Positive point
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has urged his team-mates to take the positives from their 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.
The Reds were two goals down after 28 minutes but earned a point thanks to Mohamed Salah’s reply and Roberto Firmino’s late equaliser.
Having dominated Mikel Arteta’s league leaders in the second half, the Brazilian hopes the Merseysiders carry their momentum into their clash with Leeds next Monday.
The 30-year-old said: “After the circumstances of the match, we take the point that can help us during the rest of the season.
“We need to start to look as well to the positive things and take the good side.
“For the second half, they didn’t know how to deal with us.
“We have to show more desire every game — as we did in the second half — consistently.
“We know what we have to do. It’s really easy to say but not too easy to make those things happen, football is not anything magic.”
Happy Hodgson
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson wants to see more from his team, despite their 5-1 victory at Leeds on Sunday.
Palace fell a goal behind at Elland Road but stunned their West Yorkshire hosts with five goals in 31 minutes either side of half-time.
The Eagles moved up to 12th in the Premier League table, six points from safety, with Hodgson having an immediate impact with two wins from two since taking the reins until the end of the season.
The ex-England boss, 75, said: “It gives us a nice week’s training but it’s still divorced from the number of points we need to stay in the league.
“There are plenty more performances that we have to produce and the good thing I think is that we won’t need to produce them by pulling rabbits out of hats.
“We need to produce them by making certain we do the right things tactically, defensively and offensively and we show the right determination, which we certainly did second half.
“All we [coaches] are, we’re orchestra leaders. We know the music, we know all the notes but they have to play the tune.”
