Dear Liverpool supporter,
I was delighted with our performance at the weekend because we played a good game of football and beat a good team.
At this moment we have just the one game a week and so it's easier to prepare the players for each match.
We were fresh against Spurs and able to control the game. There weren't many chances during the 90 minutes but I always felt confident that we would score the important goal.
We had a couple of opportunities in the first half and some more in the second, while I think Spurs only had a couple. It was nice to see Harry's volley go in and then we defended properly to make sure we kept the result.
It was important for Harry to score after the injury problems he's had. For that goal to come at the Kop end is even better for him. He is training well every day and repeating games. He is playing at the level we know he is capable of.
I'm not looking at the league table at the moment and I'm not interested in what other teams are doing. All I am looking for is improvement on a weekly basis from my team and at the end we will see what we can do.
We have an important group of games coming up now against sides around us in the table, starting this weekend against Manchester United.
If we can get good results from these games then we will be well placed to keep our position towards the top of the table. That's our aim.
Regards,
Rafa Benitez
