"Usually after a defeat I would say that the next game is an opportunity to respond and this is certainly true in this case. Liverpool is not a club where losing can become in any way normal, which means the only option available to us is to react in the right way. The most straightforward way of explaining what this means in practice is each of us giving absolutely everything that we have to try to get the kind of positive result that we need."
"On Saturday we did not meet the kind of standards that we set for ourselves. This is clear. I said afterwards that in the circumstances the crowd stayed with us in a way that maybe wouldn't happen at other clubs, but this is not something that we should take for granted. It is up to us to create the conditions for positive support by playing good football, competing at all times and showing the kind of drive that Liverpool teams are known for."
Liverpool play PSV Eindhoven at Anfield tonight after a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, their sixth loss in seven Premier League matches, which left them 12th in the table. Many supporters stayed to the end to applaud rather than turn on the team. The club will not accept losing as normal and must respond by giving absolutely everything in every game. The minimum requirement is to play good football, compete at all times and show the driving values associated with Liverpool to create conditions for sustained positive support. PSV are expected to provide a stern test.
