Liverpool V Newcastle Pre Match Thread

Worry more about the perfomance rather than one player,we have played without certain players in the past and still achieved results so whats all the fuss about?.
Rafa has his plan and I'm sure it will be a successful one.

True true true... but everyone wants to see Nando in action!

Who cares, just got 15 minutes to wait to see the starting XI. Will prove whether Torres is crocked or not.

Relax.

Torres rumour bit worrying, hope its not true. But even still, we can win without him. I wonder sometimes where these rumours come from.

From Setanta:

Fernando Torres is definitely out of Liverpool’s clash with Newcastle after he did not even take the team bus.

Reports emerged in the Sunday papers that Torres may miss out with a hamstring strain, the type of which has dogged him all season.

Having scored 13 league goals in just 20 games this season, the Spaniard has been firing Liverpool’s title challenge right to the very dying embers of the season.

However, Liverpool will definitely be without Torres for the visit of Newcastle after The Reds disembarked the bus without their star striker.

Rafa Benitez will now surely be forced to start Steven Gerrard upon his return from injury as Liverpool look keep the title race going on Sunday.

Forced to start Stevie?

Coloccini is a disaster on legs right now. Even Reina could do the business up front.

So unfortunate for torres, i'm sure he is fed up with this injury problem. Hopefully it is not too serious. Anyway, onwards and upwards, can still win without him!

He drove to the ground, that's why he wasn't on the bus

The Liverpool team in full: Reina, Arbeloa, Aurelio, Carragher, Agger, Mascherano, Alonso, Kuyt, Benayoun, Gerrard, Riera. Subs: Cavalieri, Skrtel, Ngog, Dossena, Babel, Lucas, El Zhar.

It's official. No Torres.

Rest him for the rest of the season. Dont want it becoming a career hampering injury. Lets do the barcodes one today.

think Rafa is half thinking of next season already?
