Fernando Torres bemoans Chelsea goal drought

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has admitted that it is "difficult" to understand how he has yet to start firing for the Blues after a year at the club.

The former Liverpool frontman has found the net just three times in a Chelsea shirt and is currently on a 19-game goal drought at Stamford Bridge.

"To be honest, after one year I was expecting things would be better than they are now," Torres told ESPN. "It is a difficult situation because I am happy in my personal life. We really like the club and we're very happy here to be involved with the staff and the players.

"On the pitch, it is a difficult time for Chelsea because we are not finding the results, but we're changing things like playing a different style and still we have a young team to do it.

"Personally, I have to improve. In my time at Liverpool there were games where I would not be playing well or I would be doing nothing but every time I touched the ball, I scored."

The 27-year-old has claimed that he can't fathom how he's not scoring despite being fully fit.

"It's such a strange feeling now because I am feeling better than ever physically," he added. "I am not finding the chances and when I do find the chances, I cannot score."

The Spaniard is expected to start for the Blues when they take on Birmingham City in the fifth round of the FA Cup tomorrow.
