Is Torres....

I was discussing Henry from the perspective that he'd be a major improvement on what we have (kuyt).

If you were presented with the option of Henry to replace Kuyt, you'd surely take it?

If he was the only option,Yes.

But I`d rather we didn`t have a two yr plan when replacing Kuyt.And Kuyt wouldn`t be the striker I`d replace if Henry was an option.

So you'd keep kuyt ahead of crouch, then?

No I`d probably replace Voronin.
It`s like taking sweets of kids.

Well yeah, ok that one's obvious.

“He’s quick and powerful like Thierry Henry. People just bounce off him in training. He doesn’t act like a superstar and he closes down like Rushy [Ian Rush],” “He’s well worth the dough, isn’t he?” said Carragher.

He's come a long way, not just since his Atletico days, but since the early days of the season when he was missing good chances, the like of which he is tending to put away now.

Sick and tired of hearing in the media of how Rafa should have played him more though, the latest proponent being Hansen. Rafa's only rested him for 2 league games FFS, both of which were in Sept!

Even Hansen just said it on MOTD

It's pathetic. People who should know better, Hansen, Souness, Redknapp etc, all following this tired media line without checking their facts first.

Most people on here are far more informed, and far more intelligent, than Souness and Redknapp in particular.

Even Thommo said during the buildup to the CL draw.

Thommo said he hasn't been played enough? Pathetic.

My issue with Rafa over his use of Torres was that he rested him in the league match v Birmingham on 22 Sep and then started him in the League Cup at Reading. I'd have much preferred he did it the other way round.

But we've had 30 league games this season, Torres has played 27 of those, starting 24, 3 subs appearances. the other games he missed through injury. Rooney, Ronaldo and Adebayor have played less league games than Torres, but who gets the stick? Rafa.

The media in this country is nothing short of an embarrasment.

This is what Carlton Palmer said today:-

"Rafael Benitez has nullified his own argument. Liverpool are on a good run of form and he's made the least rotations to his squad."

Simplistic and moronic.

[Craig_H]

The very fact that Carlton Palmer is paid to offer footballing opinion, in itself, is moronic.

[g.red]

Yeah, only a fool wouldnt take Henry.

It's a no-brainer.

I would then hope to keep him on as a coach to help Torres and Babel (especially) improve their game.
