DANNY MURPHY: Downbeat Liverpool need to look on the bright side... Jurgen Klopp's men were better than Leicester for 70 minutes and must see positives ahead of RB Leipzig clash

Liverpool need an infusion of positivity.

Ironically, their performances against Leicester on Saturday and Manchester City last weekend were far better than the limp defeats against Southampton and Brighton.

Yet the record books show two defeats and seven goals conceded against their top-four rivals.

Football is a cruel game and while they were clearly the better side against Leicester for 70 minutes, individual errors have cost them again — particularly Alisson’s rush of blood when the game was 1-1.

Liverpool were solid for 70 minutes and dominated Leicester, but football can be cruel

I had managers who considered post-match video sessions as important as training sessions and there is an important skill to them.
