According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.
Played well for 45 minutes. Good first touch, hard to knock off the ball, and linked up well. He could have scored but the Crewe keeper made a good save from his shot which rebounded to Peltier who scored the first goal.
Don't want to get over board cos this Crewe we're talking about, I'd like to see how Voronin is going to manage against the tougher Premiership defenders.
Looked OK. Nothing special, nothing bad either. Should be a good player for us.

Rafael Benitez tonight praised the debut performance of Andriy Voronin after the Ukrainian made an impressive start to his Anfield career during the 3-0 friendly victory at Crewe.
Voronin created the game's opening goal for Lee Peltier during an impressive 45 minutes on the field and Benitez is confident his new striker will have a big part to play once the competitive action begins next month.
"We know that Voronin is going to be another option for us," he said. "He has good game intelligence, he plays well between the lines and he has a lot of quality.
"He played well today in what was a good game for us. We used 22 players and I saw a lot of good things on the field.
"Two of the young lads scored as well which is good for them. They need to be involved in these kind of games to show what they can do."
The Reds fly off to Switzerland on Sunday for a week long training camp which will include friendlies against Werder Bremen and Auxerre. Record signing Fernando Torres is expected to play some part of Tuesday night's game with Bremen in Grenchen.
"We had to wait for Fernando because he started training after the other players and we also needed to check his ankle, but I think he'll be okay for our next game."
Benitez, meanwhile, didn't rule out the possibility that he could welcome another new player to the club before the start of the season.
"We'll have to see," he said. "We are working hard with the players we have but we'll also keep an eye on the market. We have another month before the season starts so there's plenty of time."
