How come he has played so badly ?
Well when you join a big club like chelsea for that kind of money the pressure should really be on you and thats something in football that if you want to be a succesfull player you must deal with that. Torres' Chelsea debut came in a 1-0 home defeat to his old side ( who he left just a week before) Torres in all honesty had a shocker that day and that really started this rotten era.
Can injuries be to blame?
In the world cup before the 2010/11 season torres was in a winning spanish side but never really showed his potential and later scans showed that the striker whos nickname is el nino was playing with a hamstring injury that may have been to blame for the following season but not this season where he has been completly injury free.Is there any possible exuses
Well not really but there is a few that may have affected him
1. He has been playing in a low confidenced side since torres has jonied chelsea have gone down hill and two managers have departed Roberto Di Matteo will be torres' 3rd manager in just over 1 year.
2. The formations
Torres usually played in a 4-2-3-1 formation at liverpool but since his move to chelsea he has been playing in a 4-5-1/4-3-3 system whitch he hasnt suited well.
Conclusion.
Torres hasn't performed at all well at Chelsea 5 goals in 51 games isnt good enough it looked like torres maybe finding a little bit of form when he scored against man united and swansea but he hasnt really done anything since , the horrific miss against Man united sums it all up!
