Benitez backs GerrardLiverpool manager Rafael Benitez thinks midfielder Steven Gerrard is being unfairly targeted by the press.
"I am really worried about the team over the past few games, because we are not playing at our level," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo.
"You can talk about Steven Gerrard, because he is the captain, but you can talk about the other players also.
"I was disappointed when people were talking about (Mohamed) Sissoko and (Sebastian) Leto after the Marseille game.
"So I say the team is not playing well and you cannot pick out one player. It is the same situation with Steve.
"The team is working hard so we need to improve tactically and we need to improve our confidence."
