Benitez: Pennant is tryingLiverpool boss Rafael Benitez says flanker Jermaine Pennant is trying his best to play himself into form following his slow start to his Anfield career.
Benitez said: "We told Pennant to be confident, to get in his crosses and to beat defenders.
"He was trying really hard, I was pleased with that. But he must do things in a simple way, get his crosses in and hope the forwards can reach them.
"He was getting in plenty of good crosses but sometimes the forwards were not up in support.
"As long as he keeps trying and working I am happy. But the moment he becomes afraid to try things then he will not improve."
