Again, matter of opinions Murph, but what i said it adds up.
Why didn't Torres play 65 minutes against Benfica and then would be alright to play against Fulham, because Europa League is Rafa's first choice.
The only person whon knows that is Rafa not you or I.
Maybe after taking Torres off against Birmingham as a matter of precaution and having enough time to asses the injury they came to the conclusion that his knee was able to take a full ninety minutes?
Sorry if that doesnt fit into the anti Rafa view of opinions.
