The club captain was delighted to see Torres score his first goal in six weeks against Blackburn Rovers on Sunday - and he hopes it'll have a dramatic effect of the frontman.
"It'll do wonders for Fernando's confidence," said Gerrard. "All week in training he looked dangerous and lively running in the channels, and against Blackburn he was exactly the same.
"He had Blackburn tormented, he kept the ball really well, and this team is so different when Fernando is on form.
"He's had a difficult summer with injuries and a difficult start to the season with a few niggles, but now he's starting to look fit and sharp and I'm sure the win and the goal will do him the world of good and hopefully he'll go from strength to strength.
"If we keep him fit and he's on form, we'll move up this table really fast."
