IAN RUSH: Who I think Liverpool FC manager Rafa Benitez should replace Fernando Torres with
I WASN'T really surprised to hear Fernando Torres is out for the rest of the season.[LNB]Disappointed, yes. Surprised, no.[LNB]Bearing in mind the last few seasons he's had, playing through gruelling Premier League and Champions League campaigns straight into the European Championships and Confederation Cup, he's hardly had a rest.[LNB]When Torres got injured earlier in the season you hoped maybe that was the break he needed. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case.[LNB]People were quick to criticise Rafa Benitez when he substituted Torres at Birmingham with 25 minutes to go. The Liverpool manager obviously knew something the rest of us didn't.[LNB]He knew Torres was struggling with his knee and was trying to nurse him through the remainder of the season.[LNB]We know what a big loss Torres is for Liverpool when he's not available.[LNB]The question now though, is who should replace him?[LNB]Among Dirk Kuyt, David Ngog and Ryan Babel, one name that hasn't been mentioned much is Dani Pacheco.
