| Carra: We've Sent Out A Message
Jamie Carragher believes Sunday's comprehensive victory over Aston Villa has sent out a warning to Liverpool's title rivals.
The Anfield vice-captain feels the Reds are hitting top form at the right time after Rafa Benitez's side capitalised Manchester United's defeat at Fulham by crushing the Midlanders 5-0.
"This will have sent a message out to United and Chelsea," said Carragher. "Let's not kid ourselves, they'd have been watching the game.
"When you play Real Madrid and Manchester United and score so many goals, you know in the back of your mind that can't happen every week so to get five against Villa was a magnificent achievement.
"If we'd have dropped points against Villa, United's defeat at Fulham wouldn't have made that much of a difference but we've capitalised on it.
"Now United will realise they are in a fight for the league."
The win against Villa took Liverpool to within one point of leaders United at the top of the table and Carragher insists Liverpool have the mental toughness to deal with the pressures of the title race.
"We are maturing and getting used to the demands of fighting for a title," he added.
"We were there earlier in the season but, having not been in that position before, maybe we didn't know how to deal with it.
"We've probably found it difficult a few times this season to cope with that.
"We're well aware that the title is in Manchester United's hands, but we're trying to put them under as much pressure as possible."
