Torres

Ha ha ha ha ha.


Liverpool striker Fernando Torres looks set for an increased injury lay-off because of a damaged hamstring.
Torres, 24, had been expected to be out of action for two weeks but has now been told by specialists that he will be out for at least four weeks.
The Spaniard suffered the injury during the Champions League victory against Marseille at Anfield on 26 November.
"We first said two to three weeks, but we do not want to put a time on it now," said Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
"He will come back when he is ready, We will not rush him back," added Benitez.
"We want to resolve this problem once and for all, and we will make sure we do that."


Torres has been plagued by hamstring problems over the past 18 months, suffering the injury five times in that period.
Liverpool are currently analysing his training schedule with both club and country in an attempt to resolve the problem.
Benitez had questioned the Spain training regime and believes it could be the cause of his injury.
"He has been injured now three times while with the national team and it is something we have to analyse," he said.
"We knew they were doing something that is maybe not the best for the player."
It had been hoped he would return by mid December but Torres will now miss Premier League games against Blackburn, Hull, Arsenal and Bolton.
He could return for the trip to Newcastle on 28 December.
Liverpool have struggled in recent weeks without last season's top scorer with new signing Robbie Keane still finding his form since his £20m move from Spurs in the summer.
The Reds currently top the Premier League but have drawn their last two home games without scoring a goal.
Torres himself is committed to returning to the side to boost their title credentials. He said: "The only thing to do is to get on with the rehabilitation and make sure that I come back when I am ready and not too soon."

Likely out for 4 weeks, not 2.

Funny how Liverpool are blaming Spain for Torres' problems, when it was their own continued insistence on playing an unfit Michael Owen (whilst his body was still too young to put up with the punishment) that all-but ruined the Welsh rat-boy's career at the top level.

In't karma brilliant?

They're blaiming spain?

It was said on the radio he never suffered these problems in spain and that Liverpool have to go through their training methords to see why he's like this here.

Maybe his hamstring has been robbed.

Quality.

I suspect the arched back / look overhead for the patented Carragher hoof doesn't help with the whole back / hamstring stretches.

Very true.

Also probably never had to run home as fast to see whats been robbed.

imagine how good we would be if we spent the berbatov money a year early on him

forwards - rooney, ronaldo, torres, tevez

Is this it then? Just constant anti-Berbie posts. Bit of a waste of time but each to their own.

I still want us to go for David Villa which would be almost as good if not better
