Liverpool boss Dalglish maintains faith in Torres ability

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish says he still has faith in Fernando Torres.

Yesterday, Dalglish was asked about Torres' below-par performance in defeat at Manchester United.

"For the games I've been in charge he's been brilliant!" joked The King. "Playing up front on his own he worked tirelessly. Someone asked me yesterday if I had a magic wand but I don't need one - he's got one.

"He's still a top goalscorer and he's still someone everybody fears when his boots go across the line onto the pitch.

"This football club has never been about one individual. It's about a collection and a team - and we are a team. There is no I in team. It's up to us to help Fernando as much as we can but also help each other."
