tbf, there is only one god

The Spanish superstar celebrated his 100th appearance for the Reds by netting his 61st goal in all competitions, and he is now just one strike shy of notching up the quickest league half-century in the club's history.
respect:

Fernando Torres' winning goal in Tuesday night's clash with Aston Villa saw him become the fastest Liverpool player ever to hit 50 league goals.

The Spanish marksman achieved the half century in just 72 appearances, a strike-rate that leaves him well clear of Sam Raybould and Albert Stubbins, both of whom reached the landmark after 80 matches.

Games it took the greats to hit 50:

72 Fernando Torres
80 Sam Raybould
80 Albert Stubbins
81 Roger Hunt
82 Jack Parkinson
83 John Aldridge
84 Ian Rush
88 Robbie Fowler
90 Gordon Hodgson
98 Harry Chambers
98 Kenny Dalglish

105 Ian St John
111 John Barnes

160 Berry Niewenhuys
162 Alf Hanson
167 Billy Liddell
175 Kevin Keegan

It's gonna take something very, very special to beat Torres' record - that will certainly stand for some time.

Even more impressive when you think he doesn't take pens or free kicks.

That's very true. Wouldn't mind seeing the lad taking a few free kicks to be honest.

What a player though. He was utter gash last night (well he had no service) but the second he got the ball down in that position then you just knew he was going to score. Lethal stuff

That's unreal. He's not just beaten the record he's completely and utterly shattered it.

50 in 72 is just ridiculous.

in my opinion, dorgba is the finished product. but torres isnt! hes still got bags of potential and lots of areas that he can improve in... and thats scary.
