FFS. Why am I not surprised?

[Benzo-13]

[Guest Kaizer]

Jesus, does this mean Kuyt up front against Chelsea?

[Cunny]

f***!!!!!

[Bo Benn]

wonderful stuff this, can't wait for the Chelsea game

 

trying desperately to spin this positively; it might force the rest of the team to pull their f***ing socks up

[whitewidow]

b******s.

[McBain]

Get him in a hyperbaric chamber stat

[smicer07]

Poo.

Typical of our luck at the moment, think Babel has to be his direct replacement though if its serious.

[Redwire]

Babel has also come off early for Holland.

injured?

oh well, think it was going to be 1 up front against Chelsea anyway, just now it'll be Crouch or Kuyt instead of Torres

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres lasted just 23 minutes of Spain's international friendly against France on Wednesday before being replaced after suffering what appeared to be a right hamstring injury.

 

It was not immediately obvious when Torres sustained the problem, but Spain coach Luis Aragones was quick to replace the frontman with Daniel Guiza when it became obvious he was struggling.

 

Liverpool, who are away to Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League this weekend, will be keeping their fingers crossed that the injury to Torres - their top scorer with 18 goals in all competitions - is not serious.

subbed after 55 minutes, there have been a few subs used, so may be tactical rather than an injury

[Guest RedLegend]

Not good. Not good at all.

[CaptainXabi]

This is not good. Kuyt/Crouch is a decent pairing though, should Rafa decide to use it. Either up top on their own isn't going to give Chelsea too many problems.

think it was going to be 5 in midfield Masch Alonso with Gerrard in front of them anyway so it just means a different striker if Torres isnt fit.

 

Think Babel had a knock which is why he came off but i dont think it was too serious.

[Guy_Incognito]

He might have just felt something and been taken off as a precaution. If it was a competitive game then he might have been alright to stay on. Yeah?

 

Yeah?

b******s.

 

If we play one up front out of Kuyt, Voronin or Crouch we have no chance of winning against Chelsea.

Dont think it would be too bad with Crouch as long as we get numbers around him (Gerrard, Benayoun, Babel)

 

think theres a good chance Rafa was going to play 5 in midfield for this one anyway.

[Guest Kaizer]

Its all Snorky`s fault, I think the mockering Gods played a trick on him here the other day.

 

Not good.

if he plays kuyt ahead of crouch im going to do a dirty protest.

[Cobs]

he can play Crouch upfront with Kuyt & Voronin on the wings

[Rimbeux]

If it's hamstring, that's a month easy. The only hope would be if it was cramp
