Liverpool have 'nothing to worry about' says Ian Wright
Liverpool star Adam Lallana has played down the Reds’ recent form, after his side lost for the third time in the space of four games on Tuesday night. The Reds were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea in the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge.

Barkley added to the scoring in the second half, unleashing a brilliant shot from the edge of the area past Adrian.
The defeat was Liverpool’s third in recent weeks, as their hopes for a treble appear to be crumbling from around them.
The Premier League title is virtually wrapped-up, with the Reds only needing three more wins - provided Manchester City obtain maximum points.
But with the FA Cup no longer in play, their best bet for a double will be with the Champions League, where they need to overturn a 1-0 deficit from their first-leg against Atletico Madrid.

They will face off against Diego Simeone’s men again on March 11 as they look to bounce back from their recent dip in form.
Speaking at Stamford Bridge, Lallana insisted that nothing has changed for him and his team-mates, but that they always knew a defeat was possible.
“Nothing has been going wrong, you can always lose games,” said Lallana when asked about the recent form.
“It’s about us just staying together, sticking to what we’ve done over the course of the last four or five years since the manager has come in and react. Simple as that.

“We’ve got another game at the weekend – I’m sure you’ll see a big reaction from the lads and hopefully we get the win.
“[Klopp said post-game] ‘You come to places like this and if you’re not 100 per cent on it and there are little errors here and there, you’re going to get punished.’ We know that.
“All you can do is react and luckily there’s another game in three days and then obviously the Atletico game is another big game.
