Xabi Alonso: 'I think it's better not to look at the league table at this
moment'

Xabi Alonso expects Rafael Benitez to strengthen Liverpool's squad in
January after the start to the season has seen them drop off the Barclays
Premiership pace.
Defeat against leaders Chelsea at the weekend means the Champions League
holders will be 17 points behind Jose Mourinho's men when domestic
competition resumes after the international break.

Alonso admits the current squad needs "a little more" if they are to
challenge, after getting their weaknesses ruthlessly exposed by Chelsea.

Tell us your view » "We are trying to use all the options we have at the
moment, but I think you can see we still need a little more," Alonso said.

"All we can do is wait until the transfer window opens again in January.
Until then we must start winning as soon as possible because we are not in
a comfortable position.

"I think it's better not to look at the league table at this moment. We
must keep our focus and try to think only about our next Premiership match
against Blackburn, but it's difficult for us with the international games
coming up now."

Liverpool have won just once in the league this season, with four draws and
the single defeat coming at the weekend.

However, they matched Chelsea in their Champions League match last week and
were in the game on Sunday until Mourinho's men pulled away in the second
half.

"It was so disappointing for us and a painful defeat," Alonso added on
official website liverpoolfc.tv.

"I thought we did well against them in the last game, but the mistakes we
have made cost us goals this time.

"The difference between the two teams is how comfortably they defend. They
play well on the counter attack and they win a lot of games because other
teams make mistakes against them. That's why they have a lot of success."
