"Fernando Torres"

Some of the best moments of "Fernando Torres" (there is reason why I put the quote)


(This is the "Fernando Torres" i knew...)

Torres obviously excelled better under Rafael Benitez (oh god I kinda missed him now despite his dictatorship style of management and stubbornness on deploying 2 holding midfielders' formation) than under Roy Hodgson.

A semi-fit Torres still can bang in goals for Liverpool under Benitez, but a semi-fit Torres under Roy Hodgson is no different than a misfiring goal-shy striker, due to the formation and playstyle of RH that play so deep (hello this is not FULHAM that you are managing!), creating a gap between the midfielders and Fernando Torres, preventing him getting any supports for build ups in attacking. Lucas + Poulsen combination is a DISASTER!

If you did finish the video, a chunk of assists were derived from Arbeloa, who was shipped out to Real Madrid for a cheap skate 4 million Euros ONLY. He is classy and great in that position. What on earth is Benitez thinking, shipping both Alonso and Arbeloa to Real Madrid and bringing in Aquilani (injured most of the season) and Johnson (who played well only for the first quarter of last season and playing like sh*t this season despite being a regular).

Wonder how Liverpool will be doing if Alonso and Arbeloa are still there in the 2009-2010 season...
