Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admits Robbie Keane is struggling to live up to his £20 million price-tag.

Benitez said: "Robbie is a better player than the one we are seeing now.

"He needs people around him to pass the ball well.

"I believe he will be OK. He will score more if we create chances for him. But if that does not happen we have to use players with different qualities to open up the game."
