Speaking after Liverpool draw with Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday, Alisson explained why he believes the Reds “need to be patient” to regain their best form.
The stalemate earned the Brazilian and his defense a second successive clean sheet, but it was actually one of the few positives to be taken from another disappointing performance.
It’s a result that leaves Liverpool eighth in the Premier League table after picking up just 29 points halfway through their league campaign.
Alisson believes the nature of the teams struggles means it will take time before they get back into shape.
“I think because of the moment we’re in, everybody wants to change everything immediately, but that’s not the case,” he said LFCTV.
“We have to build our game again, we have to be patient.
“I also want us to change this immediately, but we have to be honest with ourselves, we have to trust the process, we have to keep a positive attitude, stick together and keep working on what we’re working on.”
“We work very hard. Anyone can say we’re not doing what we used to do. We’ll wait for everything to settle down.
“But today, in a really tough game, we kept a clean sheet and we’ll take the positive things we did on the pitch and take them into the next game.”
Liverpool now have a week to prepare for their next game, the FA Cup fourth round tie away to Brighton, where they suffered an ignominious 3-0 defeat earlier this month.
Allison believes the time on the training pitch will come in handy.
“That’s good for us,” he continued.
“We know that with the schedule we have ahead of us, it is not so easy to find time to work.
“Sometimes you just rest and then you have to be ready for the next game, you can’t focus on improving technical things, you just try to fix the situation by telling and showing some situations.
“But now, this week, we’ll have the time to do it and we’ve got to take it and take it into the next game.”
