Jamie Carragher has called for patience among the Anfield crowd after a frustrating 0-0 draw against Fulham on Saturday.
Despite boasting an impressive unbeaten home record, the Reds have now dropped points to defensive Stoke City and Fulham sides this season.
But Carragher is adamant his Liverpool team-mates won't let the setback get to them and believes the fans must keep things in perspective at such an early stage of the Premier League campaign.
"The crowd, especially at Anfield, want us to win so much that it transmits itself down on to the pitch at times," said the Reds' vice-captain.
"You could feel that when we were trying to get the goal in the second half on Saturday.
"The supporters have to realise we are in November and not March or April yet. Like us, they are so passionate to win the title, but sometimes that passion can bowl you over.
"We have to all stay patient. It’s a long race, and it's not the be-all and end-all if we draw a home game in November.
"Don't get me wrong, the fans are great for us. But the fans, and the players, all of us together have to realise we have to be patient."
