I'm not sure how many people noticed, but Fernando Torres did not make the Spanish bench in their Euro qualifier earlier in the week.
Today, he watched from the bench as Daniel Sturridge stole the show. We can't keep blaming his performance on the Liverpool voodoo that followed him and Benayoun to Chelsea. Raul Merieles has succeeded in killing off those silly beliefs in only one game with Chelsea.
I honestly thought that he lost his powers when he cut his long hair and washed off the blond dye at Liverpool. But his hair has grown back since then, and the blond color is gradually returning (he must have found the dye as he was unpacking his stuff from Liverpool). What is the problem?
Whatever the answer is, I continue to root for him as a fan of what he brought to Liverpool. I would like to see him smile again. He has only done so once in nine months at Chelsea.
Wake up Nando, before you are sent on loan to West Brom, to be reunited with Roy Hodgson!
