Rafa glad of Milan return

Last updated : 20 April 2005 By Al Campbell
Baros was sent off for a reckless challenge on Alan Stubbs in the derby and has missed the last three games through suspension where the Reds have only picked up four points and scored three goals.

With both Milan Baros and Djibril Cisse in the first team squad again Rafael Benitez will be able to pick a side he wants to see rather than having his team decided by injury.

He said: "I have got a good problem of who to pick against Portsmouth now that Milan is back.
 
"All the players want to do their best and Milan is no different. I want to see goals from the strikers but I'll be just as happy to see Carra score as Milan, Cisse or Morientes.
 
"The important thing is to play well. If we play well we will create more chances for everyone and then it's easier to win.
 
"But now we do have three good strikers who can score goals. It is a question of time and luck.
 
"We need to improve in a lot of areas, but not only in attack and the amount of goals our strikers score.
 
"But I do think we would be in fourth if we had a consistent goalscorer. If you have one or two strikers scoring 15 goals a season then it does make things a lot easier.
 
"Baros, Cisse and Morientes are all capable of doing that. The problem is we have only had Morientes since January, Cisse has been out injured for six months and Baros has had injuries and had to play a lot of the season alone up front.
 
"I think all of those strikers could get 15 goals a season if they didn't have their fitness problems."
