Frank Lampard believes Fernando Torres will start to show his true colours now that he is off the mark.<\/p>\n

The \u00a350million striker finally broke his scoring duck for Chelsea on Saturday when he notched in a 3-0 victory over West Ham.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Spaniard had gone more than 15 hours without a goal for club and country prior to that strike, with an uncharacteristic drought rocking his confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sense of relief around Stamford Bridge when he netted against the Hammers was almost tangible, with his jubilant team-mates as pleased to see Torres on target as the Blues’ expectant fan base.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was always going to be a matter of time and I think now you’re going to see him fly, whether it be the last few games of this season or next season.”
Frank Lampard<\/em> Quotes of the week<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Lampard was among those to join in the celebrations and he is confident that Chelsea’s costly frontman will now shake off his shackles and justify his hefty price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top quality<\/span><\/h4>\n

“A world-class striker comes with a massive price tag,” said Lampard, who opened the scoring against the Hammers.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You can’t change quality and you can’t change a world-class player. We’ve seen it with him in his career and nothing changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s a quiet lad, he’s not opened his mouth. If he’s been on the bench, he’s come on and not said anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was always going to be a matter of time and I think now you’re going to see him fly, whether it be the last few games of this season or next season.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Torres’ long-awaited effort helped to keep Chelsea’s title hopes alive, with the club six points adrift of league leaders Manchester United with four games of the season remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

Driving seat<\/span><\/h5>\n

It would be some achievement for the Blues to pip the Red Devils to the post, but Lampard believes anything is still possible – especially as Carlo Ancelotti’s still have to go to Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: “We can only win the title if we win all our games and Manchester United drop points.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They’re in the driving seat and we can only do what we can do and that includes going to Manchester United.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ve got a huge game against Tottenham next week. If we can win that then Manchester United might slip up against Arsenal. Then we can do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’ve got to keep our heads straight and keep doing our own thing.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
