Rafa today stated the Torres hadn't reached the peak of his performance at Chelsea. Benitez also went on to explain how the Pope was catholic and that bears preferred to defecate in the woods. Later in the press conference the Spaniard taught an elderly tea lady how to suck eggs and pointed out that LFC might've overspent on Carroll.
Well spotted Sherlock,no wonder roman got him in ,must have been to analyse the Torres situation because no one else was capable of it.
Well **** the bed! Torres not as good?! His form since leaving us couldnt havent worked out any better for us. Still makes me smile.
I'm not happy with the Pope after he said that there was no donkey at the birth of Jesus. Took him long enough to come to that conclusion and what has he gained from spoiling all those childhood memories of school nativities? If I want to sing that shepherds washed their socks whilst angels sang I'm going to - bugger him!! No I'm not happy with the Pope at all - trying to spoil Christmas!!!!
If JC came down for the second coming with the revelation that Torres isn't the player he used to be, even he would deserve a big
That's not actually what he said, though, was it? What he said was: "He's not exactly the same player now because he was at maximum level at that time [at Liverpool], "But I think he can come back. How close? I don't know. It depends on the rest of the team. I'm sure he can improve â but the team has to help him. The first thing is to give him some confidence, and instructions as to how he can do things in a different way, and improve him a little bit physically. "Each situation â each team â is different and the way you train, or the players you have, might change your approach. You maybe need something specific for each player. Fernando needs some exercises that we will try to introduce for him, but we will do the same for Oscar, the same for Ashley Cole and for [Frank] Lampard. "You can work on little things with every player. If we improve some players physically maybe they will come back to the strength they had. Fernando had real pace. It's not because he's getting older or injuries. He has to train in a way that suits him. We will try to find this way. We will also work on the movement he needs to do, and that will take some time. "We worked with him and Oscar in training to try and find this understanding. It's a question of time, but we know we have to change the movements he's doing out on the pitch. He also has to work in the gym on strength. Maybe he needs to do that again. "If, afterwards, he's not scoring I will analyse why and we will continue, but we are trying to improve every single player." So your post doesn't really make any sense.
Torres wasn't at that initial level for the last 12 months or so at Liverpool even, let alone since the move. Rafa has to say stuff like this really. If he said he was finished that would hardly help the lad and he'd look a right mug if he said he was the same player that landed at Liverpool 5 years ago. Biggest winners in all this, Newcastle who got 35 million of the Torres sale for the caravan boy. How can them Geordies sleep at night!! Can we return Torres under the faulty goods act??
