"I don't want to spend time here without trophies. It's not enough for me to see my side play well in one or two games. I want consistency and that means everyone working harder.
"I told the players this week that when I decided to join this club I took it on as a challenge. I have not come to Liverpool to earn money.
"We all have to accept responsibility and do everything we possibly can to make a strong team, not only in the future but from now.
"After the Birmingham game I felt very disappointed. I watched the video of the match and analysed what happened.
"On Monday we spoke to the players and told them we must change our mentality. You can't have a team which always plays good sometimes and bad others.
"What makes it worse is we went into the Birmingham game knowing Everton had lost earlier, so we had a chance to close the gap. We must accept it was bad and not the kind performance we want in future."
