Fernando Torres has exclusively told Setanta he feels that Liverpool do not need to sign another striker in the summer - despite selling Robbie Keane back to Tottenham during the last transfer window.
The Spain striker continues to impress alongside Steven Gerrard, when the Reds skipper is played in a more advanced role, and sees no reason to upset the partnership.
With Liverpool still chasing the title after Yossi Benayoun's dramatic late winner at Fulham and the massive Champions League tie with Chelsea coming up next, Torres is thriving on the pressure.
"People are talking about maybe we need another striker - a second striker, but Stevie can score more goals than any other striker," Torres told Setanta.
"He's our most important player and our captain. If Stevie can play behind the striker, we don't need another striker."
The former Atletico Madrid marksman admits he feels like an Englishman because he is so ingrained in Liverpool life.
"I think I can play better and I can improve," he asserted. "I feel like I'm at home, like an English player because I am feeling fantastic in the city and in the club.
"I hope to play a lot more years here in Liverpool and keep scoring goals.
"The pressure means we have to try to stay 100 percent in the big games but I don't feel the pressure.
"I'm enjoying it. I think the best things are coming."
Torres hopes the 4-1 win at Manchester United will still be a turning point in the season's championship race.
"It was a fantastic week for Liverpool fans," he recalled. "I think Liverpool were better than Manchester United, we played with more intensity and more quality. We scored four goals, they scored one.
"After the game, the title race started again. If Man U had won that game, it'd have been impossible for us. Now we are in the race again and in a fantastic position to try and beat Man U.
"You keep training and keep playing to make things better. Now, we are in a good position. It's true Middlesbrough away and some games at home, we've had a lot of draws at home, were a problem for us.
"But we're back now and have to keep playing well and keep winning."
