Liverpool boss Benitez: I have Drogba video nasties

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has criticised Chelsea striker Didier Drogba over the way he goes down too easily when challenged.

Benitez said: "He is amazing because he is massive [and yet he goes down]. It is very impressive. I have a lot of clips of him from over the years. We have played Chelsea 15 times and every time I have collected more clips.

"I have shown them to some of the players. I think [Martin] Skrtel and Carra [Jamie Carragher] were really good against him the other day but the referee was giving fouls. That is why it is important to have a good referee with Drogba, because you can't do anything [to stop him going down]. Drogba was given seven fouls and [Fernando] Torres only three, yet Torres has bruises all over his body."
