RAFA: FA ARE MESSING MY TEAM UP

Rafa is still upset about the FA making the reds play on a Sunday, 48 hours before an FA Cup Quarter Final tie. Why couldn't we play on Saturday we want to know?

"I can't understand why we have to play two games in three days as the players are not fit and it's impossible to play at the same level, and I think the situation should be looked into " reasoned Benitez.

"There will be some changes against Birmingham and I will need to use my squad. We know Birmingham are a very difficult team to play against and they are a very physical team who work hard for 90 minutes."

"I haven't beaten them yet as Liverpool manager but I hope to change that tomorrow," added Benitez.

"We controlled both games against Birmingham in the Premiership this season but scored own goals in both. Maybe I need to say to the players don't stand too close to Reina!

"We have confidence and the strikers are scoring goals again which I hope to see continue until the end of the season."
