ROY HODGSON defended Fernando Torres after another night of torment for the Kop hitman.
Torres fluffed two golden chances against Dutch side Utrecht as his barren spell stretched to four games - even though the point left Liverpool top of Europa League Group K.Boss Hodgson claimed: "Fernando is still seeking that elusive goal and there were a couple of good opportunities. Unfortunately, it didn't happen for him.
"But he is getting closer and it will come right for him. It was another good 90 minutes under his belt and he will be better for it."
Hodgson reacted angrily to suggestions Torres may have picked up a knee injury.
He rapped: "I didn't spend the whole 90 minutes watching one player, obsessing about him and whether he picked up a knock or not.
"I have to concentrate on all my players and I was satisfied with the team performance. I thought it was a good point."
