Sure, Liverpool have a scoring problem these days for Stoke have scored more than Liverpool.
Stoke? Funny but it's true.
I got a funny feeling these days, whenever Torres is paired with Keane. Dunno...but it seems Torres is not his usual deadly self when playing with Keano. Just look at Stoke game the other day, how on earth could he missed those chances. A header and a loose ball all ended in the terrace.
I bet last year that would end up in the net.
Last year, he was a focal point in our attack ably supported by Gerrard. Between them, they scored countless goals. He even end up as highest ever foreign goalscorer in a debut season eclipsing Ruud Van Nistelrooy's record of 23 goals. Fast forward to this ongoing season, only 1 goal in all competition.
2nd season syndrome? or defenders getting wiser?
Certainly he is not a 1 season wonder, is he? No, he is not. 100%.
I like to believe that lack of pre season and injuries got the better of him for now.
And that partnership with Keane? The logical explanation would be that Keane arrived late, so close to transfer deadline to foster a deadly understanding with Torres. Yes, this was apparent in all the games they both played together thus far.
OK, Keane is a prolific player in his own right. The stats at Spurs was amazing and that's the reason Rafa parted company with huge money to get him.
We, the loyal fan, of course never expected this dry run. Tried hard he was but the goal isn't coming. Seems luck is deserting him and also Torres.
So when is he going to break the duck?

It is perfectly normal for a striker who had a successful season to suffer a dip in form the subsequent season. Following the high of winning the Euros, Torres finds it difficult to stay focused. He's human after all. It's a matter of rediscovering his touch and confidence, after that it's back to cruise control. But I must say when he joined the Reds, I had my doubts. I did not rate him that highly because to me he was a mere pretty boy, very much like the days when liverpool had those spice boys generation. But I was proven wrong.
