It'd be great if Torres scored the winner to shut everyone up.

Im really not worried about our team now to be honest, its got some real class about it in Torres, Gerrard, Meireles, Cole, its got some grit about it in Kuyt, Jovanovic, Skrtel, Konchesky and it has a few players who can hopefully become integral, or at least play the Ji Sung Park role of not being shit when called upon in Maxi, Poulsen, Babel. And although im a bit down on our youth emergence being as we never see any actually emerge, it has to be said that in Pacheco, Ecclestone, Amoo, Sterling, Shelvey, Suso etc it really does look like we have a decent chance of breaking one or two of them through. We also have good centre backs and the best keeper in the world so its not any of that that worries me. Its the manager and his (so far) insistance on TWO holding midfielders. It reminds me of an Eddie izzard sketch where the nazis are advancing on Leningrad (echoing napolean who was defeated by the cold) -
*marching forwards*
'Ive got a better idea, ive got a better idea'
*retreating from the cold*
'Oh its the same idea the same idea'
Didnt work last year. Wont work this year.
Time to play some players who can play to give defenders more to do than kick torres for 90 minutes.
