Benitez planning tactical overhaul

RAFAEL BENITEZ embarks on his first European campaign as Liverpool boss tonight with a warning to his players that the continent’s finest have got wise to English tactics.

Since the Spaniard took charge at Anfield this summer, he has enforced many changes and delivered informed tactical guidance in an effort to improve the side and stamp his mark on the club.

Changes for the good have materialised in the Premiership, as was borne out by Saturday's 3-0 victory over West Brom.
