Good old Sir Matt Busby was watching.
Torres is quality and there is no shame in him scoring against us. He's going through a bad patch and some fickle pundits and fans are getting on his back. But looks at his all round play and you can see he is still a top player.I was already looking at the clock to see how much time was left before he took his shot. Some things are unmissable. That was unmissable. Impossibly, he missed it. By miles.
For that reason alone I've never experienced a worse miss live.
The worst thing about it all is that we actually allowed this clown to score a goal against us. The embarrassment is all ours.
Sure the miss was horrendously funny, and really bad for a player like him. But, he's clearly going through a quite bad patch. That goal will probably do him the world of good.I was already looking at the clock to see how much time was left before he took his shot. Some things are unmissable. That was unmissable.

That bad patch started in September...2010!Sure the miss was horrendously funny, and really bad for a player like him. But, he's clearly going through a quite bad patch. That goal will probably do him the world of good.
I wouldn't call him a clown, he's not a bad player.
Rooney was the same, he had a bad patch for months but eventually came good towards the end of the season.That bad patch started in September...2010!
Funny, someone said that on RAWK just minutes before you did.The worst miss in Chelsea's eight year history.
That is hands down, the best miss in the history of time. The player deserves a lot of credit for being able to prevent a goal there, even if he was trying!I've seen worse.
He probably nabbed it off twitter just as I did.Funny, someone said that on RAWK just minutes before you did.

A coincidence? or further confirmation you're a Liverpool fan?
I don't reckon it was - you can see he's full of confidence as he rounds the keeper and then he suddenly looks under pressure when he looks and sees the empty net glaring at him, as if he knows he's going to miss. And then does.Harsh tbh. 999 times out of 1000 he'd score. it was a freak miss.
Nah I think it was tweeted by an Arsenal fan. Some guy called the Arsenal Gent I think.Funny, someone said that on RAWK just minutes before you did.

That'll probably be the miss of the One-ties...I think he out did Forlan. Can easily be miss of the season.
Dont agree with that. an open goal is not something that'd pressure me let alone fernando torres.I don't reckon it was - you can see he's full of confidence as he rounds the keeper and then he suddenly looks under pressure when he looks and sees the empty net glaring at him, as if he knows he's going to miss. And then does.
I think he's got the footballer's equivalent of the yips in golf - and that miss is going to stay in his head a long time and make things even worse. Incredible.
I was literally closing my eyes expecting the inevitable....which didn't actually come!Celebrated it like a goal. Absolutely fantastic.
De Gea actually looks like he feels quite sorry for him!
The bloke in the middle pointing is brilliant!
Rooney doesn't suffer frequent debilitating injuries. If he did he would be in the same boat as Torres. I agree Torres can come good as he is a class footballer when on form, but he rarely is on form.Rooney was the same, he had a bad patch for months but eventually came good towards the end of the season.
A good player like Torres doesn't stay shite forever. To say it's an embarrassment that he scored against us is a bit OTT.
I said to my Dad before the match that I wouldn't be surprised if Torres scored today. Just thank god it didn't make a difference in the end.
..don't be sorry.Technically there's more space outside the goal than inside it. Torres just did the logical thing and attacked it.
Sorry
