Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says that the Reds must learn from their humiliating 5-0 defeat at Man City last Saturday, and must bounce back in the upcoming games.

The Merseysiders make a return to Champions League this Wednesday with a home against Sevilla, and following that, they have a home game against Burnley on Saturday.

"They were very much in the game until Mane got sent off," said Souness, who was speaking at a British Heart Foundation event at St Thomas' Hospital.

"5-0 is a bit of a shocker really. When you go down to 10 men against a very good team it's about damage limitation.

"Liverpool will look at that and learn from it. 5-0 can be psychologically damaging but we'll have to wait and see if it has.

"Will it be psychologically damaging? I hope not. They've got a very good team at this moment and need to get some victories under their belts as soon as possible. Then it's upwards and onwards.

"But it's a blow and in football, like life, the blows you take determine what kind of person or team you are. They should learn from that and come back from that."
