Fernando Torres subbed as Kenny Dalglish takes his revenge on Chelsea
Fernando Torres suffered a debut from hell on Sunday. The ?50million record signing was substituted after 66 minutes as Chelsea were beaten 1-0 at home by his former club Liverpool. [LNB]Torres made no impact as Kenny Dalglish's three-man defence smothered Chelsea's ?90m strikeforce and Raul Meireles volleyed home the only goal of the game in the 69th minute. [LNB]Dalglish said: 'I don't think any oftheir forwards had a day they would be happy with. I didn't see ourgoalkeeper having too much to do. We defended brilliantly. They had oneshot on target.'

'Whatever someone else wants to do with their life, that's their choice. I came to win three points and, if Carlo Ancelotti had been playing up front, I'd still have wanted three points.' [LNB]Liverpool's fourth straight League win without conceding a goal eased them up to sixth, six points behind Chelsea in fourth.

'If you're asking me, I'd love him to be the manager.' [LNB]Roman Abramovich was not at Stamford Bridge to see his expensive new recruits and Ancelotti said he had no regrets about starting with Torres or altering the formation to accommodate him. [LNB]The Chelsea manager also hinted he would not change the system for the next game at Fulham. [LNB]'The problem wasn't that Torres played,' said Ancelotti. 'Liverpool defended very well. Fernando used his movement and did a good job. Give him time to adjust. I took him off because it has been a very busy week.'
