Rickie Lambert admits Liverpool's form woes are hitting him hard.

Lambert has scored just twice all season while Liverpool's leading Premier League scorers - Raheem Sterling and Steven Gerrard - have managed only three goals apiece.

"All those cliches and thoughts of living the dream quickly got eradicated a few months after I joined," said Lambert.

"Just because I'm a Liverpool fan doesn't mean it's nice when we're not playing or not winning. It's probably worse.

"It's hurting me personally and I have to try to get it out of my system. Let me be a player. A few of us didn't play that well on Tuesday and we want to try to rectify it."
