Andrea Dossena says he's doing all he can to find a way into Liverpool's starting XI.

"Like every player, I always want to improve," Italian fullback Dossena said in the Liverpool Echo.

"To do this you must work hard every day in training and that is why I have been doing some extra work at Melwood.

"I want to improve my level and I think that things are getting better now.

"I have been doing extra running and work in the gym as well as other things that are open to all the team. I have been staying after training to do this.

"Also, the manager has been helping me by focusing on the details which I need to improve."
