Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers had no complaints over the attitude of his players in defeat at Manchester United.

Rodgers was asked what he felt was required to get Liverpool's form back to the kind of consistent levels witnessed last season.

He replied: "I think it's just that emphasis on the team. I think it's pretty clear that we're obviously searching to find solutions in the games to get wins. The players are working incredibly hard.

"There's not a lack of effort. You saw the attitude today, it was first-class, the players were giving everything. They were pressing, they were working. But when you're not winning as consistently as we were last season, then the feeling is a little bit different.

"We want to get wins and we want to concentrate on our performance. That was key coming into the game today - the ability to want to perform. If we can perform like that and create the chances, then we'll win games. That's always your best solution in order to make the team better."
