Fernando Torres in has been substituted off in his debut for Chelsea FC against his old club, Liverpool FC, and the twitterverse has some thoughts on that. However, most of the thoughts going out into the internet world from prominent folks are on other subjects, mainly how Luis Suarez and Florent Malouda need to be introduced into the game. Much to the displeasure of about 80% of the people watching this game, Solomon Kalou is the man who came on for Torres.
Chelsea FC Vs. Liverpool FC: Following The Reactions, 65th Minute, Fernando Torres Off
Let’s start with some thoughts from The Football Ramble, whose twitter I assume is manned by host Marcus Speller:
Desperately trying to stay awake through this game. Chelsea missing Malouda badly I think. L.

La Liga blogger Mark Goodman, like me, is a fan of playing footy drinking games that involve drink triggers when announcers say certain words. Mark has a fantastic suggestion for this game as it involves Efan Ekoku:
The Efan Ekoku drinking game needs to include the word "irrespective"

Former United States national team striker Alecko Eskandarian echos the sentiments of the rest of the twitterverse, calling for Florent Malouda and Luis Suarez to be introduced into the game:
Chelsea and Liverpool need Malouda and Suarez to come in and change things up. They'll be the difference makers this game desperately needs.

And finally, one of England’s best football writers, Oliver Kay of The Times, offers his thoughts on the Torres substitution:
Torres subbed 66 mins. Big call from Ancelotti, but it wasn't working. Doesn't look fit/sharp. Hasn't all season #LFC #CFC

Unfortunately, I have to agree. I’m a big fan of Fernando Torres when he’s at the top of his game, but he hasn’t been there in over a year. It was a rough debut for Torres, who struggled to make a real impact.
