There lies the reason why we get owned by Man U.
If Torres has an off day or comes up against a quality pairing like Vidic and Ferdinand we are pretty much fucked unless Gerrard pulls something out the bag. They can concentrate their efforts on stopping Torres with little threat from elsewhere.
I noticed against Man City last week (I understand motivation may have been an issue) if Kuyt or Babel got it to the by line you would have Torres on his own in the box, Gerrard outside the box and most of the time Lucas an Masch on the halfway line.
We could definitely afford to be a little more positive and trust are defence to pull us out the shit if a counter attack was launched.
