Torres out of Blackburn game

I think Benitez has done the right thing, remember what happened not long ago, he wasn't ready, Rafa played him, and he's been out since then. No Nando will probably mean no Aquilani, I hope if Benitez keeps Aquilani for Wednesday we get to see at leasy 20 mins against Blackburn. Blackburn had a real tough mid-week game, there is every chance they'll tire at some point, we must take any advantage we can get, they will want to score early and keep it that way, so it's important we score first. Come on you mighty reds lets send Allardyce packing for the lies he spoke last season.

Keep him sidelined until Arsenal, 100% fit, guaranteed performance from the ol' boy too.

the daily mail states he could miss world cup because of persistant groin problems

The positive of that would be that he'd finally get a proper rest.

Didn't think he would play wonder if we will see Aqualani

Was a massive loss again today, we have no cover for him, we were toothless again today thought Kuyt was awful again. We badly need a striker in January.

Agree we were very toothless and these persistent injuries of his are frustrating I woul rather lose him for 3 months in one go then have him play 2 matches and miss out 9.

It's best we have him fully recovered than 99.9% fit and then sit out again.

Yes but it has been ongoiing for 2 years now.

Yeah, I know It's just depressing that it's happening to one of our most important players. It's like 'Why can't Voronin be the injured one?'.

But, mind you, this time it is his groin. Not his hamstring. I'd be much more worried if it's his hamstring again.
