Liverpool Premier League Titles Hopes Dashed
Dec 4th, 2008 | By admin | Category: European Club Soccer JerseysIn what was reported yesterday that Liverpool forward Fernando Torres would be out for the remainder of the first of the season is now being reported that he is done for the year according to an article on ESPN.com. For anyone wearing a Torres Liverpool jersey, we ask that you still wear that proudly as he is still a great player and he will in fact return next season. Liverpool as you remember has a slight one point lead over Chelsea in the English Premier League and that looks to be all but gone as Liverpool will be missing their key playmaker up front. Now the interesting point of his injury is a he said, she said argument. Was Torres injured during a Champions League game in November against Marseille or was it as Liverpool coach Benitez claims it to be a injury from the training methods by his national team, Spain?
Whatever the facts might be, we just plain think it’s a two team race now for the FA Cup and those two teams are Chelsea and Manchester United. We believe Arsenal is still in disarray with their club and with Torres going down, they really don’t pose a threat on other clubs so expect more ties and possible one goal loses to mid level clubs. The real battle we will closely monitor for the third and fourth slot will be interesting to watch between Arsenal, Hull City, Everton and Aston Villa.
