Rafa: I haven’t lost the plot
Rafaek Benitez has refuted suggestions that his time at Liverpool is ending by saying he knows what he is doing.
Despite a dismal past few weeks, the under-pressure Reds boss is adamant that he can turn the tide on his club's fortunes.
Liverpool fell to seventh in the Premier League table after their 2-2 draw with Birmingham last time out.
The Reds are also close to being knocked out of the Champions League group stages.
However, Benitez has shot down questions about his methods and believes Liverpool can weather the storm.
He said: "You cannot win trophies if you are cautious.
"I have won titles not because I am cautious but because I have a clear idea of what to do.
"Sometimes we attack, sometimes we wait, sometimes we counter-attack.
"Two seasons ago, we scored 119 goals, more than any other team, so we are an attacking team.
"Last season we scored 77, nine more than Manchester United who won the league, so we are an attacking team.
"You need balance. If you don't concede too many because you are well-organised, people say you are defensive.
"We are more or less doing the same, we're offensive and scoring goals.
"People think we are more offensive because Glen Johnson is an attacking full-back.
"But the attempts on goal last year and this are similar.
"The difference is accuracy. We are scoring more goals this year, because we are more precise."
