Despite his team loosing to Wigan on Monday, Liverpool forward Ryan Babel insisted that the Reds are still fighting for fourth place. Liverpool are now in sixth place in the table.

Babel insists that there is still plenty of fighting spirit in the squad.

“We definitely still have faith we can get fourth place. It will be harder and it’s important to get three points in every game, as it was before Wigan. That’s why it is so disappointing to have lost, It is frustrating that we had built up some confidence by winning games, but one game can spoil the confidence. The disappointment is very big for everybody, but we have to start again.” Babel said.

Babel did acknowledge that Liverpool had made things hard for themselves at the DW Stadium, though.

“I think we made it difficult for ourselves. In the first half especially, there was space to play football but we failed to do it, then they scored and it was difficult because they were staying behind the ball. In any away game it is hard to score two goals.” he added.

Some serious analysis will be needed ahead of the Reds’ next game, the first leg of a Europa League tie against Lille on Thursday.

“We will analyse the game and then we will know what his thoughts are, We have another important game on Thursday, so we have to be ready and prepared. We cannot be disappointed for too long. We will analyse and watch videos, like we always do, and I am sure we will be good for the game.” He continued.
