Roy Hodgson Has Faith In Fernando Torres

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson believes that his star striker Fernando Torres will soon rediscover the form that made him one of the best goalscorers in the world.

Even last season, despite struggling with injuries, Torres managed 22 goals and finished as the club's top scorer. The 26-year-old seems to have lost his touch in recent times, scoring only five goals so far in the current season of the Premier League.

Hodgson however denies that the striker is struggling and insists it is only a matter of time until Torres becomes one of the Premier League's greatest goal threats.

"The case all through the season is we have not been very lucky in front of goal. I don't think our goal return is not a fair measure of what we have created." The manager told FIFA.com.

"We have had our chances, we have created the danger but we have not converted as many of those occasions as we should have done and it is something we have worked on.

"The players are very aware of it because we do have goalscorers in the team and have one of Europe's best in Fernando Torres.

"He does not need reminding of when he misses a goal chance because I bet he can remember every chance he has missed over the last three to four months because they stay with people.

"The important thing is your players keep getting in the right positions and if we can keep getting Fernando into areas where he can score goals he will score goals."
