andy_g wrote:i've mentioned it a couple of times bob. there's the long throw and there's the rory delap long throw. the significant factor is that the ball will be flying towards our box on a regular basis, from areas you wouldn't normally expect it to, and we need to make sure we can win the resulting aerial battle.

Things we should do:
- Play Torres from the start - looked very rusty against Marseille and needs games and goals.
- Play Keane from the start, starting him on bench given that he hasn't scored yet may harm his confidence, and I fancy him to score in this one.
- Play Riera from the start, again, the guy needs games and has looked good so far.
- After that I'm not overly bothered except that I don't want Lucas or Aurelio in the team because I don't rate either of them.
torres didnt look rusty at all
in fact he was lightening in the way he stole the ball on half way against marseille which led to our goal
plus his defensive attributes from marseille set pieces were very good and sharp also.
i counted 3 significant headers from danger in our penalty area
what game were you watching?

What game was I watching?![]()
You think he's match sharp because he once dispossessed one of their players and won 3 defensive headers?
His touch was sh.ite, which is to be expected when you're not at full fitness. FFS it's obvious, the one time he managed to get in behind their defence his bad touch let the defender get back and clear it.
Stick to the jokes mate

That class shown in the way he won a ball which he had no right to win and effectively started the move which brought Gerrard's first goals, class players do things like that even when playing badly.
