Benitez: no repeat of Marseille loss

RAFAEL BENITEZ yesterday dismissed claims that Liverpool’s dip in form is a result of the club’s recent internal management changes.

Liverpool have won just two of their last six games, culminating in Wednesday’s shocking performance in their Champions League defeat at home to Marseille.

It has been suggested that the bad run has coincided with the departure of Benitez’s assistant manager Paco Ayestaran, following a break-down in the relationship between the pair after a decade working together in Spain and England.
