Liverpool Full-Back Emiliano Insua Insists Title Challenge Is Not Over


Liverpool full-back Emiliano Insua claims the Reds can still be crowned Premier League champions this season, but results must improve soon if that aspiration is to be fulfilled.

Despite dominating for large parts of the game, Liverpool could only manage a 2-2 draw against Birmingham City at Anfield on Monday night, a result that leaves Rafael Benitez's side sitting outside the top four and a full 11 points behind leaders Chelsea.


The draw will prove a bitter pill to swallow for Reds supporters, especially when considering the nature of David Ngog's controversial dive to earn a penalty for the equaliser, although Insua is remaining upbeat.

"Right now we are a little bit far [behind] but you have to keep going and everything can change," he told Sky Sports News.

The Argentine pointed to a run of form that last season saw Liverpool finish just two points behind eventual champions Manchester United; form that he hopes can be replicated.

"Last season we were ten points behind and we finished two points [behind], so we have to keep going and winning games is the most important thing."
