Good old Sir Matt Busby was watching.
That Torres Miss
- Thread starter Boss
- Start date
He could have walked that in!
Thanks oranje
I actually held my head in my hands for him. I'm not sure if my hands where moving to my head in preparation for his goal, or I empathised with him. Or both.
Harsh tbh. 999 times out of 1000 he'd score. it was a freak miss.
Still can't believe he missed it. Think he was probably thinking about how to celebrate
Fergie would have got the best out of him, no doubt....he's in the wrong team!!
This is a worse miss than the Forlan. The biggest difference is the score line and the importance of the supposed goal. That sort of miss in incredible. My head was already turned down when he got pass de gea. Then I saw in the corner of my eye that he missed and the next thing you know the fans were celebrating more than ever.
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.

i believe that forlan miss was during a pre season game against juve.
this one from torres is in a big premiership game.
the occasion makes the difference even bigger.

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.
2 steps forward 10 steps back. What a plonker.
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.
I've seen worse.
reminds me of Forlan's miss against Juve... but worse
The four of us that were watching the match were instantly reduced to fits of laughter.
I think even my cat joined in.

Thing is he was actually quite good today. He actually looked quick for once.
Must be because he has became blond again.

That bad patch started in September...2010!
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.
Funny, someone said that on RAWK just minutes before you did.

A coincidence? or further confirmation you're a Liverpool fan?
Miss Torres.
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!
Torres' miss was almost as funny though, but I was too shell shocked to enjoy it. Was sure the game was on again, and even the miss couldn't shake that feeling for me.
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.
Nah I think it was tweeted by an Arsenal fan. Some guy called the Arsenal Gent I think.
Dont agree with that. an open goal is not something that'd pressure me let alone fernando torres.
imo, he took it too casually and didnt really wrap his foot around it. as a result, it went a bit wide.
embarrassing yes, but hardly something to do with him being far too daunted by the sight of the goal.
i do agree with the last bit though, he was looking like coming back to his old self till then. that miss might just set him 5 steps back after 2 ahead.
he look gutted and shell-shocked by it too, seem almost like want to cry..
Technically there's more space outside the goal than inside it. Torres just did the logical thing and attacked it.
Sorry
Sorry
The bloke in the middle pointing is brilliant!
Celebrated it like a goal. Absolutely fantastic.

I was literally closing my eyes expecting the inevitable....which didn't actually come!
I still can't believe it. The game today literally had everything.

De Gea actually looks like he feels quite sorry for him!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.
If pushed I would say I miss Torres. But not as much as Torres misses himself.
Torres
Looks like he's going to back scoring lots of goals very soon, some of his runs were brilliant today
Two good games in a row. Not great by any stretch of the imagination but he should kick on from this. It's about time aswell after what was paid.
