00:00I have one on your home form recently, obviously Liverpool's home form last season

00:04and in recent years has been pretty impeccable.

00:06In the last five in the league it's two wins, two defeats and a draw.

00:10Are you finding it difficult to play at home at the moment,

00:13and with the form that there's been in and 60,000 expected fans,

00:16I just wonder what that impact is having on your home performances at the moment?

00:20I could completely understand this question, if our away form would have been outstanding,

00:25but I don't think that's the situation as well.

00:28I think we've struggled at home and away from home far too many times than we would like,

00:34and there are reasons for that which I think I've spoken about,

00:39everybody's spoken about many times,

00:42but never enough reasons to lose so many times.

00:45So I don't see the relation between home games and our results,

00:51I see it in all the other things I've said recently,

00:55why we've dropped points or lost games.

00:59You've talked about how teams have targeted you in certain ways

01:02and played certain tactics against you this season,

01:05I just wonder, do you expect Brighton to go down a similar route,

01:08or what kind of threat do you expect then to pose on?

01:11Yeah, I've said, not only, I've said this, it's so clear and obvious every time,

01:16sometimes I see a photo that some pundits have shown this,

01:22that it's so obvious that if you see the league,

01:24I think the league has become much more direct,

01:26but then there's the league and then there's Liverpool,

01:28how teams play against us in terms of how direct they play.

01:32That's, I think, a nicer word than a long ball.

01:37That's one thing, and I think there have been certain game plans against us

01:42that I've seen more and more and more as well,

01:45which I referred to in the press conference before the Inter game.

01:49So I've said multiple times, we have to adapt,

01:53and let's take the Sunderland game where we struggled to create a lot of chances,

01:59and the game after they faced a team that hit a shot far from outside the box

02:06and scored a set-piece.

02:07These are the ways to unlock a team that's either defending low

02:12and hardly gives away anything.

02:14The other option is of course an individual that just outplays his,

02:21dominates the 1v1,

02:23that is also something when I looked at the City-Realm-Rude game,

02:27I saw some great examples of that.

02:29One or two individuals that were able to create a lot,

02:33and another set-piece scored in that game as well.

02:38We're not sure of the way.

02:39We have three or eight.

02:40We're not sure of the way.

02:41We are also going to make a team that is the same- offend thing.

02:42We're all going to look after the 3rd section.

02:43We're going to take a group of each other in a row,

02:45which is going to be as long.

02:46We're going to go ahead and grab a group of each other in a group.

02:48We're going to give a group of each other.

02:50So, what do you think?

02:51I'm doing the same thing.

02:52I'm going to be talking about the team,

02:53I'm just going to bring a couple of teams to go together,

02:55and I'm going to go ahead.

02:57I'm going to have some other teams that I'm going to implement.

02:59I'm going to get a group of the team.

03:00I'm going to take that first.
