Wenger tips Reds to battle back slowly

18 October 2010 14:31
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger does not believe Liverpool will get relegated but has warned that climbing the table could be a slow process. Roy Hodgson admits his side are in a "predicament" after they were left second bottom in the Barclays Premier League following a 2-0 defeat by Merseyside rivals Everton. Liverpool, who have been through a turbulent ownership battle, have won just once in the Premier League this season and gone six matches in all competitions without a victory, with the glory days at Anfield now very much in the distance past. Wenger, though, believes the Reds will turn things around, even though it could be a slow and difficult journey. "I don't think they will go down because they are too good a team, but we are in a sport where you go quickly down and slowly up," said the Gunners boss. "We are in a human sport and that makes it very fragile. Confidence is very important at our level and it goes very quickly."
