Reina insists no need for Liverpool fans to panic

Pepe Reina has dismissed concerns over Liverpool's slow start to the season.

The Reds have won one match out of four in the Premier League and have scored just two goals.

Reina needed to be in top form to keep a clean sheet as Roy Hodgson's men were held to a goalless draw at Birmingham on Sunday.

And the Spanish star said: "Any away game is tough. We've had a difficult start. It is never going to be easy but we all believe.

"We all helped to get a very good point. We could have lost the game, so we should be happy with the point. I've never beaten Birmingham in the league in five years and it is always difficult here.

"It has been a tough place for us. We never get proper results here.

"But let's look at it in a positive way. We have to go forward from here. We have to make sure that nobody is thinking of winning the league or anything like that at this moment.

"It is going to take a while. We have got to get used to the new players and then the system.

"Of course our target is to be up there but we have to be realistic. We will find out at the end of the season what we can achieve. Maybe it will take a while and we all have to be patient.

"April and May is the time to talk about targets."
