Torres means more to Liverpool than Ballack does to Chelsea. I'm sure Phil would be a little upset if it was Frank Lampard or John Terry that came back with knocks (for the third time).
Also, with regard to your list of replacements at the end, Kuyt is needed on the right wing, Babel also picked up a knock due to a terrible challenge from Pederson, and Keane is already starting, so that really leaves El-Zahr and N'Gog to step up.
Other than that, I think you're spot on; Phil's words were remarkable, and I'm glad someone picked up on his attitude. I think it's great.
chelski_fan hey Tom Chelsea r whitout their entire starting XI except Lampard ok.and for the record Terry is injured,so is most of the blue defence. a starting XI worths more than a striker
