  • Can someone find Fernando? Get the man the fucking ball.

  • Max

    He looks like he's about to score. I think it's a matter of time, the next few games he will knock one in for sure.

  • Sharinganfx

    like all new signings, there's always a game that makes them legendary. Let's hope its the United game.

  • Max

    I couldn't agree more. Torres always torments Vidic. I remember a Liverpool-Manchester United game a year or so ago, a barely fit Torres scored a brace and made a fool of Vidic.

  • arn00b

    Where's the "Sell Nic, he's old" Brigade? Anyone? Didn't think so.

  • There's the second, lads. Anelka with his brace, thanks to a wonderful reverse ball from Lampard. Huge.

  • Mateo

    we look slow and lacking ideas once we get to the box

  • I think that's largely down to Copenhagen sitting back so much, and waiting for us to do something. They look intimidated to be honest.

  • Good half. Copenhagen have been really disappointing.

  • We need a second here.

  • It's certainly possible with the amount of chances we're creating. I'm giving the nod to Malouda to convert.

  • Shit, even Flo and Sir Frank look energized. Not to get hopes up, but this is encouraging.

  • Sharinganfx

    SO MUCH SPACE. holy crap. Torres looking way more confident.

  • Great attacking thus far from Torres. He looks dialed-in for today's match.

  • Surprised this formation is yielding results so far. We've looked incisive to start. More, please.

  • Mateo

    seems that Nico gets his shit straight only when we are about to loose total faith on him!

  • No penalty? No problem for Nico. We'll take it!

  • Sharinganfx

    awesome finish from Nelks. Its a good day for him.

  • Good start this.

  • Sharinganfx

    i swear i just heard commentator say frank grampard.

  • arn00b

    haha. That's actually funny, but age isn't everything. Who'll win the league this year? One of the older teams or one of the younger ones?

  • Not entirely shocking is it?

  • I thought Torres looked more focused than he had previously while observing the lads in the handshake line. Then he goes up and wins a header, then sparks forward. Promising.

  • Sharinganfx

    Predator cut his hair. hope it doesn't affect his precision

  • Mateo

    new hair cut for Flo!

  • This is going to be interesting. Up the Chels!

  • Chelsea Fan

    chelsea 2-0

    Torres And Kalou (When He Comes Of The Bench) To Score

  • arn00b

    I was going to say 2-1 Chelsea, but now I'm not sure.

    Torres should be slowly introduced to the team, not pushed in with all the responsibility on his shoulders. Don't know if initiation by fire would work, but oh well, what the hell.

  • yosh

    torres is garbage

  • Sharinganfx

    Torres MUST get a full 90 minutes.

  • arn00b

    Why? If he misses 33 sitters and Chelsea are still trailing 1-0, doesn't someone else deserve a chance?

  • Max

    At this point we should keep Torres in for sure. He's been unlucky not to have scored so far. I think he's on the verge of knocking one in pretty soon. He is also playing better, his touches have improved, and his positioning (which wasn't bad at all before this game) is even better now

  • Sharinganfx

    cause his 34th will be a goal. point is that hopefully we won't get ourselves into a sticky situation and he'll get game time to gel with the team.
