On the Torres argument - The problem is not chances or finishing .Even at Liverpool he so many times created his own chances and scored the half ones .Imo the confidence is not there mainly because of the change of pace which has diminished .Earlier his change of pace reminded me of Henry including that debut goal against Chelsea.I read somewhere that in Spain the feeling is that Torres has played too much football since he was just 17 and that has had a toll on his body .Even this season he has to play every game,he might do better with some rest .

We all forget that in Liverpool he had a primed Steven Gerrard and a primed Xabi Alonso behind him and maybe that is why he was made to look better than he was .Infact his best club form was not with Atletico but with us

Valid point azaan.So will we ever see the torres we love?

 

I can only love him if he plays for Liverpool again :P

 

Sadly no,injuries and his fatigued body means no change of pace return.

He is 28 now and I feel its about time that he has to adapt his game cause he will only lose pace as he grows older .It depends on how he adapts , if he can adapt like Giggs then he can still return to his heights .

I don't understand why people accuse united of buying referees. Agreed , we've got decisions our ways , a bit more than most teams have. But its not like we're proud of it. After people accusing Chicha's goal today of being offside , don't tell me you expected him to go and tell the referee that he was offside. Decisions go against everyone , United lost the title to Chelsea at Old Trafford on a clearly offside goal , United lost to Newcastle (to bad refereeing) in the previous seasons which screwed their title hopes. The only reason people accuse United of buying referees is that frankly , they can't really fault with Manchester United otherwise. Its a way of self consolidation by saying that "haa , united toh referee ko khareeda" its a bandwagon that every tom dick and harry jump on. The major problem here is of poor refereeing which is ruining the game. Everyone's so hell bent on proving each one's team the better , that they overlook the fact that its the referees to be blamed . And in this case , not United.

The people accusing United buying off referees deep down know that they aren't serious bro. You don't get worked up about it. But you gotta admit that the pressure on referees in a ManU game is more than others because of SAF's scathing remarks, and maybe, just maybe his clout with the FA.
