I was showing recent form in the latest clubs. Falcao in the last year has 40 odd goals, more than twice what fernando has in the last 3 years Just for you: At atletico IN THE EASIEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD: 214 appearances and 82 goals. 142 appearances 81 goals at liverpool. 91 appearances 22 goals with us. so that is 447 appearances 185 goals. Not close to Falcao or messi. However his record looks a hell of a lot better than his stats with us. How useful is someones record if it was from 3 years ago. There has to be a limit. Thats why stats are different in the eyes of whoever is reading it. You will say he has scored 5 goals in 4 games or whatever it is.. Which is great. Someone else will say 22 in 91 etc. You have to look at how he performed and you have to be the biggest torres fan in the world to not notice there is a difference from now to when he was at his best. Of course he has been better than usual in recent games but nowhere close to his days where he would rip us apart with ease. Hopefully he goes on a goalscoring tear and that record will be 110 appearances 55 goals, and i would be extrememly happy for that as it is extrememly beneficial to the team. But looking at falcao, messi's stats shows a huge divide. And more importantly looking at their performances does so also. Furthermore, scoring vs deportivo may not make you world class but doing this does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SLJx4xWCi-k And i am in no way gonna even bother getting an example of messi's class as that is not even close to being a debate ever.
