Liverpool keeper Alisson: Mentality change key to this season

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson says the Premier League leaders have improved their "mentality" this season.

The European champions are odds-on favourites to win the Premier League title this season, having established a 14-point lead, with a match in hand, having dropped just two points from a possible 63.

When asked by Premier League Productions about how Liverpool have managed to pick themselves up and go again, Alisson said: "With a lot of hard work. We are a very strong team mentally.

"This is important to maintain this high level even across so many games.

"Our squad is very strong both in quantity and quality. So when one comes out of the team and another comes in, the level of the team doesn't change.

"This is important for a team that wants to achieve great things in football and it has helped us a lot."

Reds did enjoy a successful end to the decade after they were crowned champions of Europe

He continued: "We're a team that have been together for a long time and getting better each season, taking it up a level each season.

"I think the difference from last season, which was already a victorious season, is consistency. Defensive and offensive consistency, and a consistent mentality.

"Our team have a winning mindset. We always think about the next game, we don't look too far ahead.

"We focus upon what is within reach at the time and we do everything possible to make sure we leave the pitch with a win and this has contributed to the great results this season."
