Midfielder Curtis Jones insists Liverpool’s form will improve following a second successive defeat last night, saying “it will change, of course it will.”
Arne Slot’s side followed up Saturday’s loss at Crystal Palace with another disappointing display, going down 1-0 at Galatasaray in the Champions League, Victor Osimhen scoring the only goal from the penalty spot.
Liverpool have yet to reach the standards they set last season with a summer recruitment drive seemingly disrupting their rhythm.
But Jones, who made a rare start at RAMS Park, is confident they will return to their best, starting this weekend when they visit Chelsea.
He told the club’s official website: “That’s just part of the game. I say it all the time, you must be mad if you think you can win every game.
“Of course you would like to but the reality is the teams we play are world-class teams and it’s normal if you lose games – it’s just how you bounce back.
“We’ve got a huge game in three days, so we have to go again. The lads have to stay calm, it’s fine, it’s part of it.
“It’s not fine that we lose but I think it’s fine in the way that we just have to stay calm. It will all change, of course it will.”
Liverpool played well – Jones
Former Reds defender Jamie Carragher described Liverpool as a “mess” at this moment in time but Jones believes there were positives to take from their trip to Istanbul.
“It’s always hard when you lose games, of course it is,” he added. “But I thought the lads actually played well. There were positives from the whole of the game.
“In the second half they just played in a low block and it was hard. It was a physical team as well [and] the fans were behind them for the whole of the night. It was a hard game but we’ll go again.
“There were positives at times when they came and pressed, where me, Ryan [Gravenberch] and Flo [Wirtz] played through, turned and went. But we would have liked to have more shots and obviously more goals.”
