Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted that he and his Liverpool team-mates needed to look at themselves after the stuttering start to their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.
Two points from their opening three games of the season - where drab draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace were followed by a dismal defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford - represented the club's worst start to a Premier League season since August 2012.
Having suffered injuries to Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate, Liverpool were put to the sword by Erik ten Hag's side last month, as they bounced back from their embarrassing 4-0 thrashing to Brentford with a 2-1 victory over the Reds.
