// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Fernando Torres believes Liverpool have the talent and experience to end their long wait for a Premier League title.[LNB] The Reds have been tipped to mount another strong challenge after finishing just four points behind champions Manchester United last season.[LNB]Rafa Benitez's men had a good record against the other top teams in 2008/9 and Torres insists he is not worried about the clashes with United and Chelsea.[LNB]He feels Liverpool can make up the difference by claiming wins rather than draws in some of the other tricky fixtures, and he is targeting a fast start at Tottenham on Sunday.[LNB]"We have no problem beating Manchester United or Chelsea but it is games like Sunday's at Tottenham where we need to show our real title intentions," the Spaniard told The Sun. [LNB]"Tottenham is not an easy place to go but these are games we must be winning if this is to finally be our year."[LNB]Now is our timeTorres is convinced that Liverpool can win the title and admits it would be devastating for both the players and supporters to miss out again.[LNB]He said: "I am not thinking can we win the title, I am thinking we have to win the title. [LNB]"We came so close last season but for many of the players it was their first time experiencing the pressure of a Premier League title race.[LNB]"We have experience and if we don't bring the title back to Anfield I won't be offering up any excuses at the end of the season.[LNB]"We don't need to improve a lot on last season to win the title. There is only a slight improvement needed to give the fans and players the title they have wanted for so many years now. [LNB]"This is the best Liverpool team there has been in years, that is what many of the experienced players are saying.[LNB]"Now is our time. Second best is just not going to cut it with me any more."[LNB]
