Henry Winter is the lone voice in proclaiming Torres is back to his best despite his late miss.
Sam Wallace bigs up Chelsea (after a fashion) and whines about offside.
There seems to be a popular theme that Rooney slipping and missing a penalty somehow excuses Torres' miss. It doesn't. Kevin McCarra toes this line, but at least his report gives us credit, while also praising Chelsea for their part in the "classic" game.
Jim White praises Nani.
Martin Samuel is a good read for those who wish to continue wallowing in Torres' discomfort.
Richard Williams quotes Shakespeare to sum up the madness of the game.
James Lawton has praise for Rooney.
The managers quotes:
"For the neutrals it was fantastic and open. Some of our football was terrific but we were so careless we could have thrown it away. We did OK when we got the ball to Nani and Ashley Young [in the wide positions] but when we tried to be clever in the middle of the field we kept botching it up and Chelsea kept counter-attacking."
