Carra: we must bounce back

Carragher says the Reds now face their first difficult test of their title credentials and must immediately put the Spurs defeat behind them if they're to show they can make a challenge for the Premiership this season.

"It's how you come back from your setbacks that counts. This will be a test for us now," said our vice-captain.

"If you want to show you're championship contenders it's how you bounce back that matters.

"Before Jose Mourinho came to Chelsea you could get away with losing five or six but now it seems to be three or four.

"The standards are so high. You can't afford to lose too many."
