Carragher - 'Title gone' Reds must end winless streak, says Carragher
Realistic Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes the Reds' defeat at Upton Park on Wednesday spelt a hammer blow to their title chances - and they must now concentrate on a top four finish.
West Ham beat Liverpool 1-0 thanks to Mark Noble's 90th minute penalty after Carragher's challenge on Freddie Ljungberg.
The defeat brought Liverpool's winless streak in the league to five games and Carragher believes they must now dust themselves down and quickly turn this form around, starting with the game against Sunderland on Saturday.
He told the club's website: "I don't think it's down to luck or anything like that - I've always said you get what you deserve in football and if results aren't going well like they're not at the moment that's something we've got to turn around quickly.
Fighting
"I think the league has gone and we've got to realise that we're fighting with Everton, Aston Villa and Man City for that top four place.
"The teams at the top are a long way away and we've got to just focus on the Sunderland game on Saturday and try and get three points from that.
"It's been a few games now since we got all three points and we need to get more points on the board.
"West Ham is a tough place to go and obviously we're not playing great and confidence is a bit low but if we'd got a point here it would have been a step in the right direction.
"It's not all doom and gloom, though. We're still in two very big cup competitions and, as I say, we want to do well in them, but the league form isn't good enough and the sooner we sort that out the better.
"At the moment things aren't going for us, but I don't think it's about luck."
Hindsight
Carragher was left to rue his challenge which cost the penalty, saying: "It's always better in hindsight but maybe I should have just let Ljungberg shoot.
"I'll have to see the incident again but maybe I shouldn't have dived in.
"I just felt he was about to pull the trigger and I flew across to try and block the shot but he's come the other way and I think my left foot slipped underneath me and caught him."
Just to reiterate I am not a Man U fan, just a Steven Gerrard and Carraghar hater
He's only a poor little scouser......(8)
