Liverpool's confidence is fragile, admits Ryan Babel
Liverpool missed the chance to move into the top four by losing to Wigan last night their seventh Premier League away defeat of the season. [LNB]The limp manner of Liverpool's performance provoked Rafa Benítez to question his side's character. And Babel, a late substitute for Dirk Kuyt, admits morale is fragile at Anfield. [LNB] "We still have hope and faith that we can get fourth place,' said Babel. 'It will be harder in every game. It was going to be difficult even before this game. [LNB]'We needed to get three points and that's why the disappointment is so big that we failed. We will analyse everything. It is disappointing that we can't create a kind of confidence with winning games. One defeat seems to spoil all the confidence that we have and then we have to start again.' [LNB]Liverpool travel to Lille in the Europa League on Thursday, a tournament which is their only remaining chance of silverware. [LNB] "We have got an important game on Thursday and we have to be ready for that,' added Babel. 'We can't be disappointed too long.' [LNB]
