November Rain

What's with this occupational hazard?

When everything seems rosy, L'OM hurdles cleared, still at the top of the standing, suddenly........
Torres is out injured again. Maybe 2-3 weeks. That old thing hamstring again. Maybe it's a Liverpool curse. Owen had been plagued by it before and now Torres. Guess, speed merchant has a weak hamstring after all. Medical proof? Ain't got one but how can you explain the illness that only affects those blessed with winged feet. Never heard Carra got one before.

Hamstring aside, I know we have been winning matches without him but when he's in the team, we are certainly a better team. This kiddo got an aura about him. It's infectious to the whole team. A feel good factor to the fans as well.
Simply put it, Torres is indispensable to Liverpool's cause. So is Gerrard.

Liverpool will only get the chance to hammer West Ham on Monday after the dust has been settled. By that time, we'll already know the fate of Chelsea, MU and Arsenal.
A perfect position and timing to consolidate our position at the top should the other contenders faltered over the weekend or to keep up in case of a reverse.

Who's the saviour this time around. Gerrard again? Keane? Kuyt?
Do not care one bit even if winning ugly rear it's ugly head once again. 1-0 will do as long we are winning. Hope we'll be singing in the November rain.

it is a bad news..not to mention our defence. And yes, LFC with Torres is definitely better than without. I hope come january LFC will strengthen the depth which I am sure benitez has already planned well ahead
