BENITEZ URGES SIDE TO GEL
Rafa Benitez has urged his captain and staff to work harder and show that they have some character.
Speaking to the official site Rafa said:
"Now is the time for the manager, the captain and all my staff to work together to help all the players."
"For the last two weeks we've all been doing this, and now we must try even harder.
"I said to the players straight after the game that there's nothing they can do about what happened now, but they have to show everyone they have character. We know they have the quality, but maybe sometimes you need even more than this.
"When you're Liverpool Football Club, you know you have a responsibility to try to win every game and play well. Maybe this is not always possible, but it's what we try to do.
"In the first 25 minutes against Manchester United, we were okay. We had possession in attacking areas, but didn't create clear chances.
"The players worked hard, but it's clear we need to recuperate their confidence now. We can only do this by training and winning games. It's not going to happen in two games, but over a longer period.
"Key players are not at their level. We have a strong spine to our team, but if you analyse things you can see where we need to improve.
"Once we conceded the first goal, we had a lot of problems because we were playing a side with quality and experience."
