December 16th, 2009 - 1:57 pm ICT by ANI
London, Dec. 16 (ANI): Coach Rafa Benitez has made an astonishing pledge to all Liverpool fans: “I guarantee we will finish in the top four.”
The stumbling Kop kings are seventh in the Premier League and 13 points off the top - and also out of the Champions League.
But Benitez, whose side lost 2-1 to Arsenal on Sunday, was quoted by the Sun as saying: “You can’t be negative, you have to think of the positives and I am.
“We are working so hard and I can guarantee you we will finish in the top four. If you want to be a good manager you have to find a way to change things. If you think confidence is low, you have to find a way to lift it.” (ANI)
