Houllier said: "We have seven games to go and we will be up for it. It is not a matter of pressure, I have told them it is a matter of enjoying ourselves.
"And with the number of injuries we have had this season, I just take my hat off to the players that we are still competing at this level. Since everybody has been back, just look at the results."
"We have seen something of the real Liverpool recently, but even now it is not always there. Michael Owen didn't play at Leicester last week but showed how much we have missed him with those two goals against Black-burn.
"So often we have been without the right players, and we have suffered from that."
