Gerrard concerns; Draw against Birmingham
Liverpool drew against Birmingham on Saturday, starting Voronin and Kyut.
Said Rafa:"The game was very frustrating, we tried to play wide, we tried to get the ball into the box and we did everything we could to break them down.
"In the end we ran out of ideas. The game was too narrow, it was too congested in the box and there was no space."
Rafa believes Steven Gerrard's recent England outings have taken a toll on the midfielder.
Gerrard was doubtful for England with a broken toe but played in both Euro 2008 qualifying wins over Israel and Russia.
"It could be that playing twice for England has had an impact," Benitez told the Liverpool Echo.
