Rafa calls for improved attack
With their defensive frailties’ seemingly behind them, Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has called on his team to sharpen their attack. The Reds have kept clean sheets in their last three EPL fixtures but have found finding the back of the net a little harder. In fact, their 42 goals in 24 matches this season is fewer than any other team in the top six. "We have just had another win (against Bolton) and another clean sheet. That is a positive. Okay, it wasn't as good in attack as we want it to be but we have to keep pushing and we know can improve," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo on Wednesday. "The players know that we are improving. We are doing much better in defence and that is a big difference but we have to improve in attack, which is clear." Liverpool take on Merseyside rivals Everton on Saturday.
