Liverpool defender Alexander Arnold says that they have no other person to put the blame of their poor form on other than themselves.
The Reds have been without a win in their five recent game in the Premier League and also crashed out of the FA cup tie against Manchester United on Sunday.

“A lot. We’ve set such high standards for each other and ourselves over the last two, three years, so I think it becomes a bit of an expectation from everyone around us – and even ourselves really – to maintain them.
“So, when things aren’t really going as we want them to then it’s probably magnified and probably looked into a lot more than what other teams would be.
“But that’s just down to ourselves and we know we’re not getting the points that we want or that we need. So we’ve been looking at that and I think it’s just about getting back into our rhythm at the end of the day.
“The sooner we do that the better. But we have been looking at it and we’ve been trying to improve without trying to overthink it and just get back to what was working best for us the last few years.”
Arnold stated that they have tried as much as possible not to look into it too much so as not to get their mentality down and also claim they know what to work on.
“The only people we have to blame and to really put anything on is ourselves. At the end of the day, it’s down to us to go out there and get the three points and get wins.
“We haven’t been able to do that the last few games, so there’s no-one else to blame other than ourselves. But we can’t be too critical. I think in a few of the games we’ve had the chances to score, we should’ve got a few more points I think.
“But that’s football – you don’t get the results that you want every game. We’ve tried not to look into it too much and get ourselves down but we know that there’s things that we need to work on.”
When asked how he think his side will approach the game against Tottenham hotspurs, he said.
“We went there last year, scored a goal, were able to keep a clean sheet and win 1-0 and come away with a win. That’s something we’ll be looking to do again. We don’t really care what score it is, we just want the three points.
“Whether it be 4-3 or 1-0, it doesn’t make a difference to us. We want to make sure we get the three points. That’s what’s most important to us. I think if our mentality and performance is right on the day then we’ve got a good chance of doing that.”
