Liverpool legend Molby: Torres biggest obstacle to Chelsea winning title

Liverpool hero Jan Molby says Fernando Torres is the biggest obstacle to Chelsea's title quest.

Misfiring striker Torres, 28, comes face to face with his former club Liverpool today in a crunch top-flight clash at Stamford Bridge.

Molby, 49, told the Daily Star Sunday: "I just don't fancy Chelsea to win the Premier League title this season ­because I always felt that their season would hinge on whether Torres could score 20-plus goals and that is not looking at all likely.

"Chelsea's downfall this ­season will be having Torres as the main striker and an over-reliance on their other attacking players.

"He should be pretty close to ten goals ­already at this stage of the season, and he's not looking like a man capable of leading a team to the Premier League title in such a crucial ­position."
