Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez thinks that his side's 4-1 mauling of Manchester United at Old Trafford yesterday has given a guiding a light for the rest of the Premier League to follow. Benitez says his team have shown that the Red Devils are vulnerable and can be unsettled.
He argues that if sides attack United, as Liverpool did yesterday, then they will enjoy more success than they thought possible. United's defenders, he states, are rarely put under serious pressure but when they are, Ferdinand and Vidic do have a tendancy to wobble.
"We have shown the way," the Reds manager told The Manchester Evening News.
"United have been playing with so much confidence. At least people will now see that they can lose.
"The message is there for everyone. In attack they are fantastic. You can see the quality they have. But, in defence, they have some weaknesses and we tried to exploit them."
Despite recording their biggest victory at Old Trafford since 1936, Liverpool will still need United to falter significantly for them to have a realistic hope of taking the title this season. There is still a four point deficit to United, who also have a game in hand.
