Victor Torp (6 Viewers)

Torp is in form and seems to have confidence. He has to.play

[Cally Fedora]

My problem is identifying what Torp is. Not a midfielder really. Not a forward. Can’t play wide, deep or central. Which pushes him into a very niche role. And he isn’t good enough to have a role carved out for him. For me he’s basically Kasey Palmer with a bit more consistency.

 

[KG7]

I see him and Rudoni as two 8s in a three who can form part of a defensive shape and then break / spread the play to push us up the field and then join the attack.

I think with this squad, this is would be our strongest system. 4-3-3 Sheaf or Eccles sitting and Rudoni and Torp as two 8s and drop the number 10.

 

[pusbccfc]

I hyped him up massively before the season but he is infuriating. Never seen a 'Number 10' so static. Zero movement. Doesn't carry the ball.

Like others in this side, there's clear talent there but he's offering very little.

Me too. He’s not cut out for the Champ and needs to go back to the Scandinavian leagues.

At the start of the season he seemed to have quality, but no clue what his strengths were.

lampard is really starting to mould him into a really decent midfieder

 

[shmmeee]

Not seen it at all with him until the last two, starting to play some really good balls. The cross first half and the ball for MvE for our second in particular today.

What a ridiculous post. Lampard is turning him into a Rolls Royce…

Lampard is working him out and we’re now seeing the best of him. Well done.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Been very critical of him but have to say he’s done very well recently. Played a serious amount of minutes and has shown some bite and tactical nous. Keep it up Sloth man.

 

[long way home]

Lot more to come from Torp always been good enough with the ball but it putting the work in to become more mobile and aggressive.

 

[fatso]

He's getting better and better, this formation suits Torp and Allen. Can't really say we've missed Sheaf that much, which proves how well the midfield have coped. We just need to add a little composure on the ball and retain possession better and we'll be flying up the league.

 

[Matt smith]

Tracked runners really well tonight

 

[Cally Fedora]

Still unsure. Some quality delivery and can certainly pick a pass and a cross. But they are flashes and moments rather than a performance. Still looks leaden footed in normal play. But he does have quality in delivery.

We haven’t missed Sheaf at all. Moving the ball so much quicker and hitting teams on the counter which suits the attacking players we have.

 

[ccfcricoh]

had a couple of great games, even if slightly under the radar.

It always looked like he had a good range of passing and could put a good ball in, but last couple of games really noticed his work rate increase and he is breaking up a lot of play...keep it up!

 

[Major Tom]

He's definately an intelligent player you can tell that by his passing and the way he can read a block. If he keeps working on his energy and strength he''ll turn out to be a very good player for us.

 

[Sbarcher]

Really rate him. Think he’s potentially the most intelligent and gifted players we have.

Was it Torps swing ball out to MVE following Kitchings run that led to the 2nd goal? Brilliant pass and purely instinctive. The awareness to know MVE was in space and that position before kitch played it to him as well.

I’m wondering if FL is instilling this to him - always scan space and anticipate where you need to pass the ball when you next get the ball. This on its own turns average midfielders into good ones

[Bertola]

Been impressed with the development in Torps defensive game in recent weeks.

Whisper it quietly, but we may have stumbled across a set-up that works for us

Bit harsh on MVE.

 

[edgy]

He has Lampard like attributes. I think he will become a regular starter.

Goals for Torp next.

Pretty good stats there

 

[SleepyGinger]

Torp and Rudoni as 2 8’s should be nailed on going forward

 

[Hobo]

I think Torp's fitness levels have improved, which is why we are seeing more consistency from him.
He has the ability to move the ball quickly, often first time, which is his real strength and our other midfielders lack apart from Rudoni.

 

[JSL]

I think the whole teams fitness levels have improved

Couldn't be that hard TBF whatever the guff we've been spun!

 

[Samo]

He's starting to become important for us, I'm pleased for him.

 

[SkyBluePower]

I think the whole teams fitness levels have improved

And no injuries since EMC despite the core team having to play a lot of football.

 

[SkyB]

What impressed me most about him yesterday was that he gave away 6/7 fouls in good areas when they were about to break. Such an underrated skill knowing when to give them away and doing so without picking up a booking.

[SBT]

Whoever is directing this level of performance should take some credit imo

Im willing to overlook the pass completion percentages if he is playing passes like that one to MVE last night.
