“At this moment, we’re having a difficult moment – we’re nowhere near what we’ve been. But that’s the great challenge for the players and I. We’ll look at it even harder, analyse it more,” Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said, via the club’s website.
“But we just need to ensure that we keep it simple and ensure that we keep to the values and ethics of this team, which is about hard work and honesty and concentrating on our performance.
“It’s an exciting challenge. This is still an incredible job – nothing has changed. The first six months was difficult here and then for 18 months we were on a magic ride in terms of performance level and everything improving. It’s been fantastic.
“There was big change here in the summer. We lost a world-class player. We had to improve the squad by bringing in a number of players and, unfortunately for us, we’ve lost a number of our key players [through injury].
“So, unfortunately, it brings us into a little period of transition again. Ideally for me it would have been a case of keeping the squad that we had and then adding a few bodies to that to pad it up and thicken up the squad.
“But it wasn’t the case. We lost a player, unfortunately, but we’ve gone into a little bit of transition again. It’s something that was difficult in the first few months when I got here. But the beauty of that period is that we saw the vision and the ideas that came out of the other side.”
