We must create more for Torres - Carragher
Liverpool vice-captain Jamie Carragher insists there is nothing wrong with Fernando Torres but reckons the rest of the team have to improve if they are to help their star striker.
The Spain frontman failed to score for the seventh time in eight appearances this season in the goalless Europa League draw at FC Utrecht on Thursday night.
It has led to more questions about the 26-year-old's form and confidence but Carragher said the problem was not with Torres but the service he was receiving.
"In Europe, away from home you always want more but we've got a new manager and there have been a lot of changes," he said. "I think Fernando had one chance and the keeper made a good save but we are not creating as much as we would like.
"But obviously at home to Blackpool we want to create a lot more chances for Fernando. We are not a one-man show. Torres is not always going to get the ball and beat four or five players to score but history shows if we provide him with chances you are looking at getting 25 to 30 goals a season.
"If you give him chances he will score goals - at the moment we are not providing enough, but we are only seven or eight games into the season. I don't think there is anything to worry about with Torres. It is up to ourselves to do more to help him."
