This was a good win for Liverpool, particularly off the back of some wretched form.
But it may be too little too late for Benitez. As far as I'm concerned, Liverpool must win this competition for him to have even a chance of surviving as their manager into the 2008/9 season.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admitted his side's 2-0 Champions League win over 10-man Inter Milan was crucial after another turbulent week for him.
The Spaniard has come under intense pressure this season and none more so than this week following Liverpool's FA Cup exit to Barnsley at the weekend.
And he said: "I think everyone knew we needed this. It was really important for the club and fans that we won.
"I have always had confidence in this team and we will win a lot of games."
Dirk Kuyt and Steven Gerrard got the goals in the last five minutes what had at one point looked like being a frustrating match to ensure Liverpool are well placed to make the quarter-finals of the competition.
