in the world is spoon-fed anymore.
A student cannot say because he has no Montblanc pen, therefore he can decide not to write an exam. He is sure going to fail. No excuse his valid for Fernando. Any team relying on FT to win titles will be relegated.
Football is a team sport and Torres is NOT helping his team.

coogar: every football player in this modern era is a prima donna - no one should be earning £250,000 per week! that's 5 yrs salary of a brain surgeon!!! that being said, a player bought for £500 trillion will not win a game all by himself against 11 players. torres needs the support of his teammates - football is a team game not an individual sport like the 100m sprint!

so all he has to do is wait for his team mates to perform before he does anything?
Besides, where was he when his team mates were actually performing? picking his nose?
Wonderful job innit?

coogar: this mentality has to change amongst football fans.
the price tag means nothing....hernandez at £6m, torres @ £50m, dzeko @ £27m, etc - does it then mean torres would have 8 legs and 2 heads or produce 800% more efficiency than hernadez? at the end of the day, it's one striker versus the other. a striker of 2000 naira can outperform an off-form ronaldo on any given day! messi's worth can buy the whole of celtic and yet celtic demolished them the other night - people who attach price tags with players are malicious....
torres didn't pocket the £50m, liverpool did!
whose fault is it that dalglish overpriced torres and chelsea were too gullible to match the price? if the values make so much difference then torres should be counted as 3-4 players, shouldn't he? even if he's priced at £699 trillion, he would still need the help of his team mates to perform. he would not score all by himself - football is a team game not about individual expensive players.

Pardon my french but what then makes FT the prima donna in the team?
Yes, that's right, cos the dude cost 50 milla!
Blaming the sun, rain and the pink grass but absolving FT of any blame is pathetic.
Really, it's like I said earlier, FT's form is now a non-issue!

coogar: that's because you don't make £1m a decade - it's natural to think you would capture the sun for £50m. do you really think £50m would mean so much for torres like it would mean to you? humans are insatiable. if you start making £100m a day from tomorrow, by march next year you would want a raise......your satisfaction is relative to the people in your immediate environment.

How much FBS makes is highly irrelevant because anyone including you will agree that 50 milla is no small money by any standard.
So if Torres is playing like a 1 milla pound player (and atimes even worse) it is because he himself is baffled as to why RA paid that much for him. I will like to know the guy who sold an out of date solar battery (FT) to Pyrios (RA).
Even Benitez can't do nada with FT's form now. Do you see how he is when on the ball?

coogar: if that's the case, lets leave torres alone on the pitch against 11 players then. he's £50m, he should be able to face any bottom side alone by himself and win the match!

For 50 milla, I will mop all the streets of London and Lagos and naked too. For 50 milla Fernando should be working HARDER than every other player on the pitch. And should be performing his primary functions and very well too. In this he has failed so far. Folks will argue that it is because he has the wrong tool.
The bigger question though is, when other attackers were performing where was Torres?

Honestly, I think it is an insult to CFC folks to even discuss this guy again. It's a non-issue.

how many players on the pitch cost 50 milla?

A very forgettable 46 mins of football.

maclaren na one funny team. allowing drivers to race each other. Ferrari will NEVER do that.

Its Citeh tomorrow , a win and we are back in business...at least for now until RA decides to buy himself another toy (manager)

A spirited display by Betis. One chance 1 goal. Football sha!
Khedira should go for scoring lessons. missing sitters like say him be Fernando.
Don't know why but Ronldo has been poo. Did nada for 93 mins.
Shall we conclude that the La Liga is over for Real?

Mcleo007: That's why you are the Balogun of Russia.

Meaning? omo na wa o. wetin person no go read for here!

Everyone saying Pakistani army this and Pakistani that! some even went as far as posting war planes etc...smh
Which other country have allowed Pakistani army to train them? How many?

And that Nigeria sends many of its officers to Pakistan for training does not mean that they are indeed the best or one of the best.
Se if you send your kids to Otutupoyoyo government secondary school, does that mean that that school is the best?
What it means is that, that is what, you my friend can afford.

Pakistani ko, Pakista-bomb ni. Abeg, make them relocate and transfer their knowledge elsewhere.

usbcable: was wondering was it you or not



chai if to sey na you you go dash me some kishi sha o

wahali, them suppose roll me some kishi.
and you, as my padi , will get 0.2%

^^^Honestly, I'm not exactly sure I understand what you meant!

debosky: not just some knockout competition fluke playing 9-0-1 formations - yet he got sacked after coming second in the league. So who the heck is RDM that he won't get fired?

Really, I don't know what you are on here? Fluke? You can get pregnant by mistake but certainly cannot give birth by mistake (fluke). There is a certain process you go through and you are a confirmed WINNER if you go through it successfully!
Besides, does it matter what formation he used? let it be 11-0-0 sef!
The man won the BIGGEST prize in Club football (the one trophy RA was craving for) and you are saying who the heck is he? Something even JM couldn't do and I wonder why wenguy couldn't perform the same magic (fluke).
damn, I don't even want to go into how he rescued the season and won over the dressing room.
You will say he is lucky, oh I rather be lucky than good. Better still LUCKY and GOOD!
True, the results and performance in the last 4 games were more than pathetic but I guess we all know some of the reasons.
So please, stop yarning RUBBISH!!!

Is this the end of tiki taka for Chelsea or what precisely is going on?
Now I hear talk of counter attacking stunts and what not.. , has RA changed his mind?
Hazard is no Alonso and Mata is no Gerrard, well except Rafa is looking to remould them.
Sunday can't come soon enough!

Benitez promises to bring the best out of Torres! Good.
Are we playing for Fernando or playing to win?

^^^ Question is have they solved their own problem right at their own backyard? How effective are they?
This is an insult! Pakistani army? This is a BLEEPING JOKE!

Sorry folks, a little off topic but when I saw FBS , I was like whaaaayt? EFF-whaaaaat!

them suppose pay me o. copyright mehn!

Personally, don't just know what to make of Rafa. not sure of his MMS and his last days with Liverpool was poo coupled with the fact that he destroyed Inter.
Anyways, na interim coach sha , besides CFC means a lot to us to start beefing with any manager right now.

3 points na the koko on sunday. Rafa or no Rafa!

This is a BLEEPING JOKE!

Ronado is one selfish goat. Yes I said it. Infact I think he played rubbish today. WTF is wrong with him?

Anyway, congrats. At least you guy are certainly through to the last 16!

oh so its Rafa! well, well. . .will Chelsea fans protest at The Bridge on Sunday?
RA can do his thing but man, what was he thinking? are we to blame Fernando for this?

Sunday's match is getting even BIGGER by the day!

Ibime: Meanwhile I'm watching real - city game. Ronaldo is a Arrow. See clear pass to Benzema. He can't even apologise. Benzema has to hold his hand to show Mourinho that his boy won't pass ball for easy tap in, instead of trying to dribble 3 players to score. Greedy Arrow. That's why he can't take WPOTY off Messi.

saw that too and I'm like WTF is wrong with this guy? billy goat.

Just saw this now on yahoo sports!!! WOW!
It's one heck of a job to manage this club! RA is in one word - RUTHLESS!

The morning after and you just don't feel like reading the back pages but hey, we can still go through. Mathematically that is. And if we don't, norin do us. It's no longer in our hands.

Every team needs steel and we just don't have that at the moment. There was no leader on that pitch last night.
Mata, Hazard just fizzled out, er, for like 3-4 matches now.
Oscar na hustler and I think he will become even better.
Ramirez, frankly as of today, I have no idea what he is doing in the team!
Mikel - SMH! from good to bad then bad to excellent then to madness.
Luiz - send him to the reserves

RdM lost it last night and I still can't believe it that he did not get a striker! Emenalo plotting graphs or not, we don't have a striker. You can't be playing with 10 men and expect to win all your games. even with 11 sef na elele.

Anyways, its citeh next! I'm banking on the fact that we are not going to play tiki-taka but rather SENSIBLE football. Getting back to winning ways is PARAMOUNT!

God bless Nigeria. What a country!

Danny Mills, at the Juventus Stadium in Turin for BBC Radio 5 live

"Chelsea lacked character and presence. They need to find replacement for John Terry and Frank Lampard, who are coming to the end of their careers, and they need to replace Didier Drogba with a striker who will work hard. They have been left with just Torres and that makes things very difficult."

Juventus completely played us off the shizzle! Congrats to them if they finally go through!

Chelsea played like they partied all night. No strength, no vision, no passes. crazy formation. Nothing.

EVERY SINGLE PLAYER played ZERO! Starters and subs. ZERO!

RdM went all the way down to -100. How as a manager you fail to buy a proper striker? He has failed EVERY BIG TEST THIS SEASON!

I intially thought first half was bad, but 2nd half was worse than poo!

Anyways, miracles do happen sha. We move on jejele.

Goodnight folks.

RdM fall for my hand badly. If I was thinking that the first half was bad, I think the second was ABSOLUTE POO!
They completely lost it. Well play to Juventus. They deserved to win.

Chelsea? where should I start? The team has failed EVERY BIG TEST this season. And someone dey tell me say na tiki-taka football go solve the problem!

rubbish rubbish rubbish. are these boys footballers at all? maybe they are yet to be paid!
