 | Rafael Benitez declared himself a highly satisfied manager after seeing his team beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 and still believes the race for a second place finish is still very much alive. | The Liverpool manager felt his team deserved to beat West Brom and keep up the pressure on Manchester United for second place.
"In the first half we played really well and controlled the game all of the time," reflected Benitez.
"In the second half we were a bit under pressure but we have done a good job and it's a good result for us. It worked well for us using the pace of Cisse on the right wing and with Xabi Alonso's passing ability it was perfect.
"We need to keep going now until the end and keep winning games. You can't say it will be impossible to finish second because you don't know what can happen. We are sure we will finish third but maybe second."
Meanwhile, Benitez was keen to praise Robbie Fowler after the striker's sixth minute strike took him ahead of Kenny Dalglish in the all-time Anfield goalscoring charts.
He said: "I would like to congratulate Robbie. I hope to see even more goals from him this season and maybe in the future.
"We haven't made a decision on his future yet. There is no hurry. We will make it in the next few weeks. It won't be about if he scores one or two more goals this year, it will be about what we feel he can give to the team in the future."
