Liverpool skipper Gerrard: Torres primed for Man Utd clash
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes Fernando Torres is primed for a big performance at Manchester United.
Despite enduring an injury ravaged campaign, Torres' double last night took his total for the season so far to 17 in 27 matches - and his skipper insists there is still more to come.
"There is lot more to come from Fernando in a Liverpool shirt, believe me," Gerrard told liverpoolfc.tv. "He had been out a long time so it was only natural that it was going to take him a few games to find his rhythm but he is closing in on that now and it is fantastic for the team.
"If we can keep him fit and firing, we'll have a really big chance of achieving what we want to and you could see against Lille that he is looking sharp. The goals will have done him the world of good.
"He is world class, it's as simple as that. When he is playing like that, it doesn't just give the crowd a lift. It lifts us and it causes the players he comes up against to think twice about how they deal with him. He's finding form at just the right time."
