Time for improvement says Crouch

Last updated : 22 November 2006 By Al Campbell
Liverpool's away record has been poor this season with only two points won out of a possible 21. While Crouch acknowledges that bringing in new players will unsettle a team slightly he believes the Reds should start settling down now and start picking up away wins.

"I think maybe it takes time for the new players to settle in, but I'd like to think they're settled in now so we have to take things on and try to go on a little run like we did last year," said the Reds' top scorer this season.

"I'm not sure why we're not winning away when our home form's really good.

"Maybe when you haven't won away for a little while you get a bit edgy and what have you because you're desperate to get that first win. We have to try to do better."
