Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is confident the club's ownership issues aren't unsettling his players.
Hodgson was quizzed on whether the ongoing ownership saga was affecting the playing staff.
"No, I don't think so," he said. "The players deal with it incredibly well, I think we all do.
"Everyone connected to Liverpool Football Club would like a solution to the ownership problem. While there isn't a solution we have to accept that there will be occasional protests.
"I don't see it affecting us. Certainly not in training. As for the games - we've had a tough start. Six games and six points is not what we'd hoped for. But we've played difficult teams and we're all confident at the club, myself and the players, that we'll get better and the points will start to come."
