Benitez defends Torres withdrawal

[TheHig]

lets be honest everton have got so many injuries this season, around 11 first team players out... so i cant see how liverpool can blame it on injuries

Everton have the following players out

Arteta, Pienaar , Jagielka , Bilyaletdinov , Vaughan , Anichebe , Nevelle

Also not forgetting Yakubu and Lucas Neil are in a similar position to Aquilani were they are a long way from Match fitness because they have been out long term.

Both Liverpool and Everton can finish in top 4 with better luck on the injury front.

Everton missed Arteta a lot i think and Jagielka

By the looks of it Torres didn't agree.

Does Benitez have some kind of problem with Benayoun?I just can't understand why he always gets subbed, when he's one of the most influential players in their team.

Well against Lyon I could understand why Yossi went off, he had pretty much run himself into the ground so we needed some fresh legs on the pitch, even if they were just Voronin's. But against Fulham, your guess is as good as mine.
