Benitez baffled by inconsistent Reds

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez has admitted he is baffled by the Reds’ inconsistency.

After tussling with a hefty injury list and dismal mid-season form, the former Valencia coach finally thought he was getting to grips with the task of restoring the Anfield outfit to former glories.

Four wins in seven Premiership games allowed the Reds to close the gap on fourth-placed Everton to a single point and a Champions League victory over Juventus defied critics who claimed Liverpool were nothing more than makeweights in the competition they have won more than any English club.
