RAFA STILL UPBEAT DESPITE DEFEAT

Rafael Benitez has insisted he and his players must remain positive
after going down to their first league defeat of the season against Chelsea
yesterday.
Liverpool now trail Jose Mourinho's men by 17 points with two games in
hand, but Benitez isn't interested in talking about events at the top of
the Premiership.

He said: "I'm not interested in Chelsea or in what they are doing. I am
only interested in my team and trying to make sure we improve.

"OK, we're 17 points behind but at this stage it doesn't matter if it's 14,
15, 16 or 17. I am only looking forward to the next game and not talking or
thinking about anything else.

"It was a bad defeat but we can take positives from it. We played well in
the first half and controlled the game against a good team. How many
chances did Chelsea have before the penalty? That shows our plan was
working and that we were in control.

"We are playing better than our current results suggest. Sometimes the
difference between drawing and winning is only one opportunity. If we
played badly against Chelsea I'd be concerned but in the first half we
played really well against a team as good as them.

"We can improve, but I don't want to think about the title or how far we
are behind Chelsea."
