Kuyt dismisses talk of Torres exit

LIVERPOOL forward Dirk Kuyt has dismissed speculation about Fernando Torres’ state of mind and insisted the striker has an important role to play even if he is not scoring.

“Everyone is expecting goals from Fernando but he offers a lot more. Against Sunderland he was responsible for setting up the two goals,” said the Holland international.

“He is very important for the team even if he is not scoring goals. I’m sure his goals will come. His mood has never changed. If you are a striker, and the type of striker Fernando is, you want to be involved in goals.
