TORRES OUT OF MERSEYSIDE DERBY

Jimmy Rice 20 October 2007

Fernando Torres misses out on this afternoon's Merseyside derby at Goodison, with Andriy Voronin partnering Dirk Kuyt up front for Liverpool.

Neither Torres or Xabi Alonso are in the squad to face Everton at 12.45pm despite hopes earlier in the week they might be fit.

The team in full is: Reina, Riise, Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher, Benayoun, Mascherano, Gerrard, Sissoko, Voronin, Kuyt. Subs: Itandje, Crouch, Pennant, Babel, Lucas.

Really?

No Torres or Alonso

So our first XI is totally devoid of pace.

Kinell...

Why no Arbeloa?

Still a strong team out there.

Probably picked up a knock.

No pace, nothing really for everton to be afraid of, certainly not up front anyway.

Yossi's gonna get booted to ****e out there.

Gerrard really needs to step up to the plate, i see little else in the form of goal threat in that XI

Stevie is no slouch, neither is Voronin. If we get our passing right we will win.

Stevie is no slouch, neither is Voronin. If we score more goal then them, we will win.

Agree on the passing point. Need proper pace up front though, it's a useful outlet and can turn a game.

Voronin isnt what i'd call quick.

[Pablo]

Neverton team announced yet?

[Jayesh87]

Anyone know evertons starting xi?
