[Flasher]

What is it with Henry? He loves us right now.

 

Interesting story on the official. Hinting that Torres may travel????

 

Henry loves Torres and fears for Arsenal if he plays

I'm not sure it translates to "Henry is coming", but it is weird he seems to be the most quoted person on there, second only to Dirk.

They even had a cheeky headline of 'Thierry loves Liverpool' the other day, but it was a different Thierry

It's odd isn't it. There seems to be a real love affair between him and the club at the moment.

 

The line about "IF" Torres is fit for Sunday was more interesting. This is the first message from the official site, therefore the club to suggest he actually could be fit.

aww, let's assume that it does, where would he fit?

He doesn't play RW, LW or lone striker - so we'd have to play 442 again (our weakest formation) and just like Keane it's not clear he'd work with Torres

[pawiddop]

Sign him up Rafa!!

'Plunged' 33 goals?

Or 4-4-1-1, or 4-3-3 a la Barca

 

Or 4-3-2-1, which apparrantly was Rafa's plan for this season. Barry in the 3, with Gerrard and Keane behind Torres. Not sure who the third of the 3 would have been though - Barry, Masch and ?

Assuming Alonso left then it would have been lucas by default, no brainer really.

 

Regarding Henry, he could play on the left or the right as well as upfront with Torres. I think they'd complement eachother perfectly really. Henry has good ball control and can create for himself, his pace isn't what it used to be but he's still FAR superior to Keane in almost every aspect. Not to mention his attitude has never been a bad one. The main reason 442 is our weakest formation is our lack of a quality 2nd striker (Keane HAS quality but has yet to show it) and a decent right winger for that formation (Kuyt is great but he shouldn't be the RM in that formation, he's much better in the 4231 or a 343/433)

Torres is not fit:

[from .tv]

 

Meanwhile, Lee revealed Fernando Torres would not be fit in time for Sunday's Emirates trip as he continues his recovery from a hamstring tear.

 

"He won't be fit for the weekend, no," said Lee. "He's back in training and running. We are trying to make sure he's right and 100 per cent for when he does come back."

 

[from BBC]

 

"Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has no new injury problems to contend with.

 

Striker Fernando Torres (hamstring) is out for at least one more week, while full-back Fabio Aurelio (calf) may return after three games out."

[Ombudsam]

Henry said

 

"He is a really powerful player. It's difficult to compare. I really respect him as a footballer and that's where it stops."

 

What so he doesn't respect him as a person.

 

I could be a girl.
