Benitez's praise for strikers

Cisse was officially unveiled as a Red at an Anfield press conference this afternoon and the Reds' Spanish manager believes he now has the best strike force in Britain at his comand.

"In Cisse we have signed a very good player. He is very fast, he scores a lot of goals and he also makes chances for others." said Benitez.
 
"Following his arrival I think we have the best forward line in the Premiership. If we work with the defence and midfield then we can enjoy what the strikers can bring to our team.
 
"I know it is going to be difficult to keep them all happy but I think that's a good problem for me to have. It's hard for a player to understand that a title comes at the end of a season and that before then we have to work hard to pick up points in as many games as we can.
 
"In the 38 games we will probably need to play well in about 30 of them. The strikers will all want to play but I can say I will change things around and they will all get to play between 15 and 20 games a season. At Valencia I changed it around from match to match.
 
"It may be that for a certain game I pick a partnership which I think is right for that match. If we get the three points at the end of it then it means we're three points nearer to our target at the end of the season.
 
"They will all know they have a part to play, so long as they train well during the week and work hard."
