My only mistake has been not to make him my Captain.

Rebel you forget to add "est" onto the end of great in the title.
34 games at Anfield, 33 goals.
64 league games, 46 goals.
That is simply phenomenal. It's impossible to put into words just how good he is. Unless by saying that he's better than everyone else that's ever been at the club covers it.

i look forward to him scoring some trophy winning goals, though.
he needs to get 4 against chelsea to be the fastest to 50 EVER in the premiership (current andy cole).
I'm so relieved. I was seriously worried about him earlier this season - thought maybe the hamstring was bothering him, or he didn't like the city any more, or he'd fallen out with Gerrard... and then he goes and does that.
Fucking ace.
Fucking ace.

I feel a little bit guilty saying it because during my formative years I idolised Fowler who was in his pomp. Realistically though Torres is better isn't he ?

I think Torres has more to his game than Fowler, and looks like his career will last longer hopefully. It's Fowler's attitude and him being a local lad ontop of his ability that made him the legend that he is.

I think it's also the fact that he was never really an athlete - just a shortish, slowish, pasty-faced lad who could find the inside netting from almost anywhere.

Rafa Benitez claims Liverpool fans have yet to see the best of Fernando Torres despite his sensational hat-trick in the 6-1 victory over Hull City on Saturday.
The Spain international all but secured the points against Phil Brown's men before Steven Gerrard and Ryan Babel (2) added their names to the scoresheet.
Torres now has eight goals from seven games this term, yet Benitez is adamant that he has yet to reach his full potential.
"He can do even better," said the boss. "In the last three games he's been really good. He's improving and his mentality, workrate and movements show his ability.
"Still I think he can do better. The main thing is the mentality of the player. I always say the same: he's keen to learn and that's the main thing. That means he will improve. How much depends on him.
"£20 million is a massive figure for us, so we knew he was good. But the main thing when we decided to bring him here apart from his quality was the potential, his age and the future he had. So, we are very pleased now but he can still improve."
The 6-1 thrashing of Hull contrasts sharply with a frustrating 2-2 in the corresponding fixture last term.
Yet Benitez insists he has not changed his system in a bid to quash damaging home draws.
He said: "We are not changing anything. Here, if you look at the team, it was more or less the same. It depends on the movement of the players. The system is more or less the same.
"Maybe we have more accuracy this year. If you look at the statistics we're having more shots on target this year and we are scoring more goals.
"We were playing with a lot of confidence here and creating a lot of chances. At the end we could change players, give players a rest and think about the next game.
"Six goals is fantastic but it could have been even better because we had some chances. That's another positive - the mentality of the team going forward, winning the game and still trying to score more."
Liverpool are now just three points behind league leaders Chelsea following their 3-1 defeat at the JJB.
Benitez thinks this is more evidence that the Barclays Premier League title race will be hard to call this season.
"We talked about this before," said the Spaniard. "The top sides will lose games. You'll see more teams losing and there will be more competition at the top of the table. That's positive for the fans and for the press - because you can write more things every single day. It will be a funny year."
Liverpool meet Carlo Ancelotti's men at Stamford Bridge next weekend on the back of six straight wins.
Benitez added: "It is important to win some games in a row, so confidence is high. But Chelsea are a strong team with quality, so it will be a very, very tough game."

Ha, quality.
BBC guy: "Your manager took you off with half an hour to go. Was that frustrating as you might have scored more goals?"
Fernando: "I think three is enough".

I may not have witnessed many of the greats over the years but I find it hard to believe any of them were more talented than Fernando Torres.

The Hull supporters all applauded Torres off the pitch when he was substituted.
I thought that showed a bit of class on their part.

I noticed that too, but why were they booing Carra at one point?
