Keegan insists Liverpool far from being top four class

Liverpool icon Kevin Keegan has warned his old club against getting carried with this season's turnaround.

Keegan feels the current squad still isn't top four material.

"They have a long way to go to make it to the top four," he told the Daily Mail. "Steven Gerrard will come back. You assume that Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll - raw but the best header of a ball I've ever seen and I don't say that lightly - will be back. And you have to fit Dirk Kuyt in, so he'll have to play on the wing, and he's not a winger.

"Then you start to think if Liverpool scare people as they used to. No. You would respect them totally. But not be scared by them. They have to build a new stadium and that means finding £300m. On top of that they have to rebuild the side.

"Kenny will be telling everyone not to be fooled by this run. It's come at a time when there's no real pressure. He deserves the job 100 per cent, 110 per cent if that's possible."
