Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has backed his side and their determination to see them through their current run of poor form.
The Merseyside club have struggled to find consistent form this season, having missed the goals of Luis Suarez [now at Barcelona] and Daniel Sturridge [injured].
However, former Southampton man Lallana has discussed how he and his fellow team-mates are ready to grind out results and get back to their best.
“We’ve been scoring late goals and that shows we keep going until the last minute,” the 26-year-old told the club’s official website.
“We’ve got a fit group of lads and we may not be performing as well as we know we can, but that grit, determination and character is what you need.
“It’s given us a lift. Hopefully it triggers a good performance at the weekend. There are tough games coming around ever so quickly now.”
The England midfielder then talked personally about his own pressure of playing for Liverpool.
“Expectations are a big one and playing for a club that is watched by millions of supporters around the world,” Lallana said.
“It’s just a big club but I’m just enjoying every moment of it. The Champions League games, and the even the Capital One Cup games, Anfield is jam-packed – even in midweek against Swansea.”
