The English international said, “Obviously it was a short break and then we had the restart and then the period when we switched off for a couple of weeks and that was that.”

“But I think more than anything, the gaffer instils in us that it’s a mental battle more than physical half the time, so we’ll be ready and we have a squad full of quality to rotate when needs be.
“The main thing is, mentally we are ready to go, and I think everyone is hungrier than ever.”

Speaking of the international break, he says some players will remain to practice more. He believes that squad depth is Liverpool’s asset and they will continue to fight for trophies.

“The quality coming off the bench showed that [the manager has the option to make tactical changes] and they brought a real bright spark into the game.

“That’s going to be so important for us this year. We’ve always had such a strong squad but I think now more than ever and hopefully, we can use that and I think everyone will play their part.”
