Now with the window closed our whole season depends on one player....

Bleh. If Torres gets injured so be it. Crouch and Kuyt did just fine as a partnership last season (13 wins in 16 games they started as a duo) so given a run together I'm sure they'd do the job.

Huntelaar just needs to be given the chance at a major european club either here or Spain.He really does have it all to be top notch.

It's Ibrahimovic in CAD's avatar mate!!!

Sad to say I agree with this. We would be in deep doo-doo if he got injured.

Torres has looked a little jaded or off the pace in recent weeks and it shows in the rest of the team as we simply don't look like scoring. We rapidly are becoming a one man team

[dww]

As we have seen relying on Torres/Gerrard is not the way. We need everyone to man up and show pride in their shirt and fight for the club. We will only succeed if we get back to the high tempo harrying game which has allowed us to control games in past seasons.

I think that the people we have added to the squad in Torres, Benayoun and Babel will allow us to improve as a team if we can set the same standard of foundations we have in previous seasons. They are more consistent and in Torres' case simply much better than what we used to have.

we have a good players in Yossi, Babel is settling in.

and last year we were effectivly 3 points better off.

he needs to be rotated

Poor post this. If we played proper football, I can see us doing well without Torres if he got injured.

The fact that Yossi and Babel are capable of scoring along with Gerrard sets my fears at ease.

You’ll probably get slaughtered by the usual suspects (although Rocket seems to have left ) but you’re right – we’ll be ****ed if Torres gets injured.

Babel offers some hope, however, and could deputise in the event of a Torres injury, but yeah…we need him desperately.

Almost as desperate is the need to add another top striker to the squad.

Surely no one can be doing any slaughtering when thats probably the most factual comment made on this forum since i've been on here.

Obviously your in agreeance Shaggy- if Torres gets injured for any pro-longed amount of time between now and may we won't finish top 8 never mind top 4.

With the Skipper seemingly with his extremely large head shoved up his arse, Carra suffering a dip in form I haven't seen since the Carragher dark ages of the late 90's and EVERYBODY else lacking either confidence, ability or in a lot of cases both Torres (and maybe Babel) offers us our only ray of light!

The point I was trying to make is there are some people who tend to lay into AFII regardless of what he's posted. It's very strange. Anyway...

It was becoming very boring.

It was becoming very boring.

“was becoming”...!!!

Anyway, we should see a little less of that now…

Sorry man, i don't read enough posts to notice he gets slated, haha.

I would hope on the basis of this post he doesn't though. Very good point, well made!
