Fernando Torres
Fernando Torres is a Spanish international and currently a Liverpool striker. An extremely talented individual, Torres was tipped for greatness from the start of his playing career and he spent several years at Atletico Madrid (some of them as captain) before finally giving in to his dream of playing in the Champions League and moving to the Premier League. Born in 1984, Torres has achieved a lot in his short career and will undoubtedly go on to win many trophies in the future.
Gerrard & Torres? How about Yossi & Dirk?
It’s one of the most tiresome cliches in football these days, yet one that most in the public eye can unilaterally agree on. Liverpool, they say, are a team of two players. No argument. G&T, Stevie & Nando, Gerrard & Torres. Like the zonal marking debate, no conversation about Liverpool is complete without it. But…
Football at the Top: It’s a Dog’s Life
At first glance man’s best friend has little relevance to football. I mean let’s face it, if you’re sitting on the psychiatrists couch and he/she is doing that word association thing and comes up with the word dog are you likely to answer football (or vice versa)? I didn’t .. err.. I mean… I think…
Summer Transfer Frenzy: Are Strikers Worth Their Weight in Goals?
The summer transfer market just went off with a couple of high powered Exocet missiles from central Spain, leaving some of us thinking that nothing will ever be the same again. A seemingly obscene (vulgar even!) amount of money may be about to change hands with many of Europe’s top clubs in the market for…
Who should partner with Fernando Torres next season?
Rafa Benitez may have made some absurd comments this season, but Liverpool football club played some high quality football over (if not right through) the last 9 months. Be it shaking up the Madristas or drubbing the champions at their home, Stevie G and his troops sure had their moments. But what cost them most dearly,…
Liverpool’s Big Step Four-ward
18, 30, 37, 9, 21, 11. No, these aren’t the winning numbers for tonight’s National Lottery — they’re actually the gap between Liverpool and the winner of the league dating back to the 2002-03 campaign. It’s sobering to realise that whilst Liverpool are a world class club, they’ve never been closer than nine points in…
Learning from history: How Benitez must avoid the mistakes made by Houllier
My Grandad always used to say “The Runners Up in anything are just the first losers”. It is a notion that is unlikely to endear himself to the man who he refers to consistently as “Bennertez”, as Rafa Benitez wakes up today contemplating being the “first loser” of this season’s Premier League. But, clichés and…
Gerrard benefits from Benitez’s tactical eye
Steven Gerrard rarely likes watching games from the sidelines, but he was all smiles last night as he watched a Liverpool legends side featuring some of his boyhood heroes–Kenny Dalglish included–defeat an all-stars team managed by the unlikely duo of Ricky Tomlinson and Jamie Carragher, in the Hillsborough/Marina Dalglish Memorial Match at Anfield. Gerrard was…

The League may have gone for Liverpool, but what a way for it to go!
Football really is a fickle mistress isn’t it? Just when you think that the game has thrown up just about every conceivable high, every unimaginable low, and plenty in-between, it goes and pulls a fresh rabbit from the hat and leaves you wondering: a) why the hell you bother with the thing, and b) when…
Chelsea v Liverpool – Bravo!
Barcelona v Chelsea. The sentence no Liverpool fan wanted to hear this morning, even though most expected to. So the European season for Liverpool has ended prior to the semi final stage for only the second time in five seasons after last night’s incredible 4-4 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but the memories of…
