Apart from the first part, this is a good post. I agree player confidence does play a big part in football. I've also said many times, his attitude has improved this season and he does look hungry to score. He has good players around him now in Sturridge, Mata, Miereles & even Lampard. The point I've been trying to make here is, if Torres fails to shine, we do have reinforcements in such positions, like you've said. Anelka, Sturridge & Lukaku are all ready to fill in.
