KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Sorry Roy but what is this!!!

Quoted after the game about injury to Torres:
"It happened early in the game which came as a surprise to us.

"We were not aware of any problems with the groin. I don't know if it happened during the course of the game when he stretched for the ball.

"I don't really know."

My main player and I "don't really know"!! FFS - is this the same as 'I don't care about our position in the relegation zone'.
Now Torres, although know doubt slipping away, is our main hope for goals and Roy comes up with this, not knowing how or when it happened and doesn't really know - FFS Roy!! This would have been the first thing that I would have been asking medical team at half-time and would want a definitive answer by the end of the game. It may be paranoia setting in (caused through a lack of sleep!) BUT it really begs the question on the care factor and has he lost the plot and dressing room altogether - "Taxi for Mr Hodgson"!

If he doesn't know all it means is he didn't speak to Torres about it. I read somewhere that "Torres was playing with pain", so I'm not convinced he was 100% fit going into the game. Having said that, last season when he had a similar problem Rafa pulled him off the pitch to the dismay of all, but this time he chose to protect himself (perhaps). Speaks volumes for how interested Torres is in being linked with the farce of Hodgson's "top 4 football". Can't say I blame him, but we're pretty lost without him even at 50% motivated.
