This team needs help, we lost players from last season and we've not replaced them," admitted Taylor last week.

When you think about some of the things we've seen happen to families involved off the pitch, it's nothing compared to the trauma they are going through."Of course, we care so much about what we do.

It's been a really difficult time for the club."'We need to trust it will get better'On the pitch, Liverpool are going through a transition too.Taylor was brought in to provide a new identity, focusing on a possession-based style and moving away from the direct, well-drilled approach they had previously.Fan Smallwood has seen patches of progression and is encouraged by what she has seen - but understands it will take time to make an impact."The biggest thing for me was that we missed out on a pre-season with Taylor when there has been so much change to the style," she added."But I can see how it's going to work and there can be success in the future. "We have shown it in spells in every game that we have played so far, it just hasn't clicked for us," she told Sky Sports on Saturday."There's more to come from us.

It is still a step in the right direction."Taylor has vowed the club will do everything to pick up points - but not at the expense of abandoning their philosophy."We need to trust that it will get better, but going away from what we are trying to do… that's not what I was brought to the club to do," he added. We have done that.
