Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he will encourage his side to continue with their normal attacking approach despite the fact that they have been struggling for form recently.
The Reds are currently on a run of four matches without a win and they have only managed to score three goals in that period.
They have also conceded 10 goals during that time, though five did come against Manchester City during their 5-0 demolition two weeks ago.
Liverpool’s defence has come under scrutiny and it has already proven to be leaky. This is one area which needs to be rectified soon or the Reds will endure a difficult season.
While Klopp has admitted that defensive issues do exist, he adds that he will not allow his players to be restricted by them.
He said, “In the beginning it was so nice, how fluent we are, how creative we are. We are still fluent and still creative but we don’t score, so it’s a big problem.
“If you would ask me what would you prefer: ‘Do you want your team perfect in defending set-pieces but don’t know how to play football or would you prefer the other way round?’ – I still would take this (second) one.
“In the moment it feels like we solved it but in the situation you can see again we are back to old patterns or how we did it a few weeks before. What we have at the moment because of the situation is that everybody wants to help where the first ball is.”
