Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen admits his form hasn't been good enough.

The Wales international has drawn criticism for recent performances.

He told Liverpoolfc.com: "In recent times I think it goes without saying it [my form] has been slightly disappointing, to be honest, but I am faithful and confident that I will turn things around on a personal level.

"It's games like Wednesday where, if I can be involved in some way, I can get my performance levels higher.

"The games against Arsenal and Manchester City earlier in the season are probably the level I am hoping to reach again and be more consistent with.

"There is no magic formula. I'll keep working hard and keep faithful there will be another performance like that just around the corner."
