Fernando Torres Backs Roy Hodgson To Remain As Liverpool Manager

Talking ahead of the team's vital clash with West Ham on Saturday, the Spanish striker denied recent reports of a split in the Anfield dressing room, reports the Daily Mail.

He told a radio station in his home nation it is never easy for a team to adjust when a new manager comes in, but he is hopeful Liverpool are beginning to move in the right direction.

Torres went on to clarify that he has 'no problem' with the former Fulham boss.

'He's a very serious coach who in the summer explained to me very clearly what he wanted from me. He has always trusted in me and that's very important for any footballer,' the star explained.

Torres said while Liverpool are not as high in the Premier League table as they would wish to be, he was hopeful the team could produce a run of victories to put themselves into a stronger position.

Earlier this week, Hodgson declared himself to be 'frustrated and even a little bit angry' at the hamstring injury sustained by Steven Gerrard while playing for England in the midweek friendly against France.
