Toure insists Liverpool still in title race

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure insists the draw with Aston Villa hasn't hurt their title hopes.

The Reds were held 2-2 at home by Villa on Saturday.

"We are still in that (title race) because every team can lose points," said.

"For us we just need to think about the next game 100 per cent, try to win and be positive.

"What we have done so far no-one was expecting at the start of the season.

"We need to take that on board and just keep going. When you have hard times you see a strong team and we are a strong team.

"The first half was very hard but the reaction from the team was great after going 2-0 down to a good Villa side - last year they won (3-1) here and it wasn't easy for us.

"We got a point and that showed the character of the team. We don't want to lose and that is very important, especially at home.

"Other teams will make errors. We just need to maintain our focus and believe in ourselves. In 16 games a lot can happen."
