Carra: we must beat Inter

As Inter Milan look set to visit Anfield on Tuesday in the Champions League, Jamie Carragher has called on Liverpool to return to form after their shock defeat to Barnsley in the FA Cup.

“There’s no point hiding from the fact that we are not good enough to win the league," added the former England player. "There is no other explanation for the gap between us and the leaders."

“The two games with Inter will be massive,” the 30-year-old defender told the club’s official website.

“I have been watching them when I can since we knew we would be playing them and they are an excellent team. We will have to play a lot better than we have been, and be at our very best, to go through.”
