Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez insisted that his side could still win the Premier League despite watching his side carelessly drop more points in a 1-1 draw with city rivals Everton on Monday.
Benitez's side looked to be heading two points clear the summit after skipper Steven Gerrard gave his side the lead against neighbours Everton at Anfield on Monday.
But Liverpool were forced to settle for a draw after Australian international Tim Cahill pounced in the dying moments to earn Everton a priceless point.
Benitez's side are level on points with leaders Manchester United but Sir Alex Ferguson's side have a game in hand and a better goal difference.
In addition, Liverpool have now failed to win four of their last five home games ahead of third-placed Chelsea's visit to Anfield on February 1.
Be positive Yet Benitez opted to reflect on the positives than dwell on the negatives after Liverpool's hopes of securing the title for the first time since 1990 suffered another damaging setback.
"It could be better but we have to be positive," said Benitez afterwards.
"When you lose two points you have to be disappointed. But let's not forget that we are level on points with Manchester United and we are still in the Champions League.
"I still believe we can win the title. We have players coming back from injury."
