Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt has warned Sir Alex Ferguson the title challenge is far from over.
The Manchester United boss pointedly suggested last week that whoever lost the Champions' League tie between the Reds and Chelsea would have their confidence shattered in the Premier League.
But despite crashing out of Europe, Kuyt believes the heroic performance of his side at Stamford Bridge will inspire Liverpool.
"There is far more to come from us and we will be giving everything to win the league," said Kuyt. "It is not over yet, far from it.
"If United struggle at all, they know we will be there, right behind them. We showed against Chelsea that we never give up the fight - ever.
"We showed a lot of character and this team proved that we can do that in the league too. We really believe we can bounce back after that performance."
Kuyt's battling words have been echoed by many of the Liverpool squad after the thrilling 4-4 draw at Chelsea.
Defender Fabio Aurelio, who scored one of the cheekiest goals of all time with a near-post free-kick, added: "We didn't win at Chelsea, but we did show that almost everything is possible in football, and so we can keep believing we can win the title.
"Now, we have only one competition to focus on, and even though we are behind we won't have any distractions, so who knows."
