Lallana: Liverpool must work together to recover

The Liverpool squad must stick together to get out of their recent difficult patch, according to midfielder Adam Lallana.

The Merseyside club fell to a shock 3-1 defeat to managerless Leicester City on Monday – their fifth league defeat of the season, all against teams currently in the bottom half.

But Lallana and his teammates have the chance to bounce back from their disappointing performance at King Power Stadium when they face Arsenal on Saturday.

And the England midfielder has called for greater consistency from Jurgen Klopp’s men if they’re to challenge for the highest places in the Premier League.

“I trust the boss, all the players trust the boss, and we’re all in it together,” he said.

“You’re in it together when you’re succeeding and you’re playing well, we’re all in it together when things aren’t going too well.

“That’s the position that we’re in at the minute and we just need to stand up and be counted and take responsibility. And that’s starting this Saturday against Arsenal.

“I want to achieve something special here at Liverpool and to do that we can’t just perform against the big teams, we need to perform against every team and treat them the same.

“I think that shows that the ability and the belief is there in the squad but we’re just not performing as consistently as we should be. We need to keep working on that.”
