KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum How many of you want Torres?

Lets be honest since the knee operation Torres has never been the same, even aginst Chelsea when he showed his class again, the skill and touch for the majority of the game still wasn't there. In all the games hes had where once he'd glide on the pitch and beat a few ppl and win a throw or shoot on goal, now he's losing the ball under his feet, his passing is off and otuch is not as crisp as it used to be, also his pace seems to have gone a bit from lightening to quick like what happend to Owen with the hamstring injury.

Me personaly I can't see him regaining that crisp sharp killer instict to his game, that got him so many goals in his first season. It's no longer a question of fitness because hes played half a season with no serious injury and since Benfica last season he hasn't been the same.

Bascialy Spurs sold keane and berbatov for about 50 mil and rebuilt there team before the transfer market got inflated. If we got 50 mil offer today from anyone would you sell?

the reason why he has been like this because he wants his boss sacked.

Sell him while he's worth money, get two new strikers. Then we can start getting trophies. Torres is a lost cause with a new manager or without.

If you was torres, wud you put in a hard shift week in week out, playing for RH, the loser and certain players on that pitch, shud never be on the same side as torres, never mind wearing the red shirt.

if torres was sold to city,arsenal, united, Chelsea, spurs, next month, he wud score 20 plus goals for any of those teams, by the end of the season...WHY.... because their managers no what they are doing, they play the game, the way it shud be played and players are played in their natural positions to get the best out of them, plus their are better players playing for these clubs, than their are at LFC at the moment

Who might those players be? and when did this team become torres. I thought it was Liverpool. I don't understand why you're defending someone whos playing poorly and if he is complaining about a manager and playing poorly cause of him cause he doesn't "like" him. Then he shouldn't be playing professional football, thats childish. Honestly, I wouldn't want that in my club, and i'm not trying to stick up for hodgson but nobody deserves that respect from anybody. It's a football team, you do what you're supposed to do, if he can score goals at another club, let him go and do that. But obviously, he is not doing it in this club.

Torres is young... selling him will not be good for business in the long run...

That obviously explains why he's our leading scorer and assist-getter in the EPL. But that's not good enough for you, right? So we should sell the wheat and eat the chaff? Maybe you should take a look at our general standard of play and our tactical "finesse" before you single out one player just because he's not performing to his standards.

There isn't a single player in this squad who can honestly say he's played well this season, so we must either sell the entire lot (which quite frankly is neither desirable nor necessary, though there are weaknesses that we can patch in the transfer window) or try to encourage them to perform better (motivate them, play them in position with tactics that suit them). If the manager can't motivate them, and can't choose appropriate tactics, then sack the manager and get someone who can, because he's a lot easier to replace than a top 6 quality side.

he has lost his passion with liverpool now

i agree with most people saying he isnt putting a shift in but the chances we are creating is nil hes always got his back to goal trying to recieve the ball, the main problem is we have no pace in the team we dont have a player that can beat anyone or go round them and put a ball in the box. if you look at last night we didnt create anything apart from rauls chance in the 1st half how can you get goals if you arnt getting the ball, yes he should work harder but he probably has the face on, with the dyer football we are playing and is waiting for his transfer in the summer to a club that wants trophies.

He needs a boot in the hole,he is starting to take the [oops] now,if a big enough offer came in 30 - 40 million,it would have to be considered.

Drop him for a game or two,show him he is not untouchable.
