Kuyt says squad is ready to mount serious title challenge

Dirk Kuyt believes the Reds are ready to mount a serious title challenge and believes the fighting spirit of the squad following the 2-3 victory over Bolton last Saturday will kick start the Anfield clubs season:

"Everybody knows we have already lost two times, but the way we beat Bolton where we came from behind twice gives us a much more positive feeling," said Kuyt to the official site.

"I still believe we have a great chance. It's early in the season and the main thing is to focus on our own game and look forward to the next game.

"As long as we start winning our own games from this stage I am sure we will be up there."

"I think we have two big signings. If you talk about Glen Johnson, last season he was one of the better players in the league.

"We have Aquilani as well. Okay we have to wait a couple of weeks before he starts to play games, but with these two signings we have a great team."
