RYAN GIGGS has rubbished suggestions Liverpool are a two-man team and admitted the race for this season's title is still very much alive.
The long-serving Manchester United winger came off the bench in Saturday's 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Rafa Benitez's side and saw enough to convince him that Liverpool present a very real danger to his hopes of landing yet another Premier League winners' medal.
Several commentators have argued that Liverpool rely too heavily on Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres but Giggs does not see it that way.
He said: "Liverpool are a strong team and on their day they can beat anyone - not many teams win at the Bernabeu after all.
"They have genuine world class players and where once they relied on Steven Gerrard there's now Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso and Jamie Carragher. There is quality all over the pitch and I don't think there's any doubt that this current side is stronger than previous ones.
"When they beat us at Anfield earlier this season Gerrard and Torres weren't even playing, so they do have talent elsewhere.
"The title race is certainly not over - any little hiccup we have will give encouragement to the other teams behind us."

Giggs is likely to be a contender for this year's player of the year award and while flattered to be mentioned as a potential winner of the prestigious title he reckons he will face strong competition from a couple of Anfield stars.
