Dalglish Praises Gerrard And Torres


Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has heaped praise on current Anfield stars Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, hailing them amongst the Anfield greats.

The pair are massive hits with the Kop, with Torres taking no time at all to win over fans following his big-money move from Atlético Madrid in the summer.

The Spaniard became the first player since Robbie Fowler to hit 20 league goals in a season for Liverpool, with many of his strikes thanks to great assist play from Gerrard.

"The understanding that has developed between Torres and Steven Gerrard is becoming telepathic," said Dalglish, who was at Liverpool in the glory years and as manager delivered the Reds' last league title.

"There were a couple of exchanges between them against Reading where one didn't even have to look for the other before a pass was played.

"They just seemed to be able to judge where the other wanted the ball played. It's going to be fascinating to watch over the next few seasons as they get better."
