Benitez understands Cissé frustration

Rafael Benitez dismissed Djibril Cissé’s obviously angry reaction to being substituted against Deportivo La Coruna as something he would have expected from a player upset with a result.

The France striker was clearly furious when he was taken off with 25 minutes to go after a fruitless night trying to break down Deportivo’s massed defence in Liverpool’s goalless Champions League draw at Anfield.
