After completing a wax-work Gerrard, Liverpool were impressed enought to have requested a wax-work Torres to help fill in the gap left up front for Liverpool.
"Just seeing Torres on the field will send shivers and draw defenders out of position, for sure, " Rafael Benitez told our journalists. "They make life-like works of art- and I don't think anyone will notice we're using a wax statue instead of the real thing."
"For sure, " Mr. Benitez continued, "they might notice a lack of pace from wax-work Torres, but Sir Alex has been using a wax-work Berbatov all season and most people haven't noticed he's not real yet. "
The use of "fake" players on the field is not new to this season. During the 2005 summer season Borussia Moscow fielded a player made of frozen lard against Chelsea.
Many Borussia fans are still trying to collect money from Chelsea to pay for psychiatric bills after watching Frank Lampard eating their presumed centre-back just outside the penalty box.
