Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho has defended his teammates after their hammering at Tottenham.
Coutinho insists it's not just the back four who were to blame.
He said: “It's not just about the defence, it's about the whole team.
“The first goal started out wide when everyone was involved in defending, not just the wingers or full-backs.
“We have to improve this as quickly as possible in order to win games.
“In more difficult games, like the Tottenham match, that's what decides results. It's those challenges that can make the difference so you have to be more attentive. I think they were goals that could have been avoided — they ended up being silly goals.
“To concede in the first four minutes unsettled us all, then the next goal came after 12 minutes. It's really hard against a strong team when you start like that. I think what we have to do is work hard at dead-ball situations and on balls from the flanks."
