Torres out for 6 weeks

[Harv]

i feel like crying

[RoadEnd]

Wished we'd played Spurs on Sunday now.

Liverpool today revealed the extent of the injuries sustained by Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun against Reading last night.

A Club spokesman said: "Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres both underwent scans earlier today after coming off in the FA Cup tie against Reading.

"Steven has a hamstring strain and will be out for a fortnight, while Fernando has torn a cartilage in his right knee. The injury will require surgery and he is expected to be sidelined for six weeks.

"Yossi Benayoun also suffered a fractured rib in the game and will be unavailable for between three and four weeks."

Were screwed

Those cunts were bouncing our lads around the whole game in a, successful, attempt to keep us unsettled. Ref offered Torres no protection whatsoever. If Torres does decide to leave then it'll be far more about his treatment by refs than anything else IMO.

[Marky]

**** sake.

[The Birdman]

So............. we now have Johnson, Riera, Benayoun, Gerrard and Torres out.
Half a side missing at a crucial stage of the season.
Plus the other squad lads like Kelly, El Zhar etc......

[calvoboy]

unreal isn't it - the whole club is just falling apart. torres and gerrard haven't been right for weeks, johnson and benayoun have been struggling, riera not been fit.

it's one big cluster **** - and wiht no money we are screwed - time for someone from somewhere to step up and provide us with one beacon of hope, a miracle

Cometh the hour, cometh the man - Pacheco. Stick him in as a straight replacement for Stevie, playing behind Babel, Maxi on the right, whoever's fit on the left.

This is officially the lowest point in my time as a Liverpool supporter. So unbelievably low and hopeless. Literally hopeless. ****ing hell. Lost for words. WTF

[PTP]

Always our top players. Always. Torres, Gerrard, Johnson, Riera (don't care what people say, he's in our best XI)...continually ****ing injured. Worst season ever, not just for us but I don't think any club has ever had a season like this. If it didn't make me a glory hunter I'd just walk away from the sport and the club now. I just don't need this ****. However, we'll all stick it out....

A mate of mine has given it all up in the last month or so.

it's horrible isn't it - to be honest imo it's been coming - we have papered over the cracks for too long now. Everything has just collapsed in on big heap of dog turd

least we have that striker who is an experienced international who has played champions league football that we picked on free to fall back on.

****, no wait we just sold voronin Andriy, come back please haha

Honestly I'd consider giving it all up if I knew how. I just have no idea how I'd go about doing it. It's just instinctive in me, the club's in my blood.

I suppose I have made baby steps towards doing this recently, I didn't watch the match last night and chose instead to go to a pub that never shows sport. I'm so glad I did as I'd be even more miserable than I am now otherwise.

I suppose I'm going through a slow trial separation from the game I used to love so much. I'd like to point out it's not just our own collapse, it's due to the way the game is going in general, and it's gradually wearing me down.

****ing hell I sound like Marky

has to be doesn't it? - he can't do any worse - he might just might do something better, be it something indvidual, or by waking up someone currently in the first XI who is struggling.

team for stoke

er

reina

degen
agger
carragher
aurelio if he is fit

lucas
mascher
maxi
reira or babel

and pacheco and ngog


kuyt, aquiliani, skrtel, eccleston and billington on the bench

[ashey]

It's time to give some of the young players a run. I don't wanna see us playing senior players out of position. You never know, their enthusiasm may just make some of the seniopr players raise their game.

Four of the best 'Angst Metal' bands around, from what I've heard.

Same mate. Im genuinely considering taking a break from all this. Its ruining me, im starting to hate the game.

[ukfootballfan101]

we're at an all time low. But I honestly believe we will finish the season well. Rafa lives for this ****, he's at his best when his back is against the wall.

I predict we'll finish 3rd and win the europa league.

[Taxi]

I thinks it time we accept it and write this season off and start again in August.

Lets be honest, and I know it may come across as being defeatist but with this news now, the impetus that now sits with Manchester City, and the superior position and (fit) resources that Villa and Spurs have, we will not be in the top 4 this season.

Time to move and and start making plans for the new season.
