There is a lot of noise around Liverpool at the moment. Too much of it, if you ask me. One week we are finished, the next week we are back in the race. I have been around this club long enough to know that the truth usually sits somewhere in the middle.

Let me start with this, I still believe Liverpool will qualify for the Champions League. I genuinely do. It will not be straightforward. It will not be comfortable. But when I look at the fixtures, when I look at the players we have available, and when I look at what Chelsea and Manchester United still have to face, I think we will just about get there.

It might not be pretty. It might not convince anyone from one week to the next. But I think we will have enough.
