"There have been various important factors, like the fact that we were so far off the top of the table so quickly," Torres said. "That killed us psychologically and has stopped us changing the situation. After that, injuries hit us pretty hard and we have felt that a lot... 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."

I was surpried he even got booked. Fair challenge!
Many believe Holland midfielder Nigel de Jong should have been sent off for his "kung-fu kick" to the chest of Xabi Alonso during the World Cup final. What do you think. Should the Manchester City midfielder have seen red? Vote now!
