Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana believes
his side can learn from Premier League leaders Chelsea and put a miserable
start to 2017 behind them.
The Merseysiders have yet to win a Premier
League match in 2017, taking just two points from a possible 12.
As a result Jurgen Klopp’s side have dropped
out of the top four for the first time since September and are 13 points adrift
of table-toppers Chelsea.
They managed a draw with Chelsea but their
next match saw them beaten 2-0 at Hull on Saturday.
Liverpool’s league losses so far this season
— to Burnley, Bournemouth, Swansea and Hull – have all come against teams
currently in the bottom nine.
By contrast, Chelsea have dropped just two
points in 12 matches against the bottom clubs, with Antonio Conte’s side holding
on to 1-0 wins away to Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace and Sunderland.
“You can see they have a lot of experience
and that they are used to winning,” Lallana told Wednesday’s Liverpool Echo
newspaper.
“They know how to win games even when not at
their best. You don’t have to always win by scoring five or six.
“Maybe that’s an area we need to improve on.
We maybe need to realise how good we are at times.”
The England international added: “Milly
(James Milner) is probably the only one in our group who has that type of
experience because it only comes from winning silverware like he did at
Manchester City.
“Myself and the other players haven’t won
titles or loads of cups so we need to learn from him and listen to him because
that type of experience is vital.
“We need to learn and get back to winning
ways in the league as soon as possible.”
