I think he clearly doesn't trust any of the right-backs that he's playing, the rotation. [Florian] Wirtz coming in maybe affected the balance of the midfield they had last season."I think it's a big challenge now because with the new players coming in having to get that mentality of winning every week, I think it's a big challenge for Liverpool. The Reds splashed out around £446 million on seven players who could feature regularly in the starting eleven."I think the amount of times you bring so many new players in and the amount of times you hear about the mentality of a player, Liverpool are obviously a massive club, and you expect to win every game," he said."I remember when I went from Everton to Manchester United, if we won two games in a row at Everton, you'd half-think 'Ok, it doesn't matter if we lose the next game.' You try and win it, of course, but it takes a bit of the pressure off."When you go to a big club and you're challenging for everything, you have to win every game.

You have to have that mindset of winning every game."Some of the players that Liverpool have brought in, I think they need to get used to that. It's almost like you're programmed to just get on with it."At the end of the season you can relax and enjoy it.

I think that mentality is not used enough in terms of when you bring new players in, you have to find that really quick."There's a difference for [Alexander] Isak for instance and how he played for Newcastle. You have to think a bit more to find the space."I think [Hugo] Ekitike has been brilliant at that and he's more of a number ten really.
