Reds must push on, says Reina

LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Jose Reina admits it is currently impossible for them to compete with Premier League leaders Chelsea and stressed things have to improve if the club are to hold onto their star names.

Early-season struggles have left the Reds in ninth place in the league, prompting speculation about the futures of star names Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Reina himself.

A change of ownership in October saw New England Sports Ventures take control, but with the transfer window not opening until January they have not yet had a chance to turn their ambitious words and promises into new signings.
