I personally would sign a top quality right sided attacker and god forbid Torrs ever did get injured then you have to adjust the team accordingly.

I would keep the same formation but put Babel into the centre and Yossi out on the left. Yes its not as strong as when Torres is there but that would be expected.

Changing the system to suit two top strikers doesnt bring the best out of the team though as you have 3 top quality midfielders in Gerrard, Mascherano and Alonso. So who misses out in those three.

Babel is showing signs of becoming a player for us and its no surpeise its since we have stopped playing 4-4-2 that he is enjoying himself a lot more.

I do agree we play some great stuff with the current system, and I am sure Villa could fill in for Kuyt on the right doing a better job and being a bigger goal threat.....
If, God forbid Torres gets injured, Villa could lead the line better than Crouch, Voronin and Kuyt ever will both in the current system and if we revert to playing with two strikers....
