Ancellotti always make sure players are 100% fit before he includes them in games for us....I reckon Yossi is fit enough to play now...

Does anyone think that Bertrand might start tonight at left back??

BAG UP.......never listened as I now have 2 kids....

I think this one is quite simple. If he gets us in the top 4 and makes last 8 of champs league that is satisfactory - he stays, in not that is not satisfactory he has to go.

I can't claim that im afraid - someone texted me it this morning, very funny though..

That was the first big gash on a Nani that Rooney has not tried to shag!!!!!!

Why don't we raid Barcelona's reserve and youth team - I hear they are all as good as Wilshere

So you like him then??. Good player to have in your side though........

Did you see the interview with him before the game? - he seemed like a really decent bloke. But he is a cheat and a pussy on the pitch plus his brother is taking him to court, so can't be that nice....

All ifs, buts and maybes though....

Ramires is supposed to slot in from the right when they both go forward but that leaves us lopsided. We only changed to 4-4-2 to accomodate Torres, but Torres got more chances when we played 4-3-3.

He needs to do something because he looks like Stan Laurel at the minute

He should defo be the England captain again, has served his punishment and has improved his behaviour. I guess that is for another thread though??

Maybe the family thing is unsettling him. He is still living in a hotel while his young family are still in Liverpool. But yeah your right, he pushed for this move so has to make the most out of it. Maybe a nightout with John Terry would do him good or he could always pop round Waynes Bridges ex missus she still lives in Cobham dont she??

Just from looking at his body language and his face he looks really sad. I know he is a quiet bloke so maybe this is just his personality, but he smiled alot more at Liverpool. Hopefully when the first goal goes in he will be happier but im not sure all is right in the dressing room.

Carlo seems to add to the pressure though by keep saying he will score in the next game!!....Torres does not look happy in our team, I hope this changes quickly..

He made absolutely no atempt to win that ball and just wanted to do Nani, the only thing that would have made if worse was if he done it 2 footed...

We are due a bit of luck against these and looked very threatning from set plays last night, hopefully without Toure to organise the defence we can get a goal from thier...

Espcially with a £50 million striker who gets no service!!....Will be interesting to see what happens when Yossi is fit. I can see him playing right or left mid though rather than in the centre.

Have not read through the whole thread but where do you stand on others ignoring him??

No they aint but they are fantasically negative and are very difficult to break down. Any early goal for us in this and we would piss them....

Torres is not Sheva, Sheva was passed it when we bought him. Torres has had no luck so far - if the stunner he scored against Man U had counted he would have been off and running. I am more worried about certain other players, it looks like they are delibaretly not passing to him. He has to keep coming out wide for the ball and put crosses in the box. Last night when we went 3 up will lost our discipline and everyone was trying to score. Torres was in great positions at the end but Malouda refused to pass. If we keep winning it dont matter who scores aslong as we win and Torres brings benefit to the side. He doesnt hide when the going gets tough like Anelka and all the other french speaking players.

The only reason that they have beaten us in these games is that they have shown no desire to win the games and purely wait for the counterattack even when we have played them away. In my opinion this is our toughest league game till the end of the season. Carlo needs to show some tactical ability in this one and match thier physical approach and the players need to show patience and not go gungho. Although he was crap yeaterday I would keep Zhikov in the team and we have to drop Bosingwa at right back for this.

Shevchenko was not up to English football and we signed him when he was 30. Torres is in his prime but the problem is he aint gonna score unless the other players pick him out which they are not. If Yossi can get back in the side before the end of the season he will get Torres chances As I have mentioned on the Malouda thread, I am concerned that the french speaking players are ignoring him due to thier affliation with Drogba. This is a problem Ancellotti needs to put a stop to quickly. Torres looks like a sad little boy at the moment, does not seem to be enjoying his football.

No Ivanovic??
