Fernando Torres set for Liverpool return in Steven Gerrard’s farewell match


Fernando Torres could be in for a mixed reception after his controversial exit from Anfield in 2011…
Fernando Torres will pull on a Liverpool shirt one last time as he takes part in a farewell match for long-serving Reds skipper Steven Gerrard at Anfield later this year.

The match, which will take place on March 29, 2015, will also feature several other of Gerrard’s former teammates, including Luis Suarez, Javier Mascherano, Pepe Reina and Xabi Alonso.
Gerrard will end his near three-decade association with us at the end of the season when his contract expires, with the 34-year-old set to join MLS giants LA Galaxy on an 18-month deal.
Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea in January 2011, but struggled to adapt to life at Stamford Bridge, eventually leaving for AC Milan at the start of this season. Less than six months later he was on the move again, and is now back with boyhood club Atletico Madrid.

Aww Gerrard must want to give his mates a proper chance to say goodbye to the fans. The deluded fool has read one too many fairytales to his daughters.

 

[gkmacca]

March??? He deserves all the bells and whistles he wants, but not during a busy season. Concentrate on the matches that count!

Doesn't matter if the team is made up of all ex-reds.

 

[cloggypop]

Torres is gonna be pissed off when he finds out he is playing for the opposition and Agger starts for us.

 

[Skullflower]

This is fucking weird

 

[darkstarexodus]

I hope Torres gets a good reception on this one occasion only. Can go back to putting him on blast after the game.

 

[Judge Jules]

Agreed. It's Stevie's day (though I agree with macca that the timing seems odd). If Stevie wants Torres there, there shouldn't be a crowd reaction.

 

[Skullflower]

They'll be better than our actual team

 

[FoxForceFive]

Hahaha. Sad but true.

Owen got a respectful (if very quiet) reception at Carras testimonial. I think Torres will get the same treatment

Aye - I thought that. It's sandwitched between Utd at home on the 22nd and The Gooners away on the 4th. Must be an international week or something. It's not as bad as it could be I think.

 

[gene hughes]

It would make me even less inclined to go, if that was an option.

He had his testimonial a while back, the great twerp. He shouldn't be greedy. This whole year is turning into 'Goodbye Gerrard'.

Which is obviously exactly what he's after

Carragher retired with a lot more grace

 

[Dreambeliever]

Fowler, Torres, Suarez with Xabi and Gerrard behind and Masher protecting the back four!

The should be a helluva lot of singing that match. The amount of possible songs is just boss.

 

[rubans]

John Terry included, hmmm....

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Player recruitment is well underway, and players confirmed include Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Xabi Alonso, Thierry Henry, John Terry and Didier Drogba, to name a few.
