Benitez wants more

Newcastle United v Southampton FC - Premier League

Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has claimed that he wants to win trophies with the club but also revealed that it is difficult to do that with the squad that he has.

Giving the example of cup games, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid manager stated that he doesn’t have the luxury of risking key players by playing them in cup competitions when they are at the bottom half of the table and in real danger of being relegated, hinting at wanting more signings to do better.

“We talk about the cups and (it's said) 'oh, we don't compete in the cups'. I want to compete and try to win trophies, but you cannot compete in the cups when you at the bottom of the table and you have a risk of two or three key players injured and then you don't have the replacements.

“It’s just so simple to understand. That's it,” he said.
