That was the most blatant foul by Kuyt. Can't believe it wasn't given.

whatawaster

Torreeeesssssss!!!!!

where would we be? He's coming into ominous form

Melion

Thank god, i can relax now.

That_Guy

All over. Well done Liverpool.

SlickRic

relief.

he looks pretty knackered.

let's call a spade a spade, this has been shocking since the second goal.

but fair play, job done.

Mops brow

Tusky

4 goals in 4 days and 17 for the season. What preparation for the United game. Torres will probably get 20+ goals this season which is especially impressive considering his injuries.

Mr Alan

excellent first half. not great last half hour. great result.

Stevecw

Nice one, thats a big relief!! Job well done overall i guess!

missingtime

Phew

Lucas man of the match!!

Kess73

Said it before and will say it again now. A world class player at one end to keep the goals out, and a world class player at the sharp end to knock them in.

Thank you Nando.

Legend, we'd be fcuked without you.

Now, roll on Sunday.

Assuming Torres plays the full 90 tonight and doesn't score again, his minutes per goal stat is 2072 mins played (just over 23 full games) 16 goals scored => one goal every 129 mins so far this season

Assuming a full 90 tonight and no more goals, he has scored 66 goals in 111 appearances for Liverpool.

He has played 8424 mins for Liverpool (the equivalent of just over 93 and a half games). He has scored an average of a goal every 127 mins on the pitch.

Knew I was tempting fate with this while Nando was still on the pitch.:D:D:D

no.

first half, quality.

second half he did a disappearing act.

Masch, Kuyt or even Carra for me.

....can't believe I forgot Nando!

mike65

Jebus Slick give it a rest.

copacetic

Nice win, performance was more important and building on the passing form and win on Monday night. Saw it in parts and could easily have had a few more. Happy enough. Left it a bit late for the 3rd. Lucas MOTM again for me.

keano_afc

From an Arsenal fan, more of the same on Sunday please Nando.

Delighted really - last 8 is looking fairly strong for the minor european competition Valencia -Liverpool - Standard Liege - Benfica - Fulham - Hamburg - Athletico Madrid - Wolfsburg/Rubin Kazan

A liverpool valencia final would be big by any standard.

Cue a thread derailment. don't dare suggest torres is better than villa, for they are lurking!

mayordenis

No thanks.

I love Valencia, I love Liverpool, don't want.

mike65

I'd prefer Fulham to be honest. That said Bobby Zamora is to be feared at any time.

ShamoBuc

Just glad to be in the draw to tell you the truth!

Don't forget Pepe and that save when it was 1-0 on the night.

There are no easy games in it, but Belgian teams aren't great, and we owe them a good kicking after making us sweat last season imo.

i'd say Torres goals per minutes is frightening this season.

Was the best in the league a few weeks ago IIRC.

They were posted on another forum when I googled goals/min ratio.

Can't find anything else concrete.

I suspect they might be league only stats

They are from the Premier League Fantasy Football game.

kryogen

Not if Rooney stays in form

He has been phenomenal the last few weeks especially and those stats are evidence of that

ShamoBuc

He certainly has but even with his injuries and stuttering team-mates Torres is up there with him.

Stevecw

Thats actually a higher quality last 8 than you would expect.
Out of whats there, I'd like Benfica or Liege. Want to avoid Fulham, as I 'd love to see them keep going. They were class tonight, and i rate Roy Hodgson so highly, that man have turned that club around big time.
If possible a Liverpool/Fulham final would be great!!!

Is the draw on tomorrow???

Look at this way. Rooney has been playing virtually non stop all season and is at optimum fitness. Torres has been in and out of the team all season and hasn't really reached match fitness for a prolonged period..

Both players have an extremely similar goal per minute ratio.

I am confident that Torres will finish the season with a better goal per minutes ratio if he plays for the rest of the season.

kryogen

if you look at Rooneys last 10 games though he has a much better GPM average

i dont imagine he can keep that up however, but he is hitting form at the right time

if you had to pick who the better finisher was pre season you would say Torres, so i would expect you would assume he would have a better GPM ratio anyway?

i would anyway

Mr Alan

if you look at Torres last two games he has a much higher goals per minute ratio (good to see the pre-match willy waving in full flow)

Yeah, Torres also has better lovely hair ratio than Rooney over the last 2 games.

Rooney scores once every 95 mins this year
Torres scores once every 98 mins this year

Considering torres has spent so much of his time on the pitch getting his fitness back after injury and Rooney is having the season of his life Torres's stats are very impressive

I actually burst out laughing when I read this.


Torres is beast, don't think many can deny he's one of the best forwards in the world.
