He needs to just retire, he's becoming more and more of a laughing stock every time he sets foot on a pitch. No top flight team will offer him a contract of more than about £40k a week, why would you? He'll be on about £150k a week at Chelsea too so won't take such a cut

Terrible waste of a career. He was unstoppable at the RS.

I do have a twinge of sympathy for him really. He was superb at his peak, then one injury, and it seemed that little extra few % he lost in pace/touch/confidence or whatever it was, made him look ordinary at best.

But he just became a big sulky kid. So he lost a yard of pace? He could still stick them away. But he chose to just mope about instead.
 
I reckon Torres just fell out of love with football. Been playing since he was 16 was captain of his favourite team at 18, scored the winner for Spain in the 2008 Euro final, won the World Cup...

This is true. Every time I've watched him for the past 3 years he gives the impression that he would rather be anywhere other than a football pitch

True. Should've just walked away.

Confidence is the biggest asset any player could have, players feed of support from fans and coaches, at Chelsea i think Torres just lost that belief, every mistake was in the spotlight and he got torn to shreds for it.
 
See i remember torres vs stoke pick the ball up at the side of the area drive past defenders and bend it in the far post. Hindsight, took my breath away watching it on MOTD, thought to myself they have a real quality striker there to do that by himself from that position.

Watching i think PSG last season he comes on and just doesn't look like he remembers how to be a striker. He wasn't making runs past the defenders , staying defense side when recieving the ball and very slow reactions.

i honestly believe it will come out after he retires that he hated being at chelsea and there was something negative going on with him and the club. Or even just oo much pressure being made to be a star signing from the manager/board/expectations.

liverpool played him into the ground because they had noone else to step in.

if suarez joined them a couple of years later (i.e. closer to his prime) the exact same would have happened to him - no doubt.

sturridge's injuries will only get worse and more frequent too, especially if this season is anything to go by.
 
RAWK trying to figure out what's going on and offering their advice to Brendan. This chap thinks he should be watching World War 2 in colour and learning things

Thing is, He needs to make a decision one way or another before things get even worse.

What we're witnessing now resembles the last days of Ged and Rafael. Both went for "caution first, old guard" in their last days to rescue the team and it didn't materialize for them. I recall much of the fanbase being gobsmacked at Aquilani's omission from match-day squads and calling him to play. Not because he was Alonso, but be cause he was a new ray of sunlight, when were creating [Poor language removed] all with Lucas-Masch midfield back then. He came in eventually, and had a ridiculous assist/game ratio and nearly got us to a European final.

This is what Brendan needs to do know. I always see a football manager's job as a ruler of a country. Successful managers study history and trends, and are proactive when a storm eventually hits. Brendan should see that caution first, and going into a defensive shell didn't bear fruits for those before him, and is unlikely to save him at this point. It's time for being bold. What made Brendan Rodgers popular here at the first place was his massive balls. To throw teenage Suso and Sterling into a starting line up at Goodison, to make a sub at 22nd minute when it wasn't tactically working. To change formations 3 times during a game. That ballsy Brendan needs to comeback and kick this currently coward one out.

Joseph Stalin made a massive balls up of a situation when the Nazi German attacked USSR in WW II. He wasn't ready for it as he had a pact with Hitler. After starving people of Leningrad to death, the German army were within kilometres of Moscow. He had a choice. To leave Moscow in order to Save Russia (Buying himself some time)? Or to stay in Moscow and counter-back, risking he'll lost fast. He went within brinks of getting on the train to get to Eastern Russia, like what Mikhail Kutuzov the Tsar did in 1812, but in the last minute, he had a change of heart and made one of the most decisive decisions in history of this world. A decision that changed the world we live in today. A very bald and brave one. He stayed in Moscow and what happened next we all know.
This is the moment we need Brendan to have. A moment of pure instinct. A moment of inspiration that trumps all the self-doubt, caution, and fear. Come on Brendan, you can do it.

Meanwhile Igor thinks he knows the reason and it would save Brendan having to watch the box set

It's virtually impossible for us to compete financially with the 2 manc club and Chelsea and not really even Arsenal.

Gahahahaahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahaahahahhahahaahahahah
 
See that should be the major question fans ask of him.

Why spend so much money on players and judge next to none of them good enough for the first team in a game that mattered?
