Just thinking about it - not surprised the club kept quiet about the swine flu thing - besides bringing a lot more unneeded media attention on things, it would have been a bit of a boost to Fulham's morale if they had known before-hand.

Bagging the 3 points here would be a great result given the circumstances.

Giving voronin the assist is ermmmmmmm, a bit 'fresh' dont ya think?, he headed to nobody, hit fulham player on the chest and it popped to torres.

Hes practically a passenger out there. I expect him to come off, move benny into gerrards role and bring babel on.

yea , makes sense daithijjj

Reginald P. DuM · 31-10-2009 5:03pm

I think they'll push on and win it from here. Fulham have threatened little.

1-3, Dirk and Benayoun..

I was being generous it true! Anyway as we can all see what needs changing I'm sure thats what will happen at 60 mins in +/- 2 mins.

Aye, it virtually impossible to predict rafa though. Incidentally, i hate this grey screen

mike65 · 31-10-2009 5:07pm

Its black, for eirebhoy. (does my eyes in as well tbh)

whatawaster · 31-10-2009 5:09pm

Lucas having an excellent game.
Kuyt has been poor. He's gonna score

Ah ok, thanks for the info, i thought it was for halloween or something, not logged in that long.

mike65 · 31-10-2009 5:14pm

I think Greek Fella bought that one cheap!

Sherifu · 31-10-2009 5:19pm

The man that can't be sent off

daithijjj · 31-10-2009 5:19pm

Carra livin on the edge of disaster there.

Eire-Dearg · 31-10-2009 5:20pm

Torres off, Babel on.

:eek:

Seen em given before...but probably wasn't a penalty. Zamora went looking for it

Stargate · 31-10-2009 5:20pm

Stay on your feet Jamie , one more like that and your off !

PHB · 31-10-2009 5:20pm

ffs Rafa, 8 more minutes! No doubt would have gotten another goal if he stayed on

Torres off. Wtf?

daithijjj · 31-10-2009 5:21pm

Holy fkin jesus, what kind of odds would one have got on that substitution.

magma69 · 31-10-2009 5:21pm

Torres off!!! Benitez needs to get off the crack! League officially lost if we don't get the 3 points. :mad:

Stargate · 31-10-2009 5:21pm

Torres off ???????????

If he wasn't English he'd have a lot more red cards to his name I think.

Now Babel, let's see what your made of.

joe123 · 31-10-2009 5:22pm

Why the **** did he take Torres off :mad:

That_Guy · 31-10-2009 5:22pm

Torres off? Strange one it must be said.

whatawaster · 31-10-2009 5:23pm

clearly a fitness/injury issue

Spud83 · 31-10-2009 5:23pm

Who did Babel come on for?

Hank Scorpio · 31-10-2009 5:24pm

What the hell?! Torres off!

daithijjj · 31-10-2009 5:25pm

The worst thing about that substitution is that it will probably give fulham more of a lift than us. How the fk voronin stays on when we need a goal il never know. And another thing, if babel doesnt win this game for us now he will get the brunt of the abuse, having said that he did get the assist for benny here last season in the dying seconds.

Didn't look like a fitness or injury issue to me the way he was running off.

daithijjj you did say Babel would come on , but we didnt think it woul be Torres going off , strange ??????

mike65 · 31-10-2009 5:28pm

I'm now hoping for a draw.

PHB · 31-10-2009 5:28pm

There's no indication that it was a injury issue. Torres shook his head coming off, ran off cleanly, and stayed in the dug out. If he was injuried it would have been straight to teh physio.

It's clearly a resting issue, for the CL game midweek. With Gerrard out, he needs Torres on top form. He's gambling with this game to ensure you get out of the group stages in the CL.

If it works out, it's great rotation. Liverpool should have enough to win this as it is. If it fails, it's on him.

I mean he's only back from a muscle injury so the doctors probably advised 60 mins or so, regardles of whether torres wants to stay on or not

pool fan · 31-10-2009 5:29pm

hard to see liverpool winning now,its all gone a bit flat.

Eire-Dearg · 31-10-2009 5:29pm

Ah ****.

mike65 · 31-10-2009 5:30pm

I knew that would happen the moment Kuyt kept the ball in.

pool fan · 31-10-2009 5:30pm

ah no

PHB · 31-10-2009 5:30pm

And fail it does

**** me what a cracking finish

31-10-2009 5:30pm

**** sake.

Was blatantly a substitution ahead of the champions league but i still dont like it. No point beting united one week and dropping points the next weekend.

EDIT........bollix.

Stargate · 31-10-2009 5:30pm

what now ????????????????????????

Spud83 · 31-10-2009 5:30pm

Good auld Erik, always had a soft spot for him

Holsten · 31-10-2009 5:30pm

Joke.

Xavi6 · 31-10-2009 5:31pm

Oh oh

~Marky~ · 31-10-2009 5:31pm

Ughhh this is horrible :mad:

Sherifu · 31-10-2009 5:31pm

Kuyt's work ethic undoes them. Defending is still dire.

Hank Scorpio · 31-10-2009 5:31pm

lols
