Kenny Dalglish has leapt to the defence of under-fire Fernando Torres and backed the Liverpool striker to silence his critics against Manchester United on Sunday.
Torres was blasted by TV pundit and former Reds midfielder Jamie Redknapp for his performance against Birmingham at the weekend, while Ray Clemence says the Spanish striker is “a shadow of his former self”.
But Anfield legend Dalglish, now an ambassador for the club, insists it was simply a bad day at the office for Torres and is adamant the 26-year-old will be back to his best soon.
“I don't think Fernando would think it was one of his better games but certainly he came as close as anybody in the Liverpool team to score a goal.
"He's been through a lot, he had a lot of injuries last year and even in the World Cup final he was injured.
He's come back this year and I think he's only played two or three games but he scored one against West Brom.
"He might have a bad day but he's not a bad player.
There's no one anywhere who wouldn't have him in the side.
"It might have been a bad day at the office for Fernando but he's a really good guy, he’s a real quality player and I'm sure he'll be looking forward already to Manchester United on Sunday. He's not got a bad record there."
