Fernando Torres Beautiful Miss vs Manchester United + Reactions

I was listening to 5Live commentary on the way home from the Citeh match and thought that ManU had scored at first, such was the noise from the crowd.

I am sure this will figure on any "glaring misses" DVD compilation.

Can't be good for his already low confidence levels.

[The Equalizer]

Played 24, scored 1.

£50Million.

I honestly don't think this would have been such an easy goal to make. He was at full speed with the ball coming in fairly fast and the goalkeeper disrupted his run (so well done De Gea) so he had to dribble the goalkeeper.

Whilst a terrible miss, it does overshadow the fact he had an overall excellent match.

Looks like he might be turning a corner.

[Burt]

Looking at the highlights generally he did indeed have an excellent match in all respects. Apart from finishing, which is what he is there to do...

He could easily have had a hatrick.

Between us ladies I still think he is a class act, and at some stage it is all going to click, and he is going to make a massive (positive) impact for our neighbours.

I can see what you are saying Mr Sipwell but what puzzles me is that he does the hard work with his left foot (going round the keeper) but then completely fluffs it. Surely just bad luck.

Anyhow, can't see Chelski re-couping £50 million from Torres, shirt sales and merchandise included. If I were a young kid I would be want Aguero on the back of my shirt not Torres.

Torres in form just before our game against them on Wednesday?? Here comes a hat trick then no doubt!

Torres did look impressive - but that was a terrible miss. I am thinking he might be cursed.

[jarv]

No worries, Chris baird will keep him in check. :54:

[Jack Fulham]

Shocking miss but the guy looked pretty deadly nonetheless. Hope he doesn't start against us but then again, Chelsea have good strikers in abundance.

[Mitch]

Great reaction to it in the Lion. God knows why she had so many Chelsea fans in there on a Fulham day though.

I'm sorry Mr Sipwell but my Grannie could have scored that with her corsets on. It marred an otherwise promising display but when you pay a bloke 50 million, you expect him to tuck away a simple chance like that. Mind you, I dare say that all those who ever played the game have missed similar chances but then I doubt whether we earned what Torres earns.

[TonyGilroy]

He's like a golfer with the yips. Something that is nearly impossible to recover from because thinking makes it worse.

Just one thing Mr Hat they did not pay him 50 million they paid Liverpool and he did not dictate the price Liverpool did.

Mind you in saying that he does earn a few more pennies than you and me.

Sent Fernando Torres a nice tweet today to cheer him up, he hasn't replied though, probably missed it.

Fair point Mr Alfie although by the time his career has ended he will have earned about 50 million from transfer fees, wages, endorsements, appearances and so on but I take your point 092.gif

I hear he is one of the new mister men.......Mister sitter.
