Some of us have been snowed in, some of us have been knocked down by winter viruses for more days than they would wish and others are just waiting for Fernando Torres to shine a light on their season. I confess, all those three are me so enough of the pity party as we’ve got one final fixture to close out gameweek sixteen.

The news that Fernando Torres wife has gone into labour (oh god, not that old chestnut again!) will cause many, myself included, to kick up a storm as Ryan Babel comes in to replace the Spanish maestro this evening. Some end to the gameweek. Teams in full are…

Liverpool XI: Reina; Johnson, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Konchesky; Kuyt, Meireles, Lucas, Maxi; Babel, Ngog

Villa XI: Friedel; L. Young,Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Albrighton, Clark, Hogg, Downing; Ireland; Agbonlahor

As always the Dugout Discussion is open late night today as we see what Houllier can do on his first return to Anfield.

        i read his odemwingie comment. that's like 3 weeks in a row now he apparently was inches from an inspired transfer. the believableness (is that a word?) is wearing off. OR like me he just considers about 10 transfers a week so ultimately 1 will always come good.

        if i captained nasri, kept odemwingie and bought nelsen i would have got 102 😉

        Well the train really deserved the three for flair. And the explosion for most kills in the opponents area, was really between the hammer and the baby for the last one.

        No manager, team playing badly, bad fixtures?
        Just see Torres as better returns the next few. Kyrgiakos massive at setpieces, plus Bosingwa isn't guaranteed his spot and even if he is Chelsea aren't keeping a cleanie the next 3 atleast.

      No, why so surprised? The abuse him and Lucas get is boring now, if people actually watched them rather than just reading what other people who don't really watch football say, they would realise neither of them are that bad to be fair, certaintly much improved.

        '12 points' & 'Ngog' hardly go hand in hand. They're not renowned for hangin around in the same sentence. I'm never gonna say "The phrase Ngog & 12 points spring to mind". I'll wager if I ever hear 'Ngog' & '12 points' used in close proximity again, it'll be referring to points on his license. I watch way too much football and know there's a good reason Ngog has played 90 mins only twice so far this season in the Premiership. & Woy knows too. Ruining my high man.

    Anybody know why Fuller's assist points have been removed since yesterday? He definitely had the assist for Etherington's goal. Hope it's just a blip and will be added back in!

      He shouldn't have had that assist. Another player - don't know who - flicked it to Ethers. I assume it's been changed for that reason.
