Benitez confident despite defeat

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez says he is confident his side can still win the title despite losing their first Premier League match on Saturday.

Tottenham beat the Reds 2-1 at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

The Spaniard said: “We have a quality. We have the mentality to win titles but we need to take our chances.

“Chelsea have shown since we beat them that they are a good team and we have to do the same.

“We have to show our character and fight back. In football you can always lose games but the question is how.

“To lose a game like this is really disappointing but we don’t have to be worried about the performance, the character or the quality of the team.

“I am really disappointed but it was bad luck because everybody could see we were better than them.

“As a team we were really good but we need to take our chances. That makes the difference in a game like this.”
