20 January 2008 - 23:12

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres believes that Rafa Benitez will stay at the club despite speculation that the Spanish manager has fallen out with American co-owners Hicks and Gillett.

"It's all a lie. Benitez will not leave and he will not be sacked," Torres told Spanish newspaper Publico.



"I can't see that happening. I don't think English football has lost its patience like it seems."



Benitez has seen his Liverpool side slip to fifth in the Premiership as town rivals Everton moved up to fourth, and a poor run of form for the Reds has seen them lose the confidence of many in the press who feel they are already out of the race for the Premiership.
