Fri 10 Oct 2007Pressure on Benitez to deliver increasesUefa Champions League:Liverpool's manager, Rafael Benitez, will have to guide his team to the Premier League title to justify the €57 million the club invested in new players in the summer, according to the club's co-owner Tom Hicks.Speaking 24 hours after Liverpool's prospects of qualifying for the knock-out stage of the Champions League were severely dented by a 2-1 defeat by Besiktas in Turkey, Hicks said the domestic trophy remained the club's priority. Benitez based his pre-season approach to the American owners of the club on a challenge for the Premier League title, impressing on them the need for more strength in depth if he were to mount a credible challenge to Manchester United and Chelsea.
