Fernando Torres

Very good game from Nando. His rise in confidence is reflected in his accurate shots. Whereas before he couldn't head on target, or dream of a crisp volley, both things are coming to him instinctively now.

He's showed, unlike many of us, he's over "that miss" and for him, now, it's about consistency. He's facing 3 games out now, in domestic games, so it's a good chance for him to stay fresh and healthy.

DB does seem to have a soft spot for Torres as do most of the Spanish NT. Hope to see him play against Scotland at least especially considering Spain has already qualified. Hope to see him get some playing time for his match fitness. October 19 is a long way off.

Was surprised Soldado wasn't called up based on his season form. Comparing the two strikers Wed night:

First half: Torres had that bad touch/poss penalty then was getting pushed around the rest of the half. Subdued half. Soldado's name wasn't mentioned much at all.

Second half: Torres had two quick shots on goal saved by Valdes Alves who had a crazy good (for him) match. Soldado had a header miss the other way. Soldado did score on a PK. Even if Chelsea had a PK, Torres would probably not take it.

I thought Torres had a better game than Soldado but it's not like either was a 9 or 10 match rating either.

You mean Alves. If Valdes saved against Torres on Wednesday, you know Fernando is having some bad motherf...luck...
