“That’s what we, as players, have to deal with.”

The 31 year-old added that many forget about the wellbeing of players and everyone is talking about how it should be accepted.
“For him to just carry on working – not only him but other players as well – and deal with it and show a reaction is what we need, all of us.
“To do that I think it’s important that we back him and the manager and the club and the fans.”
Liverpool has only won two of their first seven Premier League games. They have also.been struggling in the Champions League where they recorded their first win of the season against Rangers on Day Three.

“It’s been a slow start to the season for me but I’m looking forward to the rest of the season.”
