The Spain international has looked a shadow of his former prolific self this season, scoring just six times in 22 matches and only once in is last eight games.
And although he spent a large part of Sunday's 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester United running around without much service after Steven Gerrard was sent off Dalglish was more than happy with the 26-year-old's contribution.
But Dalglish said: "Fernando Torres has got a magic wand. We have great aims to build on and it is up to us to get him going,
"He wants to do it, you can see he wants to do it, and we'll get him going sooner rather than later. He ran himself into the ground and that is a great sign he is determined to get himself back and silence a few critics he has.
"Fernando worked his socks off and there is only so much a man's body can take so we took him off at the end to try to preserve him a bit. He did everything that was expected of him in terms of effort and commitment and if you look at the lads, it doesn't matter how good a player you are, you still need confidence and we need to get it back."
