hmmm i always thought Owen needed a few chances to score.......

I agree. I don't think I have ever seen or expected to see the words 'Owen' and 'clinical' in the same sentence.

The thing that distinguishes Torres from Owen and Fowler is that defences are really frightened of him when he has the ball...and that results in opportunities for the whole team.

Fowler in his prime plus Torres would be drool worthy...

What you talking about??!!

We had Collymore or well he makes out he was better than Torres

He was for 2 seconds on his debut against Sheff Wed i think....cracking goal that.

[rage]

At times he did, we all remember how he would have a barren run of 4-5 games without scoring, and then go on a ridiculous scoring streak of 8-9 goals in 4-5 matches. But in the 2002 season, surely you must remember how we'd go away from home, bore teams to death and hit them with one counter attack that Owen would invariably finish off?

Regardless, the point stands IMO that Torres is not yet as clinical as Owen was at his peak, but in time I'm sure he will be!

i remember the arsenal cup final as an example of that.
