The Myth.

Held my tongue for a long time and after reading a load of crap on this site have to say you're being ridiculous. The myth behind 'Torres hides behinds defenders' is one of the worst things i've read in my life.

You're all refferring to the fact that Torres is always on the right of the two defenders and think he's hiding there, but that's his position.

Opposition's team marked as X, Torres is the Little f:

-------------X
X-----X---------X---ft----X

That's the position that is 'hiding' behind defenders. That's where this myth has originiated from with people think he's hiding there.

Pause at 0.03, and look at where Torres is.

Now. Torres is there for us all the time but HOW MANY times does he get that ball played to him? He calls for it and holds his position but it's played across from left to right. Ash needs to play the ball over first time.

Also this goal, where is he? On the shoulder. When's the last time Lampard played a through ball?

All's good having creative players but they're no use if they're not on the same wavelength. In my eyes Hazard and Torres are. Mata and Torres are. When all 3 play together they cause problems. Throw in Oscar and i can't wait to see what all 3 can do.

When all 4 (Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Torres) Play together and Torres still doesn't score then judge. Until then be patient.
