Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has spoken out saying that the Reds have to beat the smaller teams if they are to be crowned Premier League champions this season.
"We need to be able to put teams away," Thompson told LFC Magazine.
"Even against Stoke [City] at home last season, where we had about 27 attempts on goal, that aggressive streak to finish them off was missing.
"Liverpool blitzed the top four but still haven't won the title. We've only lost two games all season, but haven't won the title."
The legendary defender went on to speak of how performances against the lower teams count towards winning the league.
"If it had been a position where we drew against all those top teams but beat the lesser lights, with respect, we would probably have won the league," he lamented.
Liverpool are yet to win the league title in the Premier League era.
