Torres the key for our success, claims Gerrard

Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool can still win the Premier League, provided that Fernando Torres stays fit. The Liverpool captain hailed the scorer of their equaliser in the 4-1 win against Manchester United as the best player in the world.

“He’s magic,” Gerrard said. “I know I’m going to be biased but I don’t think that anyone will argue against me that he’s the best striker in the world. If we keep him fit from now to the end of the season it’s going to be an exciting finish.”

“If we can play like that every week we can win more games and maybe win something else,” Torres said. “Except it might be difficult to play like that every week.”
