Former fan favourite Luis Garcia has backed under-fire Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard to bring the good times back to Anfield, while warning the Kop faithful that Rafael Benitez is not the answer. It has been more than seven years since the diminutive Spaniard bid an emotional farewell to his adoring Liverpool fans to rejoin Atletico Madrid. It was a successful three-year stint on Merseyside for the La Masia graduate, with Champions League glory in dramatic circumstances on that memorable night in Istanbul in 2005 being the pinnacle.
