Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers: 'We must make Anfield a fortress again'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says that his team need to make Anfield a "fortress" again following a string of poor results.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that he and his players need to build Anfield back to the "fortress" that it once was.

The Reds have secured victory in just one of their three home games in the Premier League so far this season.

The Merseyside ground has played host to a 3-0 defeat to West Ham United and a 1-1 draw with Norwich City in the last month.

Rodgers's side are currently 13th in the league table, four points behind fourth-placed Leicester City after six games.

"We have to build that confidence through training and games - it is just step by step," Rodgers told reporters. "You have to have courage and bravery to play here. There is a great history but embrace it. You have to play positive football.

"There was a feeling of anxiety when I came in but we made it a fortress. Now we are having to build it again."

Liverpool have scored just four goals in the top flight this season.
