Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is happy with Yossi Benayoun, despite the midfielder expressing frustration over the lack of minutes he's enjoyed this season.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "If you change a lot of players the rotation system is criticised. People will say 'the players need to play games in a row for confidence'. When you are winning games and giving confidence to some of the players by playing them in consistently people will say 'other players should be involved in the team'.

"But this is normal at a top side. I was talking with Yossi two weeks ago and he is okay. He knows he has to be ready and, if he plays, he has to show something."
