Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is adamant they're on the right track, despite defeat at Stoke City.
The international break will frustrate Hodgson's bid to work with his players over the next few days but he remains confident he will get it right.
He said: "All you can do is work but unfortunately we won't have a lot of chance to work as some players are going away with their national team.
"The longer we work together the more the players become attuned to what we want from them.
"I don't think I need to fear one setback is going to throw us back into a bad situation."
