[Will]

Who was the defender who said somethign like 'apart from his hat-trick I thought I kept him quiet'?

 

Link?

[fred milne]

Duberry?

[Hassony]

Did he mean it as a joke or was he serious?

"At the end of the day, he scored three goals. Other than that, I kept him pretty quiet." Reading defender Michael Duberry on Fernando Torres.

[Montse]

"Fernando Torres...he kills defenders." Rafa Benitez after the Reading game, talking about his 'lethal' striker! (Dan, Wigan).

[Andy Mac]

I loved it on Tuesday when he was bringing the ball out of defence. He knocked the ball past their midfield player and then just left him for dead with his pace.

That was brilliant.

 

Could see he was tempted to knock if forward, then just thought "nah, i'll just skin him"!

Sheer class, hardly acknowledged the opponent's presence, more concerned on what options might be on

[floyd the barber]

that was the game where i felt this guy could seriously be the real buisness at liverpool.....a few had questions regarding how he would handle the rough defences in england and how he doesnt score enough easy chances..

 

THAT game was a massive learning experience....he was up against 2 awful center backs whose plan was basically to kick the s**** out of him...torres handled it brilliantly and of course got a hat trick.
