Robbie Fowler warns Liverpool: You have become far too reliant on star striker Fernando Torres

Ruled out: Fernando TorresFormer Liverpool favourite Robbie Fowler has insisted the club have become far too reliant on Fernando Torres. The Spaniard has suffered with injuries throughout this season, and a knee operation will now keep Torres out for the rest of the campaign.Fowler believes manager Rafa Benitez will need to reassess his tactical options in the summer.'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.'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.'No disrespect to the players who have come in, but they are massive shoes to fill. The main man: Torres scores against Benfica earlier this month'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.' Benitez too reliant on Liverpool pair Torres and Gerrard, says ZolaTorres out!
