Rafa Benitez praised the performance of Fernando Torres’s replacement David Ngog last night. The French striker scored the second goal in the 3-0 victory over West Ham at Anfield, and Benitez believes the youngster will only improve:
“When you play instead of Fernando people will always talk but I have confidence in him. He can score goals and he did well tonight. He had one or two chances, he has very good movement and always keeps the defenders busy.He knows he has played a lot of games this season and he has to work hard. He is someone who is trying to improve and can do a good job for the team.”
The goal against West Ham was the 21 year old’s eighth goal of the season, and if he does start the remaining matches of the season, Liverpool fans will hope he can deliver the goods in some crucial games.
