Benitez reminds everyone that Liverpool could win too
December 1, 2008 by Chris
With everyone focused around whether Arsenal are written off, or if Chelsea are about to hit hard times, or whether Man United are just quietly going to sneak past everyone – Rafa Benitez has chimed in to remind people that Liverpool are actually doing quite well this year.
“After two games without playing well, people are starting to say that we are looking a little bit nervous, but we are still close to the top of the table,” said Benitez.
“We have qualified for the next round of the Champions League, we are in a fantastic position in the league and we are playing really well. If you have some experience, you know that, if you want to be a contender, you have to think only about the next game.
“So it doesn’t matter what they [Chelsea and United] say and it doesn’t matter what people may think.
“I am not worried by what they say. It depends on the players and the team. We are at the top of the table and we know that, if we beat West Ham, we will be there at the top of the table for another week.
“My message to the players is the same. We have to concentrate on our own team and on our own games. I cannot change what people think.
“I can only give my players the right message. The thing for me is that the team is doing well, but it can also improve.”
After being a non-factor at the top of the table for a rather long time, with a history of costly runs of poor league form, as well as the fact that Fernando Torres can’t seem to get healthy, most neutrals have pretty much blocked the idea that Liverpool could win the league out of their mind. But if the Reds can stay near the top through the busy Christmas fixtures then it’s definitely time to sit up and take notice.
