Rafa: we can win the league
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has insisted that his side are more than capable of still winning the league after defeating Portsmouth 4-1 in the Premiership at the weekend.
"They showed today that we can do it and that we can win some games in a row," Benitez told Sky Sports News.
"They showed the character they need to at least try to compete for a title.
"We are really pleased. The team was playing well and scored four goals against the best team away.
"It is really important to see the confidence around the players and everything is happy now.
"Today we had a lot of chances and the team was playing with passion and also intelligence."
On the hectic schedule over the Christmas period, the Spaniard commented: "Everybody needs to win every game in this period at least because it is three games in 10 days and we will see what happens with Chelsea and Arsenal or United."
