Torres' Miss - Worst ever? Not so sure..

May I add that this miss from Ronaldo was in a game that was nowhere near as relevant as the game today. In a big game, Ronaldo would have not been so complacement and in all likelihood, he would have buried it.

However, it is quite evident, that any proffessional footballer would have missed in Ronaldo's scenario. You just cannot cater for a bobble like that.

You cannot be sure of that

I wonder if Torres' confidence is still up after that.

It should be, he was fantastic.

Torres needs to go to Portugal or somewhere. It's where all the dead talent go.

Torres looked a lot sharper yesterday, some of the old Fernando Torres was there in parts of his game.

Torres was probably Chelsea's most dangerous player on the pitch. But he'll get a lot more shit for it because he's Fernando Torres. Just like any other big name forward would as well.

If he keeps getting into they postition's like he did yesterday and the players can keep creating for him, he wont keep missing and the confidence will come back.

I remember he constantly had to come and get the ball from the midfield yesterday. Ramires is NOT creative, Meireles is playing holding mid and Lampard didn't really do much when he was there. They really need a pure playmaker. Juan Mata would do better in that role than most of Chelsea's midfield could.

Bad turf can make any player look bad. Unfortunately for Torres, he was playing on the glorious turf at Old Trafford yet still make the catastrophic error

Ramires NOT creative, just played him through with a beautiful through ball.

Torres was running and slightly to the left of goal. The angle for Torres to score is less than half of that Ronaldo had.

Also.. im not your friend guy.

Would you really consider Ramires a play maker? Come on now, how many other "beautiful through balls" has he set up for other players? Is he known for it? Using an example isn't really a good arguement. Unless your confident Ramires will rack up assists during the season and becomes the main playmaker of that Chelsea midfield. He's a work horse, never stops running and always chases the ball when his team doesn't have it. He's closer to a destroyer than an actual creator.

My friend, I was talking about yesterday, I agree that Chelsea lack creativity.

Rangers.

But I was talking about in general. There is no creative spark they could bring off the bench. This Chelsea side needs time to really be as strong as people expect them to be.

I don't know what the fuck is going in with him at the moment, but he'll be ok, I think he's going to have a good season.

ramires not a playmaker but he is intelligent enough to know how to link short passing avenues and play. sometimes he does not execute these things well but other times he does(like torres chance). he is obviously not in chelsea team to dictate play, hes a modern box to box player

not the worst by any means, maybe the importance made up for it though. Yakubu's miss was more costly though.

I think this is the worst I've seen
