Liverpool v United

[david3103]

Torres is for sale -  £300,000,000 (ovno)

I've never seen a bloke who looks more like a girl than Torres.

He makes Boy George look butch.

Mr O'Dowd was on Wossie on Friday night - Jo Brand makes him look butch

oh and did you see University Challenge last week? The UCL Captain could make you rethink your first statement...

[sweet potata!]

Thought the Carragher foul was actually a foul on him

and ofcourse it wasnt a pen when he steamrolled into Carrick?

No.

I didn't think so either. Although I'd take issue with your view on the clash with Owen.Overall, Liverpool did exactly what I expected of them. They got at us in midfield and maintained the pressure throughout. Deserved to win

Is Torres for sale?

In live play i genuinely felt that it was a yellow card,Owen was going away from the goal imo plus it was in the 87min so i dont think it would have actually made much difference. Also surely Vidic should have got a straight Red for taking out Kuyt? I didnt see any Utd defender near there so if he drags Kuyt down when clean through how is that not a straight red and 3 match ban?

Vidic must be delighted he dosent have to face Torres every week.

Ps Camel  dont be like that, just admit the fact you're jealous of how Torres looks , you would prob kill to have hair like that!

It really weird.

When I see Torres play he never strikes me as a world class player.

I watch Messi, Ronaldo, Henry, Robinho, Rooney etc etc etc I cannot be failed to be impressed and think "wow" virtually every time I see them play.

I never get that feeling with Torres, yet his goalscoring record is just amazing and cannot be argued with.

(I understand this post is probably crap, but it's really believe it to be true)

The others you mentioned do a lot more than just score goals.  Torres is an exceptional goal scorer, but doesn't contribute as much aside from this (which isn't a bad thing necessarily for a striker).  Maybe that's why it's less striking (pardon the pun)?

Drogba never makes me think "wow".

More "ugh" or "ewww".

[sweet potata!]

Don't get me wrong , he's a complete douche alright but by god he's one helluva player imo. He has ripped Liverpool and Carra to shreds umpteen times.

[kinboshi]

Drogba is a magnificently talented player - one of the best in the world.  However, his talent is offset by his antics and his attitude at times.

This, i don't rate him at all

[Horneris]

ha, redic.

I don't want this to look like im disagreeing with Dave again for the sake of it, but Didier Drogba is absolutely brilliant.

IMO the 2nd best striker in the prem behind Torres and just ahead of Anelka and Abedayor.

Hes so strong and powerful and skillful aswell and not only is he 2nd top scorer in the premiership, hes also 2nd top in the assists league which is quite remarkable.

[Scottish Dave]

You can disagree if you want, most people disagree with my assessment of The Drog!

TBH i think the reason i hate him so much is cos he plays for the Scummiest team in football....Chelsea!

Thats and he is up his own ass!

I dont agree with this (obv) but I think I actually get what you're saying here. The same could have been said about Ruud Van Nistlerooy a few years ago. Both are in the ilk of awesome "world class" striker but are not necessarily stepover/dribbling gods which is what people generally associate with being world class as an attacking player. Eto'o is another that comes to mind in this mould who for me is undoubtedly world class although rarely recognised as such.

The one I would disagree with from your list above is Rooney. He's improving massively this season though.

Agree - probably offers more as a striker, beyond just scoring goals, than any other premiership front man. An absolute nightmare to defend against. He didn't really come into his own until his late twenties and I think Adebayor will be better at the same age but to not rate Drogba is ridiculous.

Best big man up top since Shearer.

[George2Loose]

Pls buy a striker Fergie- Owen just doesn't cut it.

[sweet potata!]

Baron i must say that it's a tiny bit of an insult to Torres to  put him in the same ilk as Van Nistelrooy, imo Van's link up play was poor , not much pace about him and barely ever scored a goal that wasnt a pen or a tap in and even made ManU play poorly because of his donking around. Obv he was lethal though and fair play to him for his amount of goals, i just think he has just got the one trick and dosent add much to a team apart from the goals. I'm sure you know Torres can score allsorts of goals and has pace to burn and he can dribble past players at ease. So i guess what I'm saying is Torres is far better than Van Nistelrooy and you did him a disservice by making that comparison.
