Liverpool FC have finally overcome the confidence crisis that has hampered their title hopes in previous seasons.
Skipper Steven Gerrard says the team's impressive and professional 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday has boosted morale after a disappointing goal-less draw against Stoke.
In past seasons, Liverpool have started well, but early set backs have resulted in a slump, which has left hopes of a title challenge over by Christmas.
Gerrard said, "We were frustrated after not taking maximum points against Stoke, and in the past that could have signaled problems for us.
"But this time we have responded with our best performance of the season so far, and I think that is a real statement of intent."
