Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez declared himself happy with the performance his team displayed at Stoke yesterday. Liverpool were leading 1-0, only to concede a late leveller and go home with a 1-1 draw.

"I’m really pleased with the performance against a difficult team. In a tough game we did almost everything to win."

The Spanish manager also seemed fairly happy to have left the Britannia Stadium with a point after a troubled week, although he is aware it could have been three.

"If you asked before the game, in normal circumstances if I’d take a point, I’d say it’s not bad, but after winning for 89 minutes I felt we could have got the three points."

Liverpool will have been given a boost too by the appearance of new signing Maxi Rodriguez. The Argentinian showed some nice touches at times and would appear to offer Benitez an extra attacking threat in the second half of the season.
