Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has defended the form of Fernando Torres.
Dalglish, now an ambassador for the club, insists it was simply a bad day at the office for Torres against Birmingham City and is adamant the 26-year-old will be back to his best soon.
He told talkSPORT: "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."
