Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers believes that the Champions League is still providing hope to his team, even though the Reds' performance in the league has been disappointing.

Rodgers' team were left frustrated as they lost the chance to grab all three points against Ludogorets Razgrad on Wednesday night.




The 2-2 draw means that the Reds have still kept their hopes of qualifying to the last 16 stage of the Champions League alive, though now the only result they can afford in their last group stage match against Basel is a win.

 


Rodgers, who takes full responsibility for the team's poor performances in the Premier League, therefore insists that all is not lost for the Reds this season and a Champions League lifeline could well help to rejuvinate his team.

"In the Premier League, we haven't been good enough in our performances or consistent enough – that's my responsibility", Rodgers told his club's official site.

"In the Champions League, we still have it in our hands.

"It was always going to be a very close group; all the teams have shown they are good teams.

"Basel are a team that have got experience in the competition, and Ludogorets in their first year have had some good results."
