Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez on his side's title prospects following Sunday's defeat by Spurs: "I have been surprised by the reaction from the first game, and comments about our prospects for the season. It is too early to judge. "Now we have another game, quickly. A win will make things easier but I do expect similar comments from the critics if we do not."

[wiw]

I think our bench looks much stronger than Sunday.

Much, much better

Sky Sports Soccer Special team being nice and complientary about our bench again. The presenter, whoever he is, was just vile in his smugness as he read out our bench then said Spurs' was better

Pisses me off that ****e. OK so their bench is better - but what about the ****ing first teams ffs?

Much, much better

It's got more attacking players on it for a start, that's makes alot of difference imo

[Shaggy]

Three left wingers though

Is Rafa on the bench then

Anyway if we win today then our points from the Spurs away and Stoke home games will be better than last years

The bench is a bit of a worry but at least we have a bit more to it. Everyone (in the media) seems to be forgetting that we have a few injuries (Agger, Aurelio, Skrtel, El Zhar) and thats why our bench is looking relatively weak.
