Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admits his
side must be almost perfect if they are to win the Premier League
title.
The Reds finished second last term after amassing a club record
86 points in the Premier League.
Liverpool are desperate to end their 20-year wait for the
championship crown and Benitez believes his squad is strong enough
to beat any of their rivals, but concedes there is still room for
improvement.
"You have to do everything almost perfectly because in the
Premier League you cannot lose many games," Benitez told the
Liverpool Echo.
"You need a good atmosphere, and we have a good squad now.
"The understanding is really good now between the players. The
main thing for me is to be contenders.
"We have to be there in the top four and close, then see what
happens.
"Chelsea, United and Arsenal are very strong, and this year
you'll have Tottenham, Aston Villa
and City. It's clearly the most difficult
league.
"We are strong enough to beat anyone and we need to be
consistent.
"We got 86 points - a record for the club in the Premier League
- but we still need to improve. But we have a lot of
confidence."
