The worst thing about him was that he was so slow! I still can't get the image of Torres blowing by him in our first EPL meeting with Liverpool at Anfield last season :wallbang:

something he did for 50 other defenders in europe and also against chelsea in CL semi final.....

You're knowledgeable about the game, you should know each play is never the same. That was just one clear example of how slow his first step is, no burst whatsoever. He's a good 4th CB to have around but not when he's voicing his displeasure to the media, hopefully we can get the 5M for him.

yes coz torres is exceptional, ben haim played for bolton for yrs and no one did that to him....but i guess as Lahm found out torres is quick, anyway...plus he didnt complain, he said if i knew jose would go and that idiot grump will be coach i wouldnt have signed, which every player in chelsea pretty much felt...thats all.....but i agree we have too many centre halves now UNLESS carvalho leaves.....

No he didn't, that's a bad example. Lahm just didn't deal with that play urgently enough, made an error in judgement by waiting for the keeper and not shielding Torres. So Torres just swam around him and played him like a little kid
