Only scoring 1 goal last season, the Spaniard has looked far from his best, doing exactly the opposite he is known for.
This was a player that terrorized Nemajna Vidic, arguably the best defender in the Premier league, turning the United man inside out but now Fernando misses open nets and is bullied by almost every defender he encounters.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich probably laments making 1 of the biggest mistakes of his life which would be buying the wasteful striker.
The signs were clear, the striker wasn't even performing for Liverpool.
Now Chelsea fans have to stick to playing Fifa if they want him to actually score goals.
But all hope isn't loss i must say. After sitting down and watching the thrilling encounter between Chelsea and Newcastle i saw something and i am sure Chelsea fans saw it too. Sadly it wasn't the sight of Torres getting any better that is. But the sight i beheld was that of Daniel Sturridge.
The English striker was practically Chelsea's biggest threat in the game. I heard about his performances of recent in previous games, but didn't really get a chance to see the forward in action before. But by his performance on this occasion he deserved to start the game, before the likes of Torres, Anelka and Kalou.
He certainly didn't let his manager, Andre Villas-Boas or Chelsea fans down on the day. The young Chelsea star is a joy to watch combining his quick accelerating runs, amazing skills and his "freakishly" powerful left foot.
He troubled Newcastle's defense through out the whole 90 minutes and probably should have scored a hat-trick but regardless he did what Torres has been trying to do for a while now and that is score.
Chelsea fans should be able to take a sigh of relief as their is a light at the end of the road. It might not be in the form of highly over priced Spaniard but Sturridge is ready to take up the task as being Chelsea's main striker and a regular scorer.
