Agger, Xabi & Torres

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

what's the news?

 

I'm sure Xabi's back in the frams & I hope Torres is too - although there was talk (from him ) abuut being fit a week ago, so missing mid-week cast some doubts.

 

What about Agger? New on a return? Failing that, please play Arbeloa. Due respct to Sami's career with us, but he's been little better than hopeless this season & against Arsenal it could be double figures. Arbewloa's done nothing wrong this season, soi I don't know why he's stopped playing....in fact, I'd play him ahead of Sami and Riise. Go with 10 men & we'd be better than 11 including Sami & JAR

15 days to go for Agger. Torres and Alonso in contention tomorrow. I'd have Arbeloa ahead of Sami tomorrow if he's fit.

Arbeloa in instead of Sami AND JAR

[Maldini]

Arbeloa's out too, thigh injury.

Think we definitely need Alonso and Mascherano protecting the back four then with

All papers seem to be sure Xabi will start apart from the Independent that is...

 

The Spaniard did not make it off the bench on Wednesday and Benitez hinted yesterday that he might not quite be match fit to start on Sunday, but even half an hour's play might provides the second's inspiration which would serve Liverpool every bit as well as 90 minutes' perspiration. "Xabi's pace with the ball is important," his manager explained. "He doesn't let the defenders get organised."

Think Rafa's being a bit too cautious here. If your best players are fit again get them back in the side.

isn't the whole point that he might not be fully fit?

[Guest chabby]

Well if he's not fit and available for selection he shouldn't be in the squad. What a pointless exercise it was taking him to Istanbul and not even bringing him on when we desperately needed him.

yeah, not like that ever happens with semi-fit players coming back from injury is it.

[Guest chabby]

I know, I'll just argue like a child for the sake of it with no point of my own.
