Torres out of the derby

[Tom]

apparantly. Scuse if already posted.

[Parm]

ah ****, I know it was looking tight, but damn.

[Red Chilli]

Didn't think it was the right game for him anyway

This has been reported in a lot of the stories during the weekend as the recovery time is 10 days minimum. Voronin and Kuyt to start? Or Babel up top like against Spurs seen as he had rest with Holland? Or if I was AFII it could be Brouwer and Kuyt

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

He's out but I bet Kuyt will be fit.

Not ****ing happy.

[Tom]

It'll be crow and kuyt if fit.

[Joe King]

I'd love Babel to start, he would kill Stubbs with his pace, that dirty bent nosed ****er!

[Red Chilli]

CROW is perfect for this game IMO

[Tom]

or how about play mascher, alonso and momo in midfield, push gerrard forward to wreak havoc.....

Oh swell.

A no-no to Momo. Lucas would be brilliant, he keeps the ball well, tidy player, aggressive at times, very athletic, mean shot on him.

How about an appearance from Kewell?

well lets go with yossi, mascher, abi (if fit), Penannt in midfield along with Babel and Stevie supporting The Crow/Crouch/Kuyt (whoever survies the international games)

Crouch will survive because he won't play for England- well unless they start to look for hopeless 70 yard balls. Doesn't mean he should play.

Yossi behind the striker preferably Kuyt- see what he can do in his original position?

England play 70yd balls...never!
Yossi wouldnt be a bad shout behind the striker, but we do need some width and I think Babel would be a more suited to the hole role than Yossi

Stubbs isn't a regular though, he has started once in their last 5 games.
