Benitez hails his bolder Reds

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez believes he finally has his team playing the way he wants, but it may have come too late for them in the Barclays Premier League title race.

The Spaniard has built a reputation of being cautious and unadventurous but in their last eight matches in all competitions they have scored 27 goals.

Uncharacteristically, they have conceded 12, with successive 4-4 draws against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League and Wednesday night’s epic against Arsenal at Anfield, which handed the initiative back to arch-rivals Manchester United in the championship run-in.
