"I started the season well for Liverpool and then went through a couple of months when I was very poor and wasn't putting in good enough performances at club level," he said.

"There were also a couple of internationals when I wasn't happy.

"The season has been a little bit up and down but lately the last six weeks it has been coming back and I am feeling good."

"I think my poor form was down to a number of things. I was trying too hard and maybe wasn't working hard enough.

"I needed to work harder in training and get my passing right. For the last month or two, I think it's been back to the way I want it.

"Then again, I know that I've got a lot of things to learn and I can still improve as a player for both club and country."
