Can't be ar'sed to list all the reasons "why" he might appear to be a shadow of his former self, I'm sure we all have our opinion on that, however what is abundantly clear to me is that given his performances so far this season Torres has managed to reduce his pre world cup valuation from the £60 - £70 million mark to at most half of that figure.
So far this season it does appear that he's no longer in love with or has belief in us and we may come to regret that our love for and belief in the fella has perhaps stopped the board from accepting the top whack kind of money for Torres when it was still available.
don't agree mate,you know as well as anyone who have watched the team over the years that every- & i mean every quality striker LFC have had suffers a dip in form,or goes a few games without scoring. it happens- has that meant that they have fallen out of love with the club or can't be arssed -no fecking chance,no way!
i can remember lots of top quality strikers wev'e had that went through lean spells,but like torres they were always available in or around the box to miss those chances! an that was in the days of religiously playing 4-4-2. so two strikers to feed an two strikers to miss chances, when you play up front on your own an chances aren't created for you as much as should be then that puts even bigger pressure on you.
this season so far torres has had so little decent service,it's criminal- so much so that he has found himself chasing back to the half way line an beyond just to get involved in the play,let alone get time an space for himself to be a danger to the oppo & get in a goal scoring opportunity.
for me, it's frustaiting to watch such lack of support,awarness an lack of quality ball played to him to achieve what we all know will happen as an end result -the ball in the back of the net, let alone what it must be like for the man himself!
the likes of torres don't become bad strikers overnight,an he will continue for me to be our best striker this club has had for years an years to come! ffs don't even mention a valuation or even what we might get for him during a so called bad run- we sell him an we really,really would be in major trouble!
