Ruled out: Fernando Torres[LNB]Former Liverpool favourite Robbie Fowler has insisted the club have become far too reliant on Fernando Torres. [LNB]The Spaniard has suffered with injuries throughout this season, and a knee operation will now keep Torres out for the rest of the campaign.[LNB]Fowler believes manager Rafa Benitez will need to reassess his tactical options in the summer.[LNB]'Torres is a fantastic player,' he said. 'Any team would miss a player like him, and of course it is disappointing that he hasn't played as many games as he would have liked.[LNB]'But when he isn't there, other players must step in and fill the void, and this season that perhaps hasn't been the case.[LNB]'No disrespect to the players who have come in, but they are massive shoes to fill.[LNB] The main man: Torres scores against Benfica earlier this month[LNB]'I think they need a striker this summer to cover for Fernando, that's pretty obvious. When he plays, then what a player he is. But when he hasn't played they have struggled.'[LNB] Benitez too reliant on Liverpool pair Torres and Gerrard, says ZolaTorres out!
