""This is the worst month I have experienced with the team," said the Liverpool boss. "I feel sorry for the players and the fans - they don't deserve this.

"We have to be careful because of the confidence of the boys, though you can't avoid being uptight and tense when you are not playing well.

"Once we win a good game, it will give a bit of fresh air to everybody. But don't forget we must be patient - the strikers are still young."
