Liverpool can still win the title despite Vila setback, says Yossi Benayoun
According to the statistics, there is no need for Liverpool to panic just yet. The history of the Premier League shows that a team can often afford to lose as many as five or six games and still prevail at the end of the season.
With defeat by Aston Villa on Monday their second in only three games, Liverpool fansmust be worried by the departure of Xabi Alonso and the continued lack of progress by the likes of Lucas, Ryan Babel, Andriy Voronin and Yossi Benayoun.
Yet it is Benayoun who insists: 'We still think we can win the title. Maybe we cannot lose any more games until the end of the season, but we believe we are strong enough to be there at the end.
'We lost only twice through the whole of the last Premier League season, and we have to show that we are still a strong team.
'At a club like Liverpool, if you lose two or three games then people will ask if you are strong enough to win the league. But there is a long way to go, everything can change.If we go on a long winning run, people will talk differently.'
Benayoun expects the 'big four' to drop more points than expected because other teams are stronger.
He said: 'Villa have proved they can beat anyone, and I'm sure Manchester United,Chelsea and Arsenal will have tough games against the likes of Villa, Manchester Cityand Tottenham.'
