Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is refusing to get
carried away by the club's excellent start to the season which has seen the
team set the early pace in the Premier League.
With four games played, the Reds are one point clear of
north London duo Arsenal and Tottenham but, with 34 matches remaining, Rodgers
is not looking too far ahead.
Liverpool last won the League Championship in 1990 and
Rodgers insists: "I haven't even considered a title challenge. The only
focus is the next game.
"We'll assess it after 10 games, see where we sit
then, and then again at the halfway point when we'll probably have a more
realistic idea of where we can be.
"At this moment, we've played four - won three and
drawn one - and we're in a good moment.
"There's a lot more to come. We've made a good
start. People will talk that it is early stages, as will I, but these are
hurdles you have to get over.
"We're on 10 points already and at the end of last
season we finished on 61 points and we talked about those extra 10 points that
might have taken us into the Champions League - at this early stage we've got
them.
"I believe the team has still got a lot of
improvements to make because of the nature of what I've seen in the games and
the potential we have in the players.
"We've got to sustain that but I'm really happy that
in these early stages we've shown at least potential - potential that can grow
even more."
