Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks admits this season hasn't been good enough.

Asked if he has been satisfied with manager Rafa Benitez's work this season, Hicks told liverpoolfc.tv: "Well we can do better. The club knows that, the players know that and Rafa knows that. That's what it's all about - the players and what happens on the pitch. The tabloids like to have lots of fun with other issues but it's all about how we play and it's time for this club to win."

However, Hicks added: "As far as I'm concerned Rafa Benitez will be here for at least the length of his contract."
