Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez refused to concede that the title is out of his side's reach despite being 11 points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea after a 2-2 draw with Birmingham on Monday.

The Reds have won just one in nine and went into the game against the strugglers on a run of six defeats in eight games.


Even though the miserable run continuedu00a0and Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera were added to Liverpool's injury list with hamstring tears - Benitez insists he is not troubled by the bigger picture.

"I think that for the last three weeks to a month, it's been the same," said Benitez.

"We only think about one game at a time so I can't talk about anything else, just three points, so I won't talk about the table or positions.

"We won six games in a row before and when we were under pressure we won against Manchester United, playing really well and the character has been fantastic but we couldn't achieve the three points against Birmingham."
