Actually I agree with Le Chacal today. Torres WAS isolated. It's not simply a question of formation, but when your two wide forwards are as slow as Maxi and Kuyt, and positioned as far away from the striker, it ends up being a negative (or at least an ineffective) formation even if that's not the intention.

Yeah, but that's not what he was saying, he was saying the setup - playing a defensive midfielder and one upfront was negative, it wasn't. He was isolated because the wide men are slow and, today at least, were poor.
