Spurs v Liverpool

[Acidmouse]

Torres to me looks like hes going to get injured 2-3 times a game. He keeps throwing himself into people and staying down. What happens if he is out for a lengthy period?

The same as last season I suppose, he started less than half the games...  Close but not close enough...

If we don't give him the supply, it doesn't matter if he's injured or not.  He can't score without the ball.

True to a certain extent,he just dosent seem to relish the physical side of the game like he did in his first season and the ball is bouncing off him more than i would like it too, obv im talking about last season not just the Spurs game, maybe he's constantly carrying niggles or whatever i dunno , but i would like to see him put himself about alot more and not stay down  if he gets kicked just get up and straight back in for some more, hopefully he will bang in a few against Stoke tomorrow to give himself a gee-up that i think he needs at the mo.

Nah, he was just pissed off playing for a crap side.

Thats what I'm saying, to me he shouldnt be pissed off  or at least should not be showing it on the pitch, i rather see players giving their all regardless of the overall team performance than moping around and been pissed off that sorta stuff is Ronaldos forte i dont want Nando going down the same route

I simply cannot agree with that. The guy looks like he's up for a ruck most of the time. Look at how he wanted to shove King after being tackled.

He was completely uninjured in his first season. Last year he was injured a lot (one injury was the same one three times) after virtually no pre season due to the Euro Champs win - any sports scientist will tell you that is related to his injuries.

Whispers that he's injury prone are way short of the mark imo.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nem, when was the last time we won the first game of the season ?

seems like forever !!

Against Pompey lasagne-gate season.

I still wouldn't swap Gomes for any other keeper in the EPL excluding Cech - although he hasn't been the same since his head injury.

Stonewall penalty but I don't know what Keane was doing after he missed 3 glorious chances in the first half.

Uh huh, you'd rather have him over the 23 year old 3 time EPL golden gloves winning Pepe Reina. Who got to 100 clean sheets faster than Ray Clemence. Of course you would.
