It could also be said that they have been ripped out of their comfort zone and I think this applies on the pitch as well as off it. For Torres I only think this is a minor problem although his ego seems to have taken a bruising now that the spotlight isn’t just focused on him like it was in Merseyside. Carroll, on the other hand, at 22-years-old, has been taken away from the area in which he grew up, the football club he loved and the confines of his friends and family.
Worst of all he’s lost the positive influence and guidance that he received after his troubles with the police. At Newcastle he was in a harmonious environment, adored by his fellow Geordies and playing with no added pressure on his shoulders. That was all sacrificed when he moved to Liverpool with Fabio Capello recently berating him over the fact he doesn’t seem to take his obligations as an athlete seriously enough.
These are just some of the problems that have plagued both players since their big money moves. Obviously the constant scrutiny and desperation for them to live up to their hefty price tags will have had a detrimental effect on their mental state. But to solely blame that for their poor form is extremely naïve.
They’ve struggled to adapt to their new habitats with this a worry for Carroll especially who now has to make a serious decision regarding his lifestyle choices. Obviously their confidence has sunk to dangerous levels and with injuries also playing a part in the tragic downfall ever since their moves it remains to be seen whether the duo can eventually find their feet, some belief and start to play football to the level expected of them.

Torres is not plagued by worries of money the disappiontment of torres is because of his overconfident in him when ever he gets chances in giving goals and secondly it is lack of giving him ball at the right time by his team mate also some of his fellow strikers are selfish
