We've been through difficult times in different circumstances and it is always a challenge but it is one we have to deal with."We have to have responsibility and the most important thing is to stick together, stay confident and keep working on the things we need to improve because there are loads of things at the moment we need to improve and try to find consistency. The reality is we went 1-0 down pretty early on and had loads of time to put it right, we worked hard for it and they had some opportunities on the break, which was their plan, and then we got the equaliser and should have scored the 2-1 and we didn't do it."That is the disappointing part, you lose four in a row and it is down to us to put that right and we all want to do that as soon as possible.“[United's winner] was a corner so you have defensive organisation so everyone on the pitch has a role and then when the ball gets cleared you have to make sure you stick to that role and unfortunately at that moment it didn't happen."We are a team who do not try to keep the draw, especially at home.

We had the momentum to go for the 2-1 after the equaliser and when you have that feeling you just go for it.I want to win the game. Hopefully we will be on the other side of it, like we have been doing in the past.

We've never been playing for a draw – maybe we have but I can't remember it. It's tough to take but we have to take it, it's reality, we have to deal with it as players – all of us who are trying to win games, including our fans and move on to the next one."Liverpool sale knocks 50% off kit and merchThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
