i still think rafa will go for torres and kuyt against united and bring on babels pace for the final 30 to scare the defence
I'd go with him as a sub, a bit of pace vs tired legs as few teams use up subs to replace their CBs (except for injury)
I liked the link up of Kuyt and Torres last night, has to be the preferred starting pair at the moment. We looked very good when we kept the ball on the ground, makes me happy when Crouch isn't in the side for that reason alone. I wonder if anyone told Reina that Crouch wasn't playing last night as he insisted on punting it upfield and I reckon we probably lost 70% + of possession from those punts
