I think it's fair to say that, on the evidence so far, Rafa spent very wisely in the January transfer window.  


  
It's early days, but with a free transfer, a swap and a club-record fee for a defender, the manager got three international players in for what works out at less than £2m apiece.
  
It's always dangerous to suggest any new player will be a success based on a handful of appearances. But it is of course far preferable to feel encouraged by the early signs than to feel bemused, or downright afraid.
  
The additions made this winter have all appeared to settle quickly, and the way Rafa has eased them into the team has helped. None can count on a regular starting berth, but it's to their credit that they are prepared to bide their time and put pressure on those previously considered 'first choices'.
  
With any new arrival at a club - and this applies to the summer as well - if the existing players can prove they are the ones who should be in the team, either by maintaining or improving their form, then it can be a win-win situation for a manager. It's up to any new player to prove he is good enough to displace the man in possession of the jersey.
  
Having been eased gently into the set-up, the three new first-team players have shown strong glimpses of what they are capable of; although in the case of Robbie Fowler, I'm guessing most of us had a pretty good idea to start with.
  
Mid-season is never a good time to change clubs, and it tends to be players out of favour at the selling club who move at that time of year.
  

Tomkins on January signings
The additions made this winter have all appeared to settle quickly, and the way Rafa has eased them into the team has helped. None can count on a regular starting berth, but it's to their credit that they are prepared to bide their time and put pressure on those previously considered 'first choices'.
Arriving in the winter transfer window means a player has no pre-season to gel with his team-mates, and is likely to be lacking fitness if, like Morientes, Pellegrino, Agger, Fowler and Kromkamp, they've not been playing regular football in the months before arriving, for whatever reason. The Premiership is particularly unforgiving in its physical demands, and winter arrivals need to hit the ground running.
  
The bonus is that, once match fit, such players should be fresher than those who have played 50-or-so mostly high-intensity games already.
  
As a fan I like to allow a player a year to settle at the club, even if not from overseas, before judging him too harshly. If a player settles quickly, great; if he doesn't, it doesn't mean he won't, in time. There has to be time for him to relocate his life, and to integrate himself into the team while learning what the manager requires.
  
Bright starts
  
Despite looking a little ungainly in his running style, Jan Kromkamp appears a fine all-round footballer: big, strong, fairly quick, good in the tackle and very comfortable on the ball. He seems to read the game well, and that's always one of the first things you look for in a defender.
  
It's difficult for attacking full-backs to not get caught out of position, given they cannot be in line with the rest of the defence if they've just gone on an overlap, so they need to do everything they can to give themselves the best chance.
  
Kromkamp's cross for Peter Crouch's goal at Newcastle was judged to perfection, and you could see it was a deliberate attempt to hit that exact space between back four and goalkeeper: you could see him size up the situation before delivering the chipped cross, rather than just hitting and hoping. There was a similar amount of composure to his second-half volley that forced Shay Given into a top-class save.
  
Daniel Agger, meanwhile, has the appearance of a thoroughbred, and seems especially composed for a central defender of his age. Centre back, along with goalkeeper, is the position where youngsters can really suffer, as its the one part of the pitch where mistakes are instantly punishable.
  
An inexperienced striker can give the ball away and miss chances, but if he does just one thing right in a game - namely tucking away a chance - everyone will praise him; it just takes one mistake for a young defender, one piece of poor control, to be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
  
It can be even riskier for ball-playing centre-backs, as being constructive with the ball at the back is always inviting more danger than simply whacking it into Row Z. (Note of common sense: never buy a ticket in Row Z.)
  

Tomkins on Fowler
I don't think the club has anything to lose by keeping Fowler for next season at the very least, given no fee would be involved. If, as expected, the Reds enter the market for another new striker in the summer, it needn't necessarily follow that Fowler will be surplus to requirements. His all-round game has been impressive, especially the intelligent movement and clever use of the ball.
Agger's gait reminds me of Jonathan Woodgate, the ex-Newcastle player Rafa tried to sign when he first arrived. Agger has a similar air of insouciance, in never seeming rushed or panicked. He seems to play the game at his own pace, and his passing is extremely assured: one 50-yard pass at St James' Park was like watching Xabi Alonso in the defence. But as Agger will have learned against Fulham, stray passes in more dangerous areas are quickly seized upon in England, where opponents nip in quicker than in a more sedate league.
  
With three centre-backs playing at Newcastle, it was important that at least one of them was prepared to move into the midfield space when the opportunity presented itself. Agger did this in the build up to the second goal, advancing 40 yards with the ball before delivering a fine pass out to the right. When Gerrard eventually struck the shot, Agger had to get out of the way, he was that far advanced.
  
It may take Agger time to come to terms with the physical nature of English football, but he's started as well as could have been hoped for.
  
And then there's Robbie Fowler, back among the goals against Fulham having been looking increasingly sharp. I don't think it was a coincidence that Rafa said a fit Fowler would cost £10m to replace, and that he would like to see the player after a pre-season training; to me, a strong hint that he will be kept on after his initial contract expires.
  
I don't think the club has anything to lose by keeping Fowler for next season at the very least, given no fee would be involved. If, as expected, the Reds enter the market for another new striker in the summer, it needn't necessarily follow that Fowler will be surplus to requirements. His all-round game has been impressive, especially the intelligent movement and clever use of the ball.
  
Fowler's form can be used to highlight how statistics can be misleading: just three minutes against Newcastle took his appearances to ten, with only one goal to show. However, only five of those games have been starts, and he's had three goals chalked off, two of which unfairly so. Having done nothing differently he should now have stats of three goals in five starts that his finishing deserves.
  
I stated a week ago that I felt the striking crisis was down to a shared lack of confidence that had spread from one to the others, and as a result, if one could break their barren spell, the others could quickly follow. It needed something to break the vicious circle the players were caught up in. Of course, even in my wildest dreams I didn't expect 15 goals in three games since writing that piece, with nine from the front men.
  
It was perhaps most apt that Fowler was the first striker to score a league goal for the Reds in this calendar year, given he had a 'duck' to break (second time around, lest we forget a mere 171 goals). And of course, the symmetry was perfect in it being against Fulham, the team against whom he scored his first ever Liverpool goal, when he had first shown his innate ability to find space at the far post.
  
Once Robbie was back in the groove, Fernando Morientes reacted quickest to a loose ball end a difficult period in front of goal, then Peter Crouch came on to deftly steer home a ferocious Steven Gerrard cross. Minutes into his next game Crouch was scoring, then creating a further two, while Djibril Cisse, who had been involved in two of Liverpool's goals against Fulham, ended his own goal drought with a beautifully struck penalty as well as heavy involvement in Steven Gerrard's superbly-worked strike, where the captain's understanding with Peter Crouch was again evident.
  
Against Birmingham, it was Gerrard creating for Crouch and Morientes from wide areas, as the Reds scored seven, four of which were from the strikers. With the confidence back, the Reds were tucking away their chances with cool, calm finishes. Even in the lean spells the team rarely stopped creating an abundance of chances, and a couple of long-overdue hammerings have occurred without the team playing any better. That's football.
  
With all four strikers having found the net in their last league start, the timing could not have been better. I'd settle for any one of Fowler, Crouch, Cisse or Morientes scoring in Saturday's Mersey derby if the Reds can register their 31st clean sheet of the season.

利物浦六天踢了三場比賽，三戰全勝且狂灌對手15球，不僅鞏固了聯賽第三的地位，足總杯還如愿打進4強。值得高興的還不止這些，以克勞奇為首的紅軍鋒線在近3場比賽中大開殺戒，4人總共打入9個進球，謝拉特甩掉了在海布里為亨利“助攻”的噩夢，還有西索科也回來了……

　　6天前，誰能想到剛剛敗走海布里的紅軍能依靠這個短暫的魔鬼賽程，用這種大開殺戒的方式復活？賓尼迪斯或許也沒想到，就在比賽前一天，愛斯賓奴還指責英足總安排的賽事過於密集：“(3天踢2場比賽)我確信在西班牙是決不會發生這樣的事的……你不可能看到兩天以後另一場比賽中百分百的謝拉特和卡拿格。所有的英格蘭球員如果三天里踢兩場比賽他們受傷的可能性都會增加，我希望英足總能夠看清這種情況。”

　　雖然賓尼迪斯對賽程很不滿，但他也明白，這三場比賽場場重要，不能有一點閃失。幸好當他審視如今的紅軍陣容時，愛斯賓奴已經擁有足夠的“調度”空間：

　　3場比賽全部打滿全場的只有門將雷拿和中衛卡拿格，其他9個位置，都是在輪換中度過270多分鐘的比賽。鋒線上三場比賽用了三種組合，4名前鋒：克勞奇、施斯、摩連迪斯和科拿，只要首發都能進球，克勞奇和摩連迪斯在替補出場時也有進球入帳。

　　再看左路，兩翼相比左翼一直稍弱，基維爾頂不住三場高強度的比賽，賓尼迪斯分別啟用了泰奧利、沃爾諾克以及剛剛傷愈的懷斯，與近期頗感疲勞的基維爾輪換，共同鎮守左翼。得到充分休息時間的隊員們也交出了令人滿意的答卷，沃爾諾克破門，懷斯超級世界波破門，基維爾在客場3-1戰勝紐卡素後得到了賓尼迪斯的重點稱贊。

　　右翼“振幅”同樣不遜左翼，芬蘭累了，賓尼迪斯為了讓他安心休息，2天前將整個紅軍陣型由442變成532，三名中衛一字排開，輔以兩個積極助攻的邊衛，防守時增加人數，用這種方法彌補芬蘭輪休的空缺，當芬蘭在足總杯上復出的時候，球迷們看到的是一個生龍活虎的紅軍右邊煞。

　　中場輪換一直比較頻繁，謝拉特三場比賽都是首發，不過前兩場只踢了70分鐘就被換下，艾朗素和夏文輪換，克隆坎普和祖安法蘭輪換，西索科復出之後，紅軍中場又迎回一大猛將。

　　6天三戰全勝，利物浦將帥眼下豪氣萬千。這都是輪換制的功勞，球員們得到了較為充足的休息時間，再加上全隊配合漸入佳境，爆發是可以想象的。但輪換制並非適用所有球隊，利物浦成功爆發還要歸功於賓尼迪斯在球隊人員配置上下的功夫。一年以來，賓尼迪斯緊緊抓住夏天和冬天兩個轉會窗口開啟的機會，引進球員，彌補陣容介竟薄弱位置。西索科、克勞奇、克隆坎普、阿格爾和科拿先後加盟，到了今天，威力已經顯現。看看徘徊在主力替補之間的球員：祖安法蘭、科拿、夏文、克隆坎普、沃爾諾克，既有經驗豐富的老將，又有沖擊力強勁的新秀，有了這批實用悍將坐在板凳上，賓尼迪斯在變陣和換人時顯得游刃有余。

　　板凳深度一向是車路士的優勢，賽程越緊密對藍軍越有利，聖誕前後的魔鬼賽程中，摩連奴同樣是用輪換制令藍軍短短8天內4戰全勝。不過現在這項優勢不再是摩連奴的專利，經過賓尼迪斯一年的增補和調教，紅軍的板凳深度同樣達到了令人敬畏的程度，對球隊實力來說，這是一種質的飛躍。如果再比較一下他和摩連奴的開銷，似乎愛斯賓奴這次又佔了上風。(黎璐)

Peter Crouch reflected on his recent scoring blitz for Liverpool and declared: "I always knew I could do it at this level."  
Crouch's double at Birmingham last night took his tally to 12 goals in the last 24 games - not a bad record for a player many doubted would succeed at Anfield.
  
The Liverpool striker believes he's now proved himself at the top level and is looking forward to adding more goals to his tally over the remainder of the season.
  
He said: "I always felt my move was justified, even before the goals started going in, but maybe the recent record proves that.
  
"The manager and the people at the club always believed in me, and I've always had the confidence I'd do well. Now the goals are going in, it just tops everything.
  
"My confidence is sky high at the moment. Once one goes in, you always feel another is going to follow. Last night everything just fell into place. Sometimes you get into positions and the ball never comes, or you can have a game like last night where it seems everything goes right.
  
"I've scored 12 in my last 24 games now, and it seems I've repeated my run of last year. I had a slow start for Southampton and then managed 16 goals in the second half of the season.
  
"I'm in the middle of a good run now and hopefully that's going to contribute to the right results for my club and my country.
  
"I think this kind of result has been coming for a while. For the past week we've been scoring and doing well."

BIRMINGHAM V LIVERPOOL: THE FINAL WORD

Liverpool recorded a magnificent seven to reach the FA Cup semi-final after a 7-0 mauling of Birmingham City. Here's the best of the post match reaction.

The Liverpool manager
  
"The FA Cup is very important for us. We have confidence and will try to do the same things again in the next round but we have to take one game at a time and see what happens. I am delighted with the final result and the performance of the players tonight. They worked really hard and it is the first time in my professional career that I have won by seven goals. Sometimes you have lots of shots but cannot score, like against Charlton recently, but tonight almost everything we hit went in. Also, sometimes you need a bit of luck in front of goal and tonight we had that with a couple of the goals. Despite the victory I still stand by my pre-match comment that you cannot play two games in three days at this high level. We changed some players tonight and it showed because we had fresh legs out there. For this reason we were able to keep going. The players wanted to keep scoring and were determined to keep a clean sheet. I was particularly pleased with the return of Momo Sissoko. This was really good news for us. He showed great character.
Rafael Benitez
  
The Birmingham City manager
  
"It is hard to face talking about this because you don't know what to say. I am shell-shocked, disappointed and humiliated. It was men against boys - which has been waiting to happen with the patched-up side we have got. The one thing we needed was to start well. But to be 2-0 down without even having a kick of the ball was dreadful - game over. I can understand the supporters' frustrations. But they were fantastic. The vast majority have still backed me even after this, and I can understand their frustrations. We are all frustrated with the situation we are in, and they have just seen their team humiliated. I probably haven't suffered a defeat like that since the under-9s. It is possibly the worst night I have experienced in management. There's a lot of dented egos, and mine is as well. There is little you can say when you are absolutely humiliated."
Steve Bruce
  
The Liverpool player
  
"We've been getting criticised for not scoring goals of late but hopefully we have proved the critics wrong. We're really pleased with our performance tonight. Nothing has changed in terms of why we're suddenly scoring goals. I just think we're getting more luck now. We've always been playing well but the strikers hadn't been having much luck. Now they're starting to go in and we're delighted."
Steven Gerrard
  
The broadsheet newspaper
  
A game of two spectacles, Momo Sissoko's red glasses and Birmingham City's red-faced defending, ended with Liverpool in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and police guarding Steve Bruce's dug-out. Sissoko swiftly discarded his protective goggles, ordered by the doctor after his recent eye injury, as Liverpool charged forward to plunder goals at will against opponents whose defending bordered on the suicidal. Liverpool were good, particularly Steven Gerrard and Peter Crouch, but Birmingham were utterly dreadful. So frustrated did the home fans become that two incensed supporters ran on to the pitch. The first, at 3-0, tried to throw his season-ticket at Bruce. Fortunately for Birmingham's manager, his stewards were quicker than his centre-halves had been in averting danger. The second pitch invader, at 6-0, was also stopped in his tracks.

Henry Winter, Daily Telegraph
  
The local newspaper
  
IF THIS is how Liverpool respond to playing two games in three days, Rafa Benitez must wish the derby was tomorrow night. The only fatigue on display here was in the home stands, as Birmingham's tormented fans grow tired of seeing their side getting battered. For Liverpool, the thrill of reaching an FA Cup semi-final for the first time since 2001 was eclipsed only by the manner in which they did so. After serving nibbles for much of the season, Anfield's strikers are now hosting banquets. Peter Crouch, Fernando Morientes and Djibril Cisse filled their bellies at St Andrews, although most of the helpings arrived courtesy of another inspirational performance cooked up by Steven Gerrard.
Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo
  
The Liverpool supporter
  
Well what a night for us LFC fans, we have had tonight, no worrying about a late goal robbing us. We controled the game from start to finish and never sat on our lead at no point in the game. Aways looking to make more chances and really play some good footy as well. I remember Rafa saying how can players play at a high level with just one full days rest. Well if thats not us at our highest level, Birmingham were let of lightly then.

Liverpool went goal crazy at St Andrews on Tuesday night as they chalked up their biggest away away victory in the FA Cup with a brilliant 7-0 victory at Birmingham. Enjoy all the action again now with our 20 minute highlights package.  
Two goals inside the first four minutes set the Reds up for a great night's work as Sami Hyypia netted after 55 seconds and Peter Crouch headed home shortly after.
  
Crouch added his second before the break with a controlled finish from close range to kill the tie off before the half time whistle sounded.
  
But if Birmingham thought the Reds would take their foot off the accelerator in the second half they were to be sadly mistaken as Fernando Morientes, John Arne Riise and Djibril Cisse all got their names onto the scoresheet while Oliver Tebily also gifted the Reds a goal when he sliced Harry Kewell's cross into his own net.
  
The Reds are in the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 2001 and, on the evidence of this performance, they're the team to fear in Friday's draw.

在7比0擊敗伯明翰的足總杯賽中，施斯為利物浦打進了一個球，不過賽後卻傳來消息，這位法國前鋒很有可能在夏天離開安菲爾德，他將成為利物浦鋒線清洗的對象。

　　透露這一消息的是經紀人斯托杰奇，正是他當年運作了施斯從歐塞爾轉會利物浦的交易。2年前，當時的利物浦主帥霍利爾為了得到施斯，花費了1400萬英鎊，但如今法國人的身價幾乎縮水了一半。

　　“施斯離隊是非常可能的，”斯托杰奇說，“不過他和利物浦球迷的關系很好，和每個人相處都很好，他不想現在就提出來，以避免給球隊添亂。”

　　“諾定咸熱刺到夏天的時候會和利物浦接洽的，而施斯對於去那里踢球也很有興趣，熱刺是一家正在上升期的俱樂部，而且在那里施斯也可以得到更多的上場時間。”

　　“這個賽季結束後，事情會自然而然的解決，我想利物浦不會阻攔施斯轉會，只要熱刺能出800萬英鎊，利物浦為了夏天買人，先需要賣一些人。”

　　斯托杰奇還透露，熱刺一月份的時候就想買施斯，但由於運作時間過於倉促，最終沒能成功。“我們知道熱刺對施斯非常感興趣，在冬季轉會時他們曾和我們聯系過，不過那已經是1月31日下午15點了，在轉會窗口關閉前，只剩幾個小時了，在這種情況下，我們不想交易。”

　　施斯自加盟利物浦後，表現並不能令人滿意，骨折曾讓他休養了很長時間，復出後在進球數上貢獻平平。本賽季以來，前鋒不進球的問題曾困擾利物浦，賓尼迪斯看來已經下定決心要對這條鋒線進行大換血了。

　　另外，西班牙媒體還透露，利物浦已經贏得了對華倫西亞後衛法比奧-奧雷里奧的爭奪，後者曾隨賓尼迪斯奪取過西甲和足協盃的冠軍，他的合約今夏到期，將成為自由人，而且此時可以和其他俱樂部商談合約。據悉，奧雷里奧已經和利物浦草簽了一份為期3年的效力合同，目前只差官方的宣布。

利物浦前鋒施斯的經理人表示，今夏該名法國前鋒或會轉投熱刺。

24 歲的施斯於過去兩仗均有入球，不過有傳聞他並不在賓尼迪斯的計劃之內。

「今夏會再和熱刺接觸，施斯本人對交易非常有興趣。他們是一支正在冒升的球隊，將可給予他更多出賽時間。」其經理人史杜積對《太陽報》表示。

施斯兩年前從歐塞爾加盟時，身價達 1400 萬鎊，史杜積認為紅軍會接受大約 800 萬鎊的出價。

「熱刺在 1 月轉會市場關閉前曾和我們接觸，在這麼倉促下我們不希望作出任何交易。」
