The boss admitted that it was common for his team to put together a good run of form over three games, only for an untimely slip up to undo all the good work.

"We know that after two or three good games normally we do a big mistake, and now we need to start two or three games in a row winning, and this is the first one then we have confidence," said Benitez.

And Rafa admitted that no matter of the cause, the end result is not good enough.

"Each game is something different, each game is different mistakes, manager, one player, another player, we don't know, but the result is that we lose."

But Rafa said he was hopeful that the trip to Turin would prove to be the perfect opportunity to start a consistent run of form till the end of the season.

"I say maybe winning the next three games and then we will see. Yes, this is the moment now. You don't know why we play two three games at a very good level, then the next week we don't play at this level, we know that we are inconsistent and we need to have confidence in the next three games," he concluded.
