Dirk Kuyt says Liverpool have come to expect Fernando Torres to score in every game as the striker looks to continue his goal-spree against Reading this weekend.
The Reds reached the last eight of the Champions League after Torres’s 26th goal of the season secured a 1-0 midweek away-win against Inter Milan.
And Kuyt for one wants more of the same from the Spanish forward as Liverpool continue their battle with city rivals Everton for fourth place in the Premier League and the Champions League spot that goes with it.
But this weekend they face a Reading side that has started to climb away from the relegation zone with two successive wins.
Such has been Torres’s form that Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez may well abandon his longstanding rotation policy and play Torres against the Royals here at Anfield today.
“Fernando is just special,” Dutch forward Kuyt said. “It is amazing to score this many goals in his first season in England.
“He is getting them in the league and in Europe, he is doing a great job for the team. He will only get better and better.
“Other teams now are very worried by him, but you could see with the way he put away his one chance of the night just how dangerous he is.
“The rest of the players seem to think he will score in every game, and the way it is going, that is starting to happen.”
