Faith in my players will be rewarded, insists Benitez

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez believes the faith he has in his players will be rewarded when the side take a grip on the race for Champions League qualification.

Confidence, always so fragile among footballers, had been gradually eroded at Anfield over the last couple of months after a succession of injuries and early exits from the Champions League and the FA Cup.

However, Wednesday night’s 2-0 victory over fourth-placed Tottenham has breathed new life into a squad which has been pilloried from the moment they lost to Fiorentina in Florence back in late September.
