Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is ready to mount a serious title challenge with his side and admits that there is more to come from his players.
The Reds have started the new Premier League season impressively with three wins and one draw, including a 1-0 victory over rivals Manchester United in the third gameweek.
Despite suffering some bad news today that midfielder Philippe Coutinho will be out for over a month, Rodgers is still adamant that his side can be title contenders and he promises the fans that his players will fight as hard as they can.
He said: “The more you’re up there at the top, the more aggression and will and desire you have to stay there.
“It’s only four games in but we’ve had four tough games and we have only lost once in the last 17 games now.
“We are getting a level of consistency, and that was the biggest thing for me.
“When I came here last year, there was no consistency in the performance. But now we are just churning out wins and if we can’t win we are drawing games with resilient performances, like in the last 25 minutes against Swansea.
“I still believe we will get better and more fluent as the season goes on, so we are happy to be top and we are ready for a fight to stay there.”
