RAFA KEEP�S DAN DOWN TO EARTH

After his wonder goal at the weekend Daniel Agger has been lauded by the press. Rafa insists the player needs to keep his feet on the ground. Rafa�s preferred centre-backs still appears to be Carragher and Hyypia.

Benitez said: "I'm worried that people are talking about him like an Alan Hansen or the other great defenders from the club's history because he's a young player," says the Reds boss.

"He is a young player but he's a young player who knows what to do. He's determined to improve and enjoys training. He's got a lot of confidence in himself. If you watch him training you see he's focused. He's a player with quality and he can shoot, as we've seen, but he can also play the ball.

"He's a player for the future, but he's a good player now. It's not easy to find a player of his age who's happy to play on stages like Anfield."
