LIVERPOOL'S incredible comeback against Manchester City at the weekend showed the strength of their team spirit.

When you go two goals down away from home there is a temptation to think that it's game over and you won't get back into it.

But Liverpool have already shown several times already this season that going behind does not mean you can't win the game and this shows the togetherness in Rafa Benitez's squad right now.

LIVERPOOL have got to start believing they are good enough to win the Premier League title this season.

I know only six games have gone but the fact that they've already beaten Manchester United and Everton is a massive boost to their hopes.

After dropping two points at home to Stoke, winning at Goodison was vital and the Reds rose to the occasion brilliantly.

It's been a great start and the longer Liverpool go undefeated the more confident they will become. We are joint top on merit and there's no doubt we're capable of going on a long unbeaten run.

Fernando Torres was the hero on Saturday and I was delighted to see him back on the scoresheet.

Before he scored he had endured a frustrating afternoon but even when things aren't going for him he always keeps battling and in the end he got his rewards.

IF LIVERPOOL are serious about winning the Premier League title this season then they have to win at Goodison Park this weekend.

That is the only result that will do after Saturday's disappointing draw at home to Stoke.

Normally if any team goes to Goodison and gets a point you would say they've done well but Liverpool have to make up for what happened last weekend.

ROBBIE KEANE went another 90 minutes without a goal on Saturday . . . and no-one batted an eyelid.

That's because Keane is doing an excellent job for the team, and Liverpool's fans are knowledgeable enough to see that.

Robbie got through a phenomenal amount of work, as did Dirk Kuyt - typically - alongside him.

It was as if both strikers decided they were going to set the trend for work-rate.

ANY Premier League victory over Manchester United is worth more than just three points.

But Saturday's success could prove especially significant.

For possibly the first time under Rafael Benitez, you could sense a group of players really believing in themselves.

They've done it in one-off cup ties many times, of course.
