Co-owner George Gillett today offered his full support to manager Rafael Benitez.

The Reds' boss is preparing his side for Sunday's showdown with Manchester United on the back of a last-gasp defeat to Lyon in midweek - and Gillett insists he remains pleased with the job Benitez is carrying out at Anfield.
 
"We have just entered into a long-term agreement with Rafa," he said.
 
"Our family is extraordinarily pleased with him, we think he is absolutely as good as there is in the business and I am sure the Hicks' feel the same way. We just extended his contract.
 
"I think the run of results disappoints everybody. Certainly, it disappoints the fans and it disappoints Rafa. I know he is disappointed. We are all disappointed, but we are in this together."
