Liverpool star Fernando Torres has admitted that Liverpool are now targeting Europa League and FA Cup glory this season.The Spaniard insists that a top-four finish, along with some silverware, will result in a successful campaign for the Reds.
Torres concedes that Liverpool's campaign has not hit the heights they expected back in August after an early exit from the UEFA Champions League and a weak Premier League bid.
"This season is not the season we were expecting at the beginning of the season, but these things happen," he told Sky Sports News.
"We were thinking of trophies, first choice was the Champions League and the Premier League - we are out of the Champions League, and we are really far out from the Premier League, so we now change our targets.
"We have to think the Europa League and FA Cup are the two competitions we can win this season and obviously trying to stay in the top four."
Torres insists that despite their indifferent campaign, Liverpool can still achieve much this season, but they need to remain united.
"Staying together is the main thing now," he insisted.
"If we can stay together, manager, players, staff, everyone at the club, we have quality enough to stay in the top four and win trophies.
"At the end of the season if we win one trophy, it will have been a nice season, so we are on target.
"The people of Liverpool deserve to play in finals, whether it be in Europe or England, it is a long time since we played in a final and they deserve, they deserve more trophies."
Looking ahead to the Super Sunday clash with Arsenal - which you can see live on Sky Sports - Torres is hopeful they can overcome Arsene Wenger's men.
"Arsenal are doing quite well this season," he said. "They are close to the top and playing with young players and doing really good. The mentality of the manager and players is brilliant.
"But we are playing at Anfield and with the help of our supporters we can beat anyone."
