Fernando’s English Adventure

Fernando Torres was an absolute phenomenon. Fast, strong, good in the air, gifted with an expert technique, cool as **** in front of goal. He was a legend in the making. The first Liverpool player since Robbie Fowler to score more than twenty league goals in one season. The first player since Roger Hunt to score eight successive league goals at Anfield. The first player since Jack Balmer to score successive hat-tricks at Anfield. The fastest Liverpool player ever to score fifty league goals. A player held in such esteem he was supported more vocally by The Kop than two local legends in Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard. He was simply amazing. Then he signed for Chelsea.

The End.

people seem to be under the impression torres was **** for us in his final months, he was until kenny came in, but then he scored a few and looked to have his mojo back.
with that in mind, i was shocked he wanted to leave.

we'll never know now, but i'm convinced torres would've got back to somewhere near his best had he stayed with us - at least until the end of last season.

Couldn't agree more.

He is the kind of person who will turn around and say that it all started going wrong (his form) before he signed for Chelsea. But deep down he know the truth.

Is Torres sporting a bit of a belly in that picture?

He scored something like nine goals in 20 league games. 15 or 16 of those games were under Hodgson ffs.

Something I have to keep reminding people of. Didn't he score 2 against Wolves in his last game?

Didn't he score more goals for LFC than for Chelsea in 2011? and has scored more goals against Chelsea than for them?

Being outscored this season by.....

Martin Skrtel

To name just one.

yeah, and scored the opener at blackpool in the 2-1 defeat.

still couldn't have predicted such a fall from grace, so soon. pretty unbelievable really and rather sad in many ways - he could have been an lfc legend.

Even though he was scoring at that point, he still wasnt the same player that we had from 2007-2010.

He has only scored 3 league goals for them since signing 2 this season

A total of 5 goals in 32 starts since moving

Apparently he is lethal in training

obviously not. doesn't mean he couldn't have got back to somewhere near his best. the signs were there and he was scoring goals - that's the difference.

[Craig_H]

He was still capable of being a good goalscorer but he was nowhere near the peerless world beater of before.
