Steven Gerrard dismissed talk of the Premiership title race being over after Chelsea beat Liverpool 4-1.
"We're a long way behind but I'm not going to concede any title in October," the Reds skipper said after the defeat.

"I'm the captain of the club and it's my job to drive the lads on. I don't think there's a massive gap between the teams and I don't think the gap is 4-1.

"We played really well and the scoreline does not give a true reflection of the game."

Gerrard conceded that Chelsea scored their second goal, shortly before half-time, at a good time and described the Blues as a "great side".

"We were disappointed to come in 2-1 down. We were still in it but we were punished twice when we were chasing the game," he added.

"Every team in Europe has weaknesses but they have very few and they are hard to find.

"They don't leave much space and they are a great side."

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez had claimed Chelsea were scared of his side before the match following their midweek goalless draw in the Champions League.

However, this result leaves the Anfield outfit 17 points behind their opponents and it was the first time they had conceded four goals at home in the Premiership.

"In the first half we played really well and in the first 25 minutes we were in control," said Benitez.

"We were pressing them at the start of the second half and the third goal was the most important one.

"It's more difficult to score two goals for a draw. We try and go higher with more risk but we gave them chances on the counter-attack and it is difficult when you have to play high up the field.

"We need to think about the next game. I'm not thinking about Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester United, I'm thinking about how to improve the team and prepare the team for the next game."

Although I was utterly upset by the scoreline, I am more bewildered by Rafa insisting to play the unplayable (for us at the moment because we really lack quality wide players) 4-5-1 system religiously game-in, game-out because this man Rafael Benitez is a proven winner who has repeated his successes (Howard Wilkinson also won the league with Leeds but did nothing much after that), is recognised as a very bright and intelligent coach and does not is not a one-dimensional football person.

Rafa should know how to go abouts doing his job, and apart from him, only God knows why he is persisting with this formation.

However, we must look at the overall perspective and see the big picture. I am still convinced that Rafa is a good coach who have more chance than not of taking Liverpool forward. Then, there was also a game several years back when Arsenal lost 6-2 to manure. It is just one game, and it is just another 3 points lost.

Hard as it is to take, learn from it, try to make the necessary improvements and bounce back.

Get a life, scally sally. I wouldn't like to call you names but you are the "pr1ck" if you see this one game as the be-all that ends all...

if you really believe that crouch, garcia, traore, zenden, finnan are gonna take liverpool places...well time will tell...can't see it myself. With the purchases he's made am having problems seeing the big picture....unfortunately i think the prima tactician is as well.
