Fulham boss Roy Hodgson says it's crazy that Rafa Benitez is having to prove himself at Liverpool.

Despite their victory over Manchester United, Benitez is still under pressure with a massive Champions League fixture at Lyon looming next week.

His position has been under scrutiny with Liverpool losing five of their last six.

But Hodgson said: "If the owners or players were doubting he is the right man to lead them then that would surprise and disappoint me."
