Torres blow but Blues are starting to shape up

THERE was one of those mass sharp intakes of breath around the stadium as Torres took off with both feet for that typical striker’s tackle on Saturday.

I’m not complaining about the red card — he barely touched him but that was more through luck than judgement and those are the kind of tackles we need eradicated.

It was incredibly frustrating as I could see Torres adding to the goal he’d already put away. Instead he misses three games. Good job Drogba’s fit again as we need to keep pace with the Manchesters even at this early stage of the season.
