Torres subsitution explained

The boss brought Torres off with ten minutes to go yesterday and the score 3-2 to Chelsea. The Reds then scored twice to make it 4-3 and knowing a goal would take them through before Frank Lampard equalised in the 89th minute. Benitez has explained why his main striker wasn't on the pitch when Liverpool were looking for a possible winner.

"Torres is okay. I thought it would be difficult so I wanted to change something and give minutes to a player with quality like Ngog," he said.
