'Only dressing room opinions count': Milner on outside criticism

Liverpool's form this season has led to many fans and pundits questioning the team. Many say the Reds are washed, especially after defeats to Forest and Leeds.

But James Milner insists the squad is not affected by what's being said about them.

"Opinions in the dressing room are the only ones that count," Milner said at the press conference ahead of the Napoli game.

"I don't take too much notice whether things are good or bad. Things get blown our of proportion. If you win the first six games, you're going to go the season unbeaten, if you lose a few then you're getting relegated.

"The performances are there in certain games but we've not been consistent enough.

"There's going to be questions and criticism and deservedly so given the standards we've set, but it's so important to stick together. Can we help each other out? That's the main thing. The beauty is the amount of games we have, we can put it right sooner.

"Football always comes back to the same things. In times when things don't go well, there will be criticism and deservedly so. But we have to stick together. Can we help each other, work hard, fix the things we're not doing well and put it right?

"In times where things aren't going well, especially at a massive club like Liverpool, there's going to be questions and criticism and deservedly so. But it's so important we stick together."
