Trent Alexander-Arnold concedes his new inside-fullback role means an adjustment for every other Liverpool player on the pitch.

The defender admits the position when in possession requires a change from everyone.

"It's a full team system, it's not just my position," he said. "Everyone within the system has to change and has to adapt to it. There are still things to learn, but we're enjoying it. We're creating chances, we're dominating games and it's going well.

"I think there is an element of confidence back and a belief. When you are getting bad results your confidence takes a dent and you then lack that belief that you're a top team anymore. Once you get back to winning ways you start to believe, you start to feed it and then it just flows. I think we're just at the beginning of that process again."

Of the season overall, Alexander-Arnold told the Liverpool matchday programme: "I think it hasn't gone as well for me as it had done in previous seasons and last season specifically, but I know there have been games when I have performed really well. It has been a season I can learn from to improve.

"I probably had the same approach personally as I do for the team's performance this season. I look at it the same way - you don't go from being a world-class team or world-class player last season to then losing that ability and that talent and not having that within you.

"So I know as a team, and personally, what I can achieve and the potential I've got. A bad season or a bad run of results or bad performances won't change that belief I've got within.

"Potentially it is hopefully a season of learning and understanding and bonding, because I think the tough times are when you really come together, when you learn about each other and when you really fight for each other on and off the pitch. It draws you closer as a team. I'm trying to put a positive spin on it, but those things are true."
