Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool's players have a new understanding of what is needed to win the Premiership.

Reflecting on last week's come-from-behind win at Manchester City, the defender told liverpoolfc.tv: "We scored the winning goal after Martin Skrtel went off and it was 10 v 10.

"We had no centre-back, it was just me.

"We could easily have dropped Xabi Alonso back but a few lads said, 'No, we'll keep men forward and go for it. We're aware, now, you've got to go for wins in this league. Draws kill you.

"People should stop saying we've made a great start, though. I'm thinking, 'We've only played seven games and we're Liverpool. Shouldn't we be up there? Am I missing something?' We're not Hull. If we're still up there in March we can talk about it, until then focus on doing our best in every game. Actions speak louder than words."
