"We can beat anyone – we'd done it in the cups, but now we've done it in the Premier League. We showed on Saturday that we are a very good team," said the Reds' boss.
"We have a better squad than before.
"You have to be calm and quiet about your targets. We're five points behind, and it's a long race, but we'll try and get even closer. It's about winning the next game.
"If we maintain this form, we'll be closer to Manchester United as well as Chelsea. The irritation is still that we lost at Blackburn when we had 16 attempts. We are in very good form and we'll try and maintain it."
