Rafael Benítez has vowed not to walk away from the pressures at Liverpool but believes the club cannot be expected to compete for the top prizes every season due to problems behind the scenes.
The Liverpool manager issued a defiant response to the latest crisis to engulf his Anfield reign yesterday, albeit one laced with a neat touch of self-deprecating humour. Almost a year to the day since his infamous "list of facts" argument against Sir Alex Ferguson, Benítez, whose side face Stoke City today, started his pre-match press conference by producing a piece of paper from his pocket and delivering a rehearsed message.
The Reds squandered a one-goal lead to lose 2-1 after extra time in their third-round replay with the Royals.
Liverpool are already out of the Champions League and are 12 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea.
