Fernando Torres attributes lack of goals to being new to Chelsea's style of play

Fernando Torres insists it was always going to take him time to settle at Chelsea as his search for his first goal for the club continues.

Torres once again drew a blank in Tuesday night's dramatic Premier League win over Manchester United and has now gone four games without scoring since his record-breaking 50 million pound move from Liverpool.

After missing a hatful of chances in his previous two matches against Fulham and FC Copenhagen, the striker did not see much of the ball in front of goal against the Red Devils.

Despite his travails, the 26-year-old appears unflustered by his current drought and confident the goals will flow once he adjusts to the Blues' style of play.

"It's important to understand the style of football your team is playing, how you are involved in the system and everything," Torres told Chelsea magazine.

"This always takes some time. But, I think, once you get it, everything becomes much easier," he added.

Torres insists he never doubted he would be a success at Chelsea when he decided to leave Liverpool. "I think when you make a decision this important you must be sure you can do it, otherwise it's not worth moving to a club like Chelsea," he said.

"You have to have confidence in yourself and you have to work harder than everyone else because you are the new player to arrive at the club. I have confidence in myself, I have confidence in this team," he added.
