Liverpool chairman taking positives from recent form

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner believes the club are making the right moves towards a Champions League place. They last played in the Champions League in 2009 but sit third in the Premier League after nine matches.

"We know how much it means to our fans to get to the top of the Premier League and get back in the Champions League," said Werner.

"I just want to keep going in the right direction."

"We entered into this crazy world of football because we wanted to bring more trophies into the trophy room at Anfield," Werner told the Sport Today programme on BBC World News.

"Our performance on the pitch has improved this year. Things are all looking good.

"It is a terrific league. There are so many teams bunched up at the top. It is going to be a dogfight."
