LIVERPOOL EAGER TO HALT FIRST-GOAL WOES
"I don't think that helps, going behind puts yourselves up against it. It shows the character in the amount of games we've come back and managed to turn around, ones where we've fought to the end and things like that. It is not ideal and that is something we can try to improve – and that's a big aim. The attitude of the boys and the fight is always there."
James Milner

We're missing some top quality with the injuries. We have to go through this. Some highlights, some blows too."
