Substitutes: Peter Gulacsi, Andrea Dossena, Daniel Ayala (subbed on for Kuyt 85), Jay Spearing, Damien Plessis, Nathan Eccleston (subbed on for Benayoun 78), Ryan Babel (subbed on for Torres 63)The match was a disaster for Liverpool from the get-go.Bobby Zamora gave Fulham the lead before Fernando Torres levelled the game up just before half-time.With the game locked at 1-1, Benitez naturally decided to take off Torres and put on the lacklustre Ryan Babel – who now plays for Fulham – on 63 minutes.Babel came on for Torres and the game really went downhill after that4
