"Rafa did well at Valencia and his team is brilliantly organised," said the former Liverpool player and manager. "They are really well prepared.

"The players have great belief and confidence in what he is telling them to do. When you get those two things together it is reflected on the pitch, especially in Europe, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

"Liverpool won the Champions League two years ago and there are a lot of positive things happening at the club.

"There is the prospect of a new stadium in three years, prospect of the Champions League and the prospect of Rafa having a few extra shillings to spend.

"He has always had money to spend, it's not like they have been paupers, and now they've inhe-rited this money.

"He's always been able to buy players and he's bought a few but it is positive and we are looking forward to see what will happen."
