Pepe Reina has shrugged off Liverpool’s poor start to the season and is adamant that a run of strong form will return the Merseyside club back to where they belong: the top-end of the table.
"It is not normal for Liverpool to open the season with two defeats from three games," the goalkeeper said, according to the club's official website.
"But it's still early days and in a few weeks time, we may have a run of wins behind us and the bad results will be forgotten about.”
The goalkeeper perhaps had Manchester United’s notoriously slow starts in mind, when insisting that poor starts to a season were not necessarily an indication of how a team will finish.
"If a team is going to suffer from bad form, it's better for it to be at the start of the season because there is a lot more time to recover. Many clubs have proven that over the years and gone on to achieve great things at the end of the campaign," Reina said.
"There is a lot of pessimism about our chances this season from the media at the moment, but we are the only people who can prove them wrong.
"We still have confidence as a squad and we have to put trust in each other - just like we did last season."
