Rodgers: Liverpool 'in with a shout' of top- four finish The Anfield boss watched his side lose at the Emirates but he remains confident that they have what it takes to qualify for next year's Champions League
Brendan Rodgers still
believes his Liverpool
side can finish in the
top four of the Premier
League this season in
spite of Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Arsenal .
The Reds missed the chance to overtake the
Gunners at the top of the Premier League on
Saturday, as goals from midfielders Santi
Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey inspired Arsene
Wenger's side to victory.
The Anfield outfit had been mentioned as
title contenders following a strong start to
the season, but Rodgers' ambitions are more
conservative.
"I think what we can see is that my players
have been brilliant in this opening period,"
he told Sky Sports.
"I think we're going to be in with a shout.
We'll be in with a fighting chance of that top
four and that's what we're aiming to do."
Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho both had
chances to mount a comeback at the
Emirates Stadium, but Rodgers did not
believe his side deserved anything from the
game.
He added: "I thought that the best team
won; they had a greater control of the game.
We still had chances.
"Their mobility and passing was better than
ours; we could have done better with the two
goals. We're disappointed: we never pressed
the ball well enough; we were never tight
enough.
"We kept going all night; the players have
been brilliant in their application of the
game. We created chances but just couldn't
put the ball in the net.
