no striker, regardless of how brilliant will be able to hurt teams if he isn't given decent service.

Yep. Besides which, Jamie Redknapp is an outspoken, brainless bellend.
Torres has only played a couple of games, he's looking sharper but as said, there's zero service behind him, so if he looks a bit fucked off, is it any wonder?
At the end of the day, he stayed and there's a long season ahead, I wish people would stop fucking scaremongering.

In his first couple of seasons he didn't have service either so I don't think that's such a good argument.
He had hunger and desire - and it's most definitely not been on show at present or at the tail end of Rafa's demise.

He had better service than he's getting now though, and to be fair, in his first season teams weren't wise to him, they are now. He'll score goals, but we need a much better midfield than the one we had out yesterday for that to happen. When he was scoring before we had a midfield containing the likes of Masher, Alonso, Riera, Yossi, who all would have been welcome ahead of the four out there against Birmingham.

* you have a six man outfield
* two of those 6 are creative non entities
* the two wide players of the 6 lack the pace or the skill to beat players and deliver good quality
* one of those six outfield players has to drop deep to even get a sniff of the ball
leaving on outfield who is the only constant threat on the opposition goal.
so as a defender for the opposition, who do you mark?
this is why torres is getting fucked off and who can blame him?

Like us, I bet Torres saw yesterdays midfield and thought we haven't a fucking chance.
His attitude is very questionable, however, and this has been the case for far too long.
He's getting very primadonna on us.

Fuck me, it amazes me how many people fall for this media bullshit. Torres isn't sulking cos he's looking to move, he's simply nowhere near match fit & his confidence is understandably shot.
It'll be 5/6 games before we see the real Torres back, but he'll be banging them in again.

I keep telling myself he's just frustrated by his own form and the team's, that he still loves the club and wants to do his best for us, and that when he gets his form and confidence back, he'll once again play like he did in his first season for us.

I'd fully agree, Jon, had he not looked so sharp for Spain the other week.

And since then he's played a full 90 minutes & flown halfway round the world & back. That's tiring whether you play or not.

we can only hope jamie gets it right with regards to who played in the liverpool midfield against manu last season if asked. poor old jamie, 'xabi pulling strings in the liverpool midfield'. indeed, jamie? ha ha that was classic.
Shut up Redknapp, like Collymore trying to carve a name out for himself in the media by outspoken, Torres needs time I think and a fcking midfield for starters.
Against an organised premiership team, one world class striker can't do it all.
Rednknapp would be better sending naughty pics of his wife and doing WII ads then punditry, classless Chelsea loving knob.

I rarely agree with Redknapp, but he's right on this occasion, and like Squiggs said, Torres seemed fine whilst he was playing for Spain.

As someone said, it was against Liechtenstein, with the likes of Xavi, Xabi & Iniesta feeding him, not Lucas, Jovanovic and Poulsen so lets be a fair to him.
