Is there a good reason why Torres was brought off after 65 minutes at 1-1?

West Ham just scored a brilliant equaliser.

Right, apparently Torres wasn't having a good game. Still, he has ability which none else do on that team.

West Ham just scored a brilliant equaliser.

They've been dominating this half, brilliant cross for the goal as well.

 

[Red]

They haven't really dominated from what I've seen, but they've played pretty well.

Parker has been very good.

 

[Gep]

Well done WHU. My god what a 2nd half performance. Hope they dont go down.

 

[Azzurri7]

Liverpool 1-1. On paper Birmingham away is tuff but Liverpool are in a worse posistion as us for the race for fourth.

Their situation looks even worse than ours ...so far.

 

[JBF]

They're still in EL thought.

They're still in EL thought.

They are luckily for them, but the amount of points adrift from 4th they are is unreal.

I was waiting for this.

They're only four points behind City. The only problem they have is that City and Spurs have a game in hand over them.

Thats a big problem, Liverpool need to win all their games and hope City lose atleast 2, 3 if they win their game in hand. Liverpool are out of it for me.

Love the smirk on Rafa's face.

"Take that CL hopes."

 

[Nicholas]

I do hope Rafa leaves Liverpool if we can offer him Champions League football and the funding I would love to see him here. My realistic and best choice for next year.

Funny as anything really. You have a Fernando Torres on the pitch, you take him off because he's not having a great game and you put someone like Ngog on?! Torres is definitely one of the few strikers who can make the difference out of nowhere, with a moment of genius.

The chances Ngog just screwed up afterwards, Torres would've scored with his eyes closed.

 

[Red]

I wouldn't count on that.

Torres' conversion rate of chances hasn't been up to his usual high standards of late, certainly from what I have seen.

 

[Ken]

You're right, but when Ngog is the alternative...

I was simply trying to say that as a coach you know Torres has the ability to score out of nowhere, and Ngog is such a step back, even a patch of 'bad' form shouldn't weigh in favour of thinking Ngog would save your game for you.


But yea, I understand how the way I expressed myself there made it seem he took a Torres in red hot form off.

 

[Red]

I agree that it was an odd change.

However, Torres did, apparently, get an ice pack on his knee as soon as he came off.

Also, maybe Benitez has already half given up on getting a CL spot and was looking towards the game against Benfica.

Thats true, he hasn't really been his deadly self this season, but only for his high standards, despite missing chances he wouldn't miss normally i still say he is one of the deadliest strikers this season. I mean he's scored 18 league goals already and he's missed half the season, imagine if he hadn't been injured?
