Liverpool co-owner George Gillett has restated his faith in manager Rafa Benitez, following a run of four successive defeats for the Anfield club.

A 2-1 Champions League reverse at home to Lyon deepened the gloom on Merseyside and sparked talk of a possible change at the helm.

However, Gillett commented: "We have just entered into a long-term agreement with Rafa.

"Our family is extraordinarily pleased with him, we believe he is absolutely as good as there is in the business.

"The run of results disappoints everybody. Certainly, it disappoints the fans and it disappoints Rafa.

"I have seen his television interview and I know he is disappointed. We are all disappointed, but we are in this together."
