Trio hand Rafa problems

by Admin , 17 March 2010 Liverpool Generic

Rafa Benitez says that the recent form of Maxi Rodriguez, Alberto Aquilani and Ryan Babel has given him a selection headache.


The Reds have two massive games looming on the horizon with the Europa League last 16 decider against Lille on Thursday, where the Reds are a goal down, followed by the trip to Old Trafford on Sunday.

It gives Benitez a rare selection poser of having players fit and playing well all trying to get into the starting line up and after a season plagued by injury that is a welcome bonus for Benitez.

"I'm really pleased with Maxi and Ryan," Benitez told the club's website.

"They were really good at keep possession and also Ryan was running at defenders. I'm pleased with the understanding between the players.

"We played Maxi, Ryan and Aquilani because we wanted to go forward. We knew it was important to win and score goals, and we tried to do this from the beginning.

"The main thing is we now have a problem because we had players coming in and playing well.

"That's a good problem for us."
