RAFA FIRES TITLE WARNING

Rafael Benitez today promised he and his staff will work as hard as they can to deliver the style of football Liverpool fans are desperate to see at Anfield.

Benitez admits he is delighted with the squad of players already at his disposal, but he is keen to implement his new ideas as soon as possible in readiness for the new season.

"I have my own ideas. My idea is similar to what the supporters want," he said.

"Everyone wants us to play fast and with a good mentality. To be aggressive, but positive. I think the people want this style of play and the players also do.

"We need only time. Always the manager says the same. You have to be patient. Already I have seen the supporters are very happy and we want to give them plenty to be happy about in the future."

He added: "We have signed good players. Cisse is a very good player, as are Gerrard and Owen. We have a lot of players now with a good mentality.

"If we maintain this mentality the team will continue to move upwards. We want a competitive team. I said to the players that if we work hard we will have possibilities."
