Blackpool defender Evatt: Liverpool striker Torres now not so scary

Blackpool stopper Ian Evatt doesn't feel nervous about his clash with Liverpool striker Fernando Torres on Sunday.

Evatt said facing him is less daunting than it would have been at the start of the season.

He explained: "If you had asked me about Torres in the summer, I would have been talking about having sleepless nights.

"But the manager has now put so much belief in me I feel I can take on anybody and do well.

"Recently some stats have come out saying I am top of the table for blocks and tackles.

"That is nice but it is a team game. The lads want to prove the win at Liverpool was not a one-off or a fluke."
