Albert Riera: Floodgates will open for Fernando Torres and Robbie Keane
Story by Timothy Abraham
ALBERT RIERA believes Liverpool will find their scoring touch soon as the Reds prepare to face Crewe in the third round of the Carling Cup.
Robbie Keane is still without a goal since his move from Spurs while Fernando Torres and Dirk Kuyt have only scored one each.
Riera, who joined from Espanyol earlier this month, is confident the floodgates will open in the near future.
He said: "It's only the beginning. It's a long season and we must be patient - I'm sure we will get better but the most important thing is how we finish the season.
"Every player has periods when they don't score - but Fernando and Robbie are fantastic players.
"The shots aren't going in for them at the moment, but I'm sure they will score a lot.
"Stoke was a very difficult match for the forwards. Sometimes they had a line of nine men defending so it was hard to break through.
"We knew before the match it would be like that so it wasn't a surprise. We tried many times to score but it was one of those typical games where if you don't score quickly it becomes more difficult because they just get more men behind the ball."
