#21 | Ferran Torres - 2020/21 Performances

I don’t see him as a singer. Would be better upfront in my opinion

Backing band didn't help him today.

 

[Mancityus]

I think he did well today considering getting a chance to start after a long time. It was a tough opposition and do not think introducing Foden changed that much.

 

[eversince 76]

As rusty as many others

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I defended him but think we need more effective wide player. More mobile + agile one. If good offers comes in, id consider it.

Nothing like giving a player a chance eh ?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Jesus, he’s 20 ffs. He’s clearly not in form, lacks condifence, never had a good run of games and had to settle down during a pandemic. Give him time

Sorry, but hes miles behind Sane in athleticism, agility and skill level, at the same age. Those are not going to magically improve by huge amounts.

We have definite downgrade here pretty much. I might sound very harsh but I think we just took the cheap option to replace Sane for some reason.

I’ll wait until the end of next season to really judge him. But so far he’s been meek.

 

[TonyM]

I thought he was excellent today. He was the only player brave enough to take on his man. I didnt see Foden as any better when he came on.

I'd have replaced Mahrez or KDB with Foden ... not that Mahrez was playing bad and his assist was great.

I’m 99% sure that in 2 years Torres will be the better player. Sane took very long time to settle, and was absolute dogshit for at least 40% of his games even after a couple seasons. Most inconsistent player in the Pep era by a mile.

Torres’ movement and finishing is top class. He need a little more time to settle and get in form. Cancelo, Bernardo and Rodri looked WAY better in their second season

I think it’s a little unfair. Practically any purchase was likely to be a downgrade on Sane. Despite what many like to believe on here, Sane was/is a genuine world-class talent. It would need a minor miracle for Torres to end up a better player than him. It doesn’t mean that with time and patience, Torres can’t become an effective player for us.

First year at a new club and country, he needs time, he’s very young.
