"That's why I took our two strikers off during the second half. I wanted us to press their defenders more and I thought Cisse and Baros were getting tired. They will maybe disagree, but my opinion was they were tired."

Great....... We can safely say that HE IS THE BOSS.

Rafael Benitez has admitted he is happy with a point from his first experience of Premiership football after Tottenham's Jermaine Defoe scored a second half equaliser to cancel out Djibril Cisse's opener at White Hart Lane. 
The Reds' boss was more than happy with his side's first half performance, but he says their display after the break was less convincing.
 
He said: "The first half was good. We had lots of opportunities and I was very happy.
 
"The second half was more difficult for us because they played more forward balls and we got tired. When teams play long balls it means you have to go backwards to recover possession and we got a bit tired doing that.
 
"That's why I took our two strikers off during the second half. I wanted us to press their defenders more and I thought Cisse and Baros were getting tired. They will maybe disagree, but my opinion was they were tired."
 

Cisse got his Liverpool career off to a perfect start with the opening goal seven minutes before the break, and Benitez says he can fill the gap left by the departed Michael Owen.
 
"I hope he can score lots of goals," said the boss. "He's a good player with a lot of potential and hopefully we'll see a lot of good things from him."
