Torres Terror

The darling of Liverpool, Fernando Torres is back to his old usual best. That's certain.

He's now joint top scorer in BPL, a position he shared with Wigan's Amr Zaki. A consecutive brace against Everton and Man City is a testament to this notion. Only bad luck and some questionable decisions from the men in black prevented him from grabbing a deserved hat tricks in both games.

He's back with a vengeance following summer exploits with Spain in Euro 2008.He's now terrorising opposing defenders with streak of clinical finishes, guile and importantly grit. You floor him, he'll get up and hellbent on putting one over them. Ruthless.

Spot any difference with Torres of old?
Yes, last season he hardly scores in away matches but this term all 5 goals had been notched on the travel, away from Anfield. Where he was largely subdued in away matches last term, he's now street smart, a saviour when the chips are down.

He's a willing learner, a fast one at that. Life is different in UK, chilly weather and incessant rain et al but did it matter to him? Nah...and that what is a legend in the making is all about.
A determined, focused, single minded assassin.

When will he open his Anfield account then?
