Torres passing is crap, I don't care what anyone says. His body shape is all wrong and any lofted pass fails to hit the target by some.

Thankfully Rego is calling him Philogene and not Philogene-Bidace.

Cool finish - happy for the lad! Good work from Digne and Rogers as well.

Assume that’s a typo and you meant Nigel reo-Coker

Torres crap at passing is a niche view.

No. Daniel Levy has told Atletico that he must not play until he’s made up his mind if he wants to sign him as straight swap for Richalison.

I would not say it is crap, but if this is one's best quality as a defender, then there are issues. And, to be fair to you, Tuscans, his passes often do not find the target. On the other hand, if you look at the first goal, the initial pass from him to Rogers was very nice. Still, I want my defenders to be really good at defending first and foremost and Torres is pretty average at that.

His brother I think, Gruffydd Williams.
