El Niño - Fernando José Torres Sanz

Yah same I ranked Villa ahead of Torres always but my list was just EPL strikers

haha ayt, i actually did rank Villa ahead of Drogba even lol

On form here is how i rank them:

1. Drogba
2. Villa
3. Torres

Drogba for me is the best striker out of all of them. He can score, create, and defend; the most complete striker in the last ten years. Drogba is a big game player always shows up when needed.

Lucio said it best when he described Drogba as the toughest player he has ever played against.

Speed, Strengh, and blend it with super technical skills.

The biggest difference between Torres and Drogba is that Torres depends way too much on services, because he doesn't get involved in the build up if the services are not there he becomes invisible and loses confidence.

AVB knows this and if you notice in preseason Torres has been getting more involved in the build up and created some chances, including the one for Sturridge against Rangers. This way Torres will maintain high confidence because he is more involved in the game and is not focused on one aspect of the game.

Many managers might have solved the Torres issue by playing to his style, but AVB is making him change his style to fit the team. This is the Falcao treatment that Boas promised us.

I don't think Torres is past it, but far from it i think the best is yet to come.

Villa has been mediocre, not a top 5 striker, since he left Valencia to become Messi's bitch.

He sacrificed indiviudal success for team success,but yeah i agree he is not top 5 striker anymore. But he still a very good player.

Well yeah Villa went down when he came to Barca.. I loved Villa in Valencia. Villa and Silva were awesome to watch... TBH i rate Villa higher than Drogba when on top form.. Villa was capable of creating chances himself as well... but well.. then again.. Drogba and Villa were both class.

Torres suffered a concussion yesterday playing for spain...will he miss any time?

so is he actually concussed or was this like lampards sore throat?

No it was an actual concussion.

Always. Injured. When. Playing. For. Spain.

Damn it.. he was slowly getting back IMO

Torres is fit to play against Soke.

Stoke needs DROGBA muscles!

He was back to his best on sunday, a joy to watch.

I would say close to his best... but yeah good to see!

So last night:
. Movement was good, wanted to get on the ball and to do things
. Very well taken goal
. At one point in the game when there was nothing on, he ripped jones and went for goal getting a nice shot off during the process
. Made a great run off of ramieres's ball and ripped de gea
. Shocking miss, but hey these sort of things happen and after what I saw tonight I don't really care and hope he can handle the media grilling, all I hope is that he keeps his head high and continues on playing like he did tonight, hopefully Swans can help his confidence

Overall loved watching him play, was close to the best player on the pitch in my books and was as livley as ever. If we have "this" Torres performing for us we will rape United at SB I have no doubt about that.

Was a good match, I hope he keeps it up, untill he does my position about him does not change though.

Excellent piece on the unlocking of Torres: link here

He is back.. I was watching the match with a Pool fan and he said it, Nando is back!
