“Obviously, we’ve given ourselves a huge uphill battle, but I don’t think any of the teams will really look at the league table until we’re halfway through,” vice-captain Robertson said post-match of Liverpool’s position.<\/p>\n
“That’s what we’ve got to do but we’ve got to pick up points on a more consistent basis. Then let’s see where we are after Christmas time or whatever. We’ve just got to focus on ourselves and focus on performance levels.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think you can talk about the title this early on in the season, regardless of what position you’re in, but you need to then consistently start winning games again for that to even come into question. It’s definitely not a question that’s getting spoken about in the changing room or anything.<\/p>\n
“We just need to get back to the levels that we know we can, the levels that we brought the last two games [against Villa and Real] in particular. If we do that on a more regular basis, then we pick up more points than we won’t.<\/p>\n
“We wanted to end a really strong week but it wasn’t meant to be. We were making strides and then obviously getting a knock.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Obviously, we’ve given ourselves a huge uphill battle, but I don’t think any of the teams will really…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[1050,1051,94,1039,1046,1041,1052,1054,1053,763,1045,1044,1040,1049,1042,1047,79,1043,16,15,1048],"class_list":{"0":"post-561717","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-homepage","12":"tag-klopp","13":"tag-lfc","14":"tag-lfc-news","15":"tag-lfctv","16":"tag-lfctv-go","17":"tag-liverpool-fc","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","19":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","20":"tag-liverpool-football-club","21":"tag-mane","22":"tag-reds","23":"tag-salah","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-the-reds","26":"tag-uk","27":"tag-united-kingdom","28":"tag-van-dijk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115526318473579168","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
