Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm not even going to open it... fucking daily mirror Tortilla9 and LDN Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Why is the Mirror so hard up on Torres? Seriously, they hardly go a day without writing something negative about him. And it's not just dedicated articles about him either. Even the most minor reference to him is laced with venom. I'm convinced he won't give them the time of day and the Mirror pays him back in spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I told you he probably called Lipton a puta and got Lipton's panties in a bunch. I doubt Torres did that but 1) it would be funny to see Lipton's face and 2) at least it would explain the personal hard-on that rag has for him. Otherwise it just seems like a scouse induced vendetta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCFC 357 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 No goal, but a MOTM performance. Great play throughout - shame Kalou and Malouda let him down.See what I said about the positivity of his memory loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think that MotM award was for effort to be honest, Alex was better But definitely saw shades of his old self, but he has to do this consistently. He's made a case for a starting role v. West Brom.. If he keeps playing like he did today, goals will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Created for others and himself. Saw a few times when he tried the old one two and never got the two. You could see he was frustrated. The positive today was that he didn't drop his head and kept working hard. Lovely to see Torres play well, he still has it. But he can't score from deep and wide and without help. Aside from signing creativity, I hope AVB works on things with the team to get the ball to Torres in actual goal scoring positions. My gripe with Carlo was that it seemed like he could see the problem but just left Torres to hang out there and it was a confidence killer. AVB actually left him on for nearly 90 minutes rather than yanking him early. Remember Tottenham? Torres was playing well but no goal, so Carlo pulled him early. eldo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 And why is AVB so relunctant to play Yossi with Nando? I don't get it. It seems like the most obvious combination. Yet it's always Lampard, whom I think plays a game that is totally incompatible with Nando's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Lampard played smart, his delivery was poor, but he had the right things in his mind. I liked that he played directly upfield when having drawn opposition on them... it was clearly AVB's instruction to provoke the opposition and then play a direct ball up front once they have more room (like he said in his interview about playing against ultra-low block, which Stoke were). In last season we would have passed it back and played ourselves into stale position until the only option was to hoof one long. Unfortunately we didn't do that enough and Lamps seemed the be the only one who at least tried (in 1st half). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 His first half at Rangers was also very good so i reckon he genuinely is feeling more like his old self again. Really hope he doesn't get injured again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
