Liverpool boss not promising to field same side
Rafa Benitez has admitted he may still change his Liverpool side following the 8-0 victory over Besiktas on Tuesday.
The Reds produced a superb performance to set up the biggest win in UEFA Champions League history, and Benitez concedes it would be tempting to abandon his rotation policy and unleash the same XI against Fulham at the weekend.
But he told
Sky Sports News: "Maybe I will say 'yes I want to keep my team' and then I will have problems in training, so it is better to wait and see what happens before Saturday."
Peter Crouch, Ryan Babel and Yossi Benayoun were among those to press their claims as they all found the target against Besiktas.
But Benitez was as impressed by Andriy Voronin as anyone else and admits the Ukrainian has given him a major selection dilemma in attack.
Amazing
"I have been surprised because everybody has asked about Benayoun or Babel or Crouch, and I think one of the best players on the pitch was Voronin," said the Liverpool manager.
"He did not score but he was amazing, passing the ball and controlling the movements.
"So I prefer not to talk about just one, I think we should talk about all of them because they were all magnificent."
Torres hope
Fernando Torres missed the demolition of Besiktas but Benitez is confident the Spaniard will have recovered from his adductor muscle injury in time to face Fulham.
"Hopefully he'll be available. He was okay yesterday and if we don't have any problems he'll be fit," said Benitez.
"I think they can all play together, Torres and Crouch or Kuyt and Voronin, as you want."
