Rafa confident of goals

Liverpool have only scored four times in their five pre-season games to date but the Reds boss believes his team will soon start finding the back of the net again.

"In the last two games we have created several chances but either the opposition keeper has played really well to stop us from scoring or we have just missed the target," said Benitez.

"There is no problem. I am sure the goals will come and the important thing is that the players are creating chances.

"When they have more sharpness they will score more goals. At this stage it is all about preparing for the start of the season and I know that when the season begins my players will be ready.

"Last season Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Ryan Babel, Dirk Kuyt, Yossi Benayoun and Peter Crouch all got double figures for us, so I know we have the players to score goals.

"Crouch has left but we have brought in Robbie Keane, who also got double figures for Tottenham, so I am not concerned."
