Fernando Torres is now Liverpool's leading scorer with nine - all in the Barclays Premier League - after hitting three in his last three matches. The Spaniard's latest brace came in the 3-0 away win at Wolves and earned the World Cup winner suitable praise from caretaker boss Kenny Dalglish.
"It is the best [performance] since I've come in, the way he worked," said Dalglish of Torres.
"It was not just his goals it was the work-rate he put in. He really helped us by closing the goalkeeper down.
"The keeper kicks it the full length of the pitch and that is a great asset for him and we asked him to nullify that and he did.
"He showed he wanted to do something and he did it. The goal he scored last week (in the defeat at Blackpool) wouldn't have done him any harm so I'm very happy."
Dalglish refused to comment on speculation about Ajax's Luis Suarez or claims the club have had a £4million bid for Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam turned down.
"The owners are very supportive and we can bring players in if we find them but the most important thing is to bring in players who can improve us," said the Reds boss.
"Also we have a huge responsibility to do it responsibly.
"We are not going to comment on any individual player at any club, we prefer to tell you when we have got something to tell you.
"I don't think it is fair for us to comment on what is going on or speculate.
"We can bring players in if we want to and it does not depend on people going out.
"There is no sum of money because that would be stupid but if we need something then it is there."
Goalkeeper Jose Reina credited Dalglish with restoring some belief in the dressing room.
"He's been here only a little while so we cannot talk about changes yet, we need a bit more time," he added.
"But he told us to trust each other, to trust ourselves, to be confident. I'm sure we will get better and once again the supporters showed their commitment and support."
