Yossi Benayoun, a great performer of late for title-chasers Liverpool, spoke to the press after his side's comfortable win over Gianfranco Zola's West Ham United.
The win sees the Reds pitch up at the head of the table for the moment, as Manchester United wait to play their two games in hand over the title-chasing Anfield outfit.
With Liverpool now narrowly ahead on goal difference, Yossi shared his thoughts on the proceedings.
"It was important to win," began the forward, speaking with Setanta Sports.
"It puts the pressure on Manchester United ahead of their game tomorrow. Hopefully they will slip up and we'll be closer to them.
"I think it was a good performance. Of course we scored the first goal quickly, so that filled everyone with confidence.
"From then on it was easy for us. We took our chances and we played well as a team."
Ahead of Manchester United's derby clash against Manchester City, Benayoun spoke for the entire Liverpool squad by saying that he hopes United experience a hiccup in their campaign.
"We know it will be difficult. They [Manchester United] still have their games in hand and they are a very strong side," continued the Israeli.
"We will try our best to win the rest of our games like we have been doing in the past and hopefully they will slip up. If they don't, they deserve to be the champions, but hopefully we're in with a chance.
"We know that we've done our best - that's the most important thing.
"Manchester derbies are always difficult. City have a lot of quality players in attack, so hopefully they will win.
"But, everyone knows that Man United are the favourites, not many teams can stop them."
Reiterating the woes of Liverpool fans the world over, Yossi explained why the Premier League gradually fell into the hands of United.
"We lost too many games between January and February. That gave United the chance to get their confidence back and they went top of the league," he admitted.
"If we do finish second, we'll learn from this season and use it to our advantage next season."
Forever the loyalist, Yossi was quizzed on whether the earlier comments made by Steven Gerrard should be taken seriously when he stated that this Liverpool team will win a Premier League title.
"Yes, of course. One hundred per cent. If Stevie said it, then it'll happen. We're all behind him and we all think like that. Hopefully it will happen soon."
