Rafa remains adamant
Rafael Benitez remains adamant that Liverpool can still finish in the top four despite losing further ground in the EPL following their 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Saturday. The Reds have lost five and drawn two of their opening 13 Premier League matches and are now 13 points adrift of leaders Chelsea. "When we have all our players coming back I am confident we will start winning games," said Benitez after Saturday’s game at Anfield. "If we can improve and play at our level, we will finish in the top four." Goals from Martin Skrtel and Yossi Benayoun were cancelled out by strikes from Emmanuel Adebayor and Stephen Ireland as the Reds dropped two more points. But more worryingly, they lost another two players to injury, with Daniel Agger and Ryan Babel both hobbling off.
