These are the major points from this afternoon's press conference i.e. the points below are basically what Rafa said:
* Support was fantastic, especially at full time even though the fans knew we were out of Champions League " best supporters in the world"
* We created enough chances
* Has confidence in the team, maybe we need some luck
* Hyypia and Riise injuries forced changes. Had to use the players we had who worked hard.
* Happy with the team selection but not the final score
* Arsenal game is really important
* We must finish in top 4, 2nd would be better
* Still in FA Cup
* We must think about the future now
* If we want to improve we can work harder and sign more good players "a big club needs big players"
* Avoided questions about positions need strengthening (just smiled)
* Players thinking about winning, not who will be sold in the summer
* Players should be as focused against Arsenal as the fans will be
* "Maybe next season will be different"
* If Liverpool not involved in Champions League, Rafa wants best team to win the competition and wouldn't pick any particular side to favour
