I would happily hit Torres in the nose before every game if that helps his game

Well done Nando, you put in a shift today lad.

His best game of 2013 

If ever a game summed up his time here.  Started slow, looked good, gets kicked in the face, looks good again, misses a pen, looks despondent 

Good overall performance today, scored the winner. Happy with it.

How did he look despondant after his pen miss? 

I was like "Torres is back!" when he scored.

 

And when he missed the pen "Aaaannnd he's gone..."

That's as well as 'current Torres' can play. His limitations are still there, but he looked a menace after the goal. Shame the pen didn't go in.

@Mad_Mac

 

He didn't look dispondant, he got on with it and did brilliantly to set a chance for Benayoun.

 

@onebelo

 

Laughing at someone you should be supporting, it's really pathetic.

 

I'm just confused, the guy looks so bad at times then put's in a fantastic 30 minutes of football like that. His blood was boiling when he was caught in the face, why does it take something like that to get the man going ? damn it's frustrating.

Well done Nando.....He wanted to do well....Thanks for the QF spot

He had a good end to the match. Well done

Maybe 'Nando needs a boot in the face before every match?

Any volunteers?

he is back, next season he will prove that.

@BelgradeCFC I can't tell if Sarcasm or serious?

The penalty spot looked a bit dodgy.

Good on the lad, actually made some solid contributions. Well done Nando

The penalty spot looked a bit dodgy.

Even when he plays well the excuses keep coming.

I'll give him credit for scoring some important goals atleast. While I'm really happy that we are finally getting some winners mentality going, I also though about how much easier Torres will be to sell after he scored. The fact that he is alot less likely to feature in PL when we are still in EL gives me joy.

Credit where it's due for 20 minutes he was every bit the striker we dream he could be.

More performances like that and you won't be playing in the Middle East next year, Nando.

He is a changed man when he gets angry. I remember earlier this season against newcastle it was the same and in the liverpool home game but he didn't get a goal that game. Get him fired up and he is still a top player. 

Wtf has happened to this forum?

Ah God luv him. Enough mental material in that 90 minutes to keep a Psychiatrist's Convention busy for a year. And certainly enough to generate another 245 pages in this thread.

 

It was business as usual, (ergo, completely anonymous), until he scored. Then the goal, the dive, the nose bleed, the missed pen, the tissue up the snchoz, looking to the heavens, why me?, the changed shirts, the angry head. No-one likes me, No, they love me?

 

It was a drama like you've never seen before wasn't it? You feel for him don't you? Draining isn't it?

 

Should we think, "at last, he scores a goal that means something"? Or, simply, "at last he scores a goal"? What would a a good psychiatrist say?

 

Anyone notice how much the TV commentators made of it. Anyone think most of the media would love us to have Fernando running out wearing the no:9 shirt for us for years to come?

 

Me, I'm just gonna kick back and enjoy this thread over the next few days reading posts like the one above. Who knows. Perhaps he's back.

He looked despondent in that he'd just missed a penalty.

 

Certainly he picked himself back up, but he wasn't exactly thrilled about missing.

I'm still surprised he managed to trick his way past 3 players without losing the ball.

@Bluehatter, i blame all the Liverpool fans invading the forum of late, i think the forum caught their diseases
