Brad Jones will deputise for Reina and admits the Reds will have to keep a close eye on Anzhi's former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o. "Obviously Eto'o is a fantastic player and has been for a number of years, playing at the top," he said. "You know you are going to have to be on top of your game, but I have to do that every day with the likes of Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard anyway. "It is just about making sure you concentrate and do the right things."
