Adam Lallana: Liverpool must do this like Chelsea to end poor form
LIVERPOOL need to learn how to "win ugly", according to midfielder Adam Lallana.
Adam Lallana says Liverpool must learn to win ugly
Liverpool have won just one of their last 10 games since the turn of the year - against League Two side Plymouth in an FA Cup replay.
The Reds' disastrous form, which includes a five-game winless run in the Premier League, has seen them drop out of the top four and fall 13 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
And Lallana believes Liverpool can learn a lot from Chelsea, who he claims have mastered the art of winning ugly under Antonio Conte.
Jurgen Klopp's side are on a five-match winless run in the Premier League
The west London side have won 19 of their 24 league games this season, losing just twice.
“You can see they have a lot of experience and that they are used to winning,” Lallana said.
“They know how to win games even when not at their best. You don’t have to always win by scoring five or six.
“Maybe that’s an area we need to improve on. We maybe need to realise how good we are at times.
“(James Milner) is probably the only one in our group who has that type of experience because it only comes from winning silverware like he did at Manchester City.
“Myself and the other players haven’t won titles or loads of cups so we need to learn from him and listen to him because that type of experience is vital.
“We need to learn and get back to winning ways in the league as soon as possible.”
