    What does he have to do to get on the pitch? Jose said he deserves a run of games after Southampton game. Since then, all he has done is play 45 minutes vs Villa.

    Nope, completely wrong mate. His workrate isn't all right. Far from it. Workrate only has meaning if it is productive, if it is directed to the role it is meant to be achieving.
     
    Example. I could go into work tomorrow and repaint all the doors and windows. Some colleagues might say; "Woah. he worked hard today. 6 hours non-stop to do all that painting"
     
    Then another might point out: "So f**king what! That's not his f**king job! He is Head of Accounts! He was supposed to be paying all our wages today!"

    I have absolutely no sympathy for Torres and I can't understand those who have a problem with the booing. He has got off very lightly over the last two years and clearly a sizeable section of the support now think enough is enough. You pay your money and you takes your choice. Those people booing are the paying punters, who sacrifice time and money to support their club. They are doing what they feel is right for Chelsea, and I happen to agree with them.
     
    Torres is a professional footballer, though you wouldn't know it. If you play as he has for as long as he has you can expect to get some stick. It goes with the territory. You take the accolades, you take the cash, you take the glory. There are a lot of benefits to being in the position he's in and he's had unwavering support since he joined. He's been given every chance. He can hardly complain.
     
    He wanted top billing, he made that clear. He didn't like the way we played, he made that clear. He moaned when we won in Munich. He showed dissent to Di Matteo on the rare occasions he was subbed, despite being a below-par performer. This boy needs humbling and I think the boos did the trick on Wednesday. I don't think he'll be moaning in the press anytime soon about how the club are letting him down and I don't think he'll be shaking his head when he gets subbed. Those days have gone. He will no longer be indulged. You're no longer the golden boy so stop acting like one. Get your head down and practice, because you are sh*t.
     
    If he had any humility he would have seen a head doctor long ago, because that's where the problem lies, in his head. He is scared to walk on a football field and has been since the day he joined, hence he hides. It is unforgivable. He takes home 175k a week. We should expect a return he should endeavour to provide a return. Go and see the head doctor and sort out your head. You owe it to Chelsea.
     
    Nothing has changed apart from the fan reaction. Torres has been sh*t since he joined and all the excuses have been found out. Suddenly the slow-coaches have all begun to realise. 
     
    He has continually said the truth will come out about his departure from Liverpool. The truth is Nando, we trebled your wages. That's the truth. You left the club get over it. Grow some f**king balls for f**k's sake stop trying to pander to the Liverpool masses. You can't leave them and expect them to love you. You have to be tough. You have to allow them to think what they want about you. You are our player now. We deserve more.
     
    Where's your f**king head?
     
    I've criticised him all along the line. I didn't like his attitude towards Di Matteo I hated his reaction in the penalty shoot-out in Munich I've hated his body language on the pitch and I've hated his performances. You need to be tough to play for Chelsea, you need to be very tough upstairs, in the head. He isn't and he's never addressed that. Ba arrives and talks about how Torres is the main man and how he has so much to learn from him. Can you imagine Torres saying the same thing about Ba? Can you imagine Torres having the humility to go up to Ba and ask for tips? The fans needed to make plain how the pecking order stands, and ultimately, I think it will do Torres some good. The facade that he is some kind of elite player is over. He needs to stop those fancy flicks when we're cruising. He needs to knuckle down and address his problems and try to get back to being competent.
     
    Stop pretending you're Juan Mata. You're not.
     
    To those that say the booing might dent his confidence, don't make me laugh. He is sh*t and nothing has worked for nearly two years. This might be the shot in the arm he needs. Maybe it will make him angry maybe it will motivate him. If he's got anything about him it will. It's up to him to fight. He's had it way too good for too long.
     
    When he walks into training now his status has been established. There is no more pretence and I think that's exactly what he needs. It's exactly what we all need. We need a Torres that has the humility to understand what a shocking performer he's been with us, and the problems all lie with him, nobody else.

    Lets break your post down.
     
    After Torres performance in the WBA game, Robbie CHOSE not to play with a striker in the Juve game after Sturridge became injured, no-one FORCED Robbie to do anything, he was the manager, he made his choices!
     
    The part where you state that Torres doesn't care about football & Chelsea in particular is just your opinion and has no basis for arguement.
     
    The Board DIDN'T get rid of Drogba, it was always fairly obvious that he was going to leave at the end of the 2011/2012 season and Drogba CHOSE to leave on a high note with his final kick of a ball in a Chelsea shirt having won the European Cup.
     
    Torres has had NOTHING to do with the sacking of any managers, again that is just pure SPECULATION on yours and others part.
     
    You also state that the OTHER blame lies with the board, 2 points here, first they were wrong to purchase Torres as he never fitted into our style of play, and it's obvious now that he was in decline, second once they had bought him is it not reasonable that they would do all they could to gain the maximum out of him, i.e bring in players to suit him?
     
    I hope this clears things up for you.

    I would like to know what they mean by last straw. Does it mean they will turn their backs on Chelsea ? if so then they would qualify as plastic fans backing off when things get tough.

    Falcao: The quality of the EPL is not in doubt. There is so much talk of Barcelona & Real Madrid but the Champions of Europe are in England.
