Is Fernando Torres getting enough of the ball at Chelsea?

Now that things have settled down after the game against Reading, it’s time to get into some discussion once again Chelsea fans.

I’m afraid it’s the same old story that has come to light at least twice last night and someone needs to have a word with this lot and tell them to stop being so greedy!

Now with the attacking midfield players we have signed, you would expect Chelsea to be knocking the ball about to create an opening and to find that defence splitting pass to Fernando Torres.

For the most part in the two games we have had so far this season, we get near the edge of the box and it just doesn’t happen. Look at the six goals we have scored so far. Two are penalties. Two have been laid on a plate by Eden Hazard for Branislav Ivanovic; one was a long range effort from Gary Cahill and the other goal was scored by Torres (alright, he was offside) but it was only because Ashley Cole looked to play him in.

How many times have I been banging on about the fact that people have ignored Torres in the past and how many times did you see Torres in despair and gesturing yesterday after making a run that had only been ignored once again.

Mr Ramires, I am sorry mate but you WERE the biggest culprit yesterday. Why you never played the ball square to Torres who was unmarked and in a much better position that you to score, I will never know.

We all know Torres will make runs all day, loves playing off the shoulder of the last defender and wants to be played in behind or down the channels but we really need to start looking up earlier and playing him in as early as possible.

Torres WILL score you goals for fun if given the right service. Even yesterday, at times, Juan Mata never looked like playing him in.

Chelsea’s new attacking midfield are exciting and we have all been impressed with Mr Hazard. The link up between Hazard and Mata has been impressive already, but we just need to transfer that to Torres.

Given the right ball played through at the right time, Chelsea can really open sides up for fun like we did for Torres’ goal against Reading.

We just need to get things right when it comes to the final ball and if someone else is in a better position, Chelsea need to give the ball to them instead in a better area.

What do you think? Is this writer making any sense?
