Staunton: Benitez has Liverpool working like glory days

Steve Staunton says Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has the club running the way it was the last time they won the title.

Staunton told liverpoolfc.tv: "I remember the last time very well - and we won it at a canter.

"I was playing for a club I supported. There were a lot of Irish players there, a lot of people I looked up to. They were my boyhood heroes.

"But you soon find out you are part of the furniture. It doesn't matter if you cost ten pounds, ten grand, ten million, you're treated the same.

"That's the way the club was run - and that's how Benitez runs it now. It's about the team, not individuals."
