Reaction proves Reds desire
Liverpool, 14:52, January 12, 2009 ,
Liverpool's Spanish winger Albert Riera says the reaction of the players to the draw at Stoke shows how much the title means to them.
Liverpool face the first of a double header against Liverpool next Monday night but by the time they play that game they could have been knocked off the top of the table by arch rivals Manchester United.
"Saturday showed me the character of this team," Riera told the club's official website.
"When I walked into the dressing room after the game everyone was devastated that we had only drawn a difficult away game.
"Stoke have a very good record at home and lots of teams have struggled to beat them at the Britannia Stadium, but we are top of the league and we had hoped to go there and win.
"But we will remember this feeling and we will give everything for it not to happen again."
