Rafael BenÍtez the manager of Liverpool said that Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Chelsea had sent a “massive message” to their Barclays Premier League competitors that the Merseyside soccer club is capable to win the title. Liverpool’s show Sunday in their historic 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea told again everybody of the classic Liverpool side from the late seventies and early eighties. The Liverpool manager believes that six weeks after his side came from behind to beat Manchester United; shows that his team has the class and quality to end the club’s 19-year wait for the challenge. BentItez is so much happy on the performance of his players. He said,

To come here with that mentality and showing the character the players showed gives us a big boost for the rest of the season. We have belief, we have quality and we showed coming from behind in the other games that we had character. This is enough to make us contenders; this is enough to put us at the top of the table now.

A 10th minute goal from Xabi Alonso was enough to stop Chelsea’s 86 match league run without defeat at Stamford Bridge and send the visiting team three points obvious at the top of the table as the only unbeaten side in the top flight. The link up play among Xabi Alonso, Robbie Keane, Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt and later Ryan Babel was unbelievable up front, showing off a ton of creativity; if they continue their same display then it will be the best chance to achieve their goal.

At the present, after beating Man United and Chelsea, they have to remain that level of consistency going for the rest of the season. If they can, we may have a real fight between four teams at the top of the table instead of just two. Cause within past few seasons it seems to all that the fight is bounded only ManU and Chelsea.
