Where was Johnson ?

opr

ughhhh!

Opr

K-9

Ah well, it will be 2-1!

Hopefully, or this thread will become very busy.

Pyjamarama

Not Johnsons fault, where was Dirk... he's been awful today... most of the team have tbf... I never thought i'd say it but we need babel time!

noodler

How is that a free?

flahavaj

Nando will do something extraordinary before this game is out.

happyoutscan

Kuyt is a donkey. Johnson's defending is similar to a donkey's.

opr

In fairness, alot of them did work very hard in Europe midweek. Really need to make some subs to inject some life into the team.

Opr

Ryan Babel and/or Alberto Aquilani coming on?

noodler

Dirk does look badly off the pace today.

mike65

oooooooooooooooh! Torres off N'Gog on. WTF

citytillidie

WTF is up with that Sub

Kess73

Torres off???

noodler

Torres off?

Jesus Christ Rafa? Is it just be different or what?

Holsten

Torres off?!

Rafa... what the ****?!?!?!

K-9

Madness.

Kess73

Surely not resting him for Thursday?

MoyVilla9

Torres looks shocked.

SlickRic

that's a sackable offence in itself.

Kess73

I hope N'Gog bangs in the winner, otherwise there will be a meltdown on this thread.:D

Well I never would have guessed in a million years that the extraordinary thing would be getting hauled off.:eek:

Chardee MacDennis

Did torres really just get substituted? Oh dear...

Podge2k7

Ok, wtf is Rafa doing?

noodler

He has his priorities all wrong if he thinks Thirsday is more important.

opr

Seeing how tired some of them look I think it shows how ridiculous it is to put any emphasis on the Europa cup. Our priority should be 4th and nothing else this season.

Edit - Torres really

Opr

spockety

If that is tactical, and pool lose, Rafa may have lost me.

fred funk }{

If we lose this match Rafa has a lot to answer for. I'm flabbergasted with the decision.

Rockee

Just when I thought Rafa couldnt get anymore baffling.

Melion

Ohhh Rafa, what have you done? I really hope this works out for you

MoyVilla9

Look on Gerrards face tells it all

Kess73

N'Gog almost justified the substitution there.

Jesus Wept

ffs.

Gillington

Rafa is hilarious!!

mike65

Another scare at the back, its all going pete tong.

Brum are 11/2 to win on PP

noodler

Wheres Alan?

Nulty

I'm not actually watching the match but is Torres not shattered after Thursdays game? I wouldn't have started him

ButcherOfNog

Torres was playing awful, not at the races at all, not surprised he's been taken off

fred funk }{

How Bowyer miss that :eek:

magma69

That's a cardinal sin by Rafa. Torres looked shocked to be taken off so he couldn't be injured or wanted to come off. We can't play two strikers now should we still be drawing with ten minutes to go. :mad:

NukaCola

We needed another striker on with Torres ffs.....

colly10

In rafa we trust ye? He does know we have to win this game ye? Europa league doesn't matter

SWAR

Torres looked absolutely shocked and came off shaking his head...it also just showed Gerrard's reaction who looked even more shocked than Torres. WTF Rafa?

Ngog just missed a good chance and Bowyer has just missed an absolute sitter...

SlickRic

if it's to rest people, take f*cking Kuyt off.

a fresh N'Gog could then come on and share the offensive workload.

K-9

He has officially lost it.

We need Babel on and quick.

Doesn't matter...it's still Torres. Watch the Villa game for reference. Did nothing all game and scored the winner

argosy2006

Torres would have put it in !!!!!!!!!!!

mike65

Babel on for Yossi.
