Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is eager to find out why his team has started the 2014/15 season in such mediocre fashion.
The Reds, who finished second in the Premier League last term, have thus far failed to reach the heights they set when scoring over 100 league goals in 2013/14.
Liverpool find themselves sitting seventh on the table having lost four of their 10 matches and have also been beaten twice in the Champions League from three fixtures which suggests to Rodgers that things may need to be discovered and altered in order to improve results at Anfield.
"I am very much learning about the players who have come in," said Rodgers ahead of Tuesday night's European clash with Real Madrid.
"It is clear we have not reached the speed in our game, the intensity of our game, over the course of the season, other than maybe one or two moments, and that is something I am trying to find as the coach.
"Last year we had the players and I could work the tactics around that, but obviously this season it has been different with more games and less training time."
Liverpool will be hoping for a much-improved performance against Real at the Santiago Bernabeu following their 3-0 home defeat a fortnight ago.
