Torres points a disappointed finger at Gillett and Hicks
“I’m gonna punch you in the face”
No one likes to play the blame game, but with Liverpool in turmoil after a dreadful season by their own standards, Fernando Torres has raised a metaphorical finger to the maelstrom, whilst simultaneously shining the spotlight of blame on Gillett and Hicks – the seething American owners who totally hate each other, and now presumably communicate by telling whoever is nearest to “tell Mr Gillett that…”, or “could you please ask Mr Hicks to…”
It’s all rather childish.
Anyway, as reported in today’s Mirror, Torres has spoken out, and said this:
“After a good season last year, circumstances dictated we had to sell players and everything got messed up.”
“The sale of Alvaro Arbeloa, Sami Hyypia and Xabi Alonso was an important loss. Alvaro was a player who did a vital job for us and his flexibility was a huge bonus.”
“Sami may not have played every week but he was a 10 out of 10 on and off the pitch, bringing equilibrium to the ground and having everyone’s admiration.”
“And Xabi? Players like Xabi are very rare. He was the team’s engine and you know that when you change an engine, it takes time to work again.”
But do Liverpool have time on their side? Are they on borrowed time? Is it time for Torres to look elsewhere?
