With big signings last season like Fernando Torres, Ryan Babel, Andriy Voronin and Yossi Benayoun working well at Liverpool's disposal Benitez will want to put an end to the trophy drought at Afield. After a good start to the last season, Rafael Benitez was disappointed with the lack of consistency shown by the "Reds" in the league. But one player who clearly stood out and made an impressive debut into the Premier league was Fernando Torres, winning the hearts of the fans at Anfield by netting 24 goals. Finishing fourth on the standing was not the best of what the Merseyside team is known for. The "Reds" are one of the most decorated clubs in England and with some of the best players at Benitez's disposal he will want to bite into some silverware too. With the new signing of Robbie Keane from Spurs the team can boost of another stylish and determined player of the beautiful game at Anfield.
