Torres was again far from his best on Sunday as Liverpool missed a number of good chances before succumbing 2-1 to Tottenham.
Earlier this season Hodgson admitted Torres was struggling with his confidence following an injury-hit World Cup.
But he looked to be back to his best when he scored a brilliant brace in their victory over champions Chelsea.
Torres then scored against Wigan, but three successive blanks have followed, leaving Hodgson to offer his backing to the Spaniard.
"I think 'crisis of confidence' may be too strong," said Hodgson.
"I was pleased with Fernando Torres.
"Fernando himself, because he sets very high standards, will be disappointed he didn't take one of the goal chances which his good play - to be fair - created."
