Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez insists criticism from Reds legends in the media doesn't bother him.

Reflecting on their victory over Portsmouth, Benitez told the club's website: "It was very funny watching the replay of the game and hearing the commentators and 'experts'.

"We played well and had plenty of possession, but it sounded as though we were playing badly according to the commentators. We controlled the game but you have to score. In the end we scored three goals, which is not bad with 'seven defensive players'. We showed once again this side has character and determination. Maybe someone should go to school and learn more about football.

"I can assure you that normally I don't hear things like this because I have the volume down - I try to enjoy the football without the comments. But I saw a replay of this game and, because it was a funny situation, I wanted to hear what was said. I can guarantee you someone has to go to a coaches school and try to learn a little bit."
