Riera hails attitude

Liverpool have come from losing positions to win four of their eight Premier League games so far this season and it's that sort of spirit that has impressed Riera.

"The great thing about wins like this, and the one against Man City, is it demonstrates how good we are at reacting to adversity. That is so important and is the message that comes across loud and clear," said the winger.

"We would love to win more comfortably and be in charge from the first minute, but it doesn't always go like that. Other teams lift their game against us, because we are up at the top, and we have to respond.

"We just don't know when we are beaten, and that is a quality that was apparent to me the moment I arrived here. I was struck immediately by the mentality of the players. It really is unbelievable. You get confidence from winning games, but there is also a resilience about them that comes into its own on days like this."
