Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has defended his tinkering with players' roles in the side as he attempts to get more goals out of the team until he can strengthen in January.

Winning run

Rodgers has set his sights on going on a winning run after seeing their eight-game unbeaten record go at White Hart Lane. "Hopefully we can get one or two bits of luck in the second half of the season and benefit from that," he continued. "I respect that they come in and do a good job - it just seems that this season quite a lot has gone against us. "You need a wee bit of luck along the way. We went to Tottenham and dominated the game, but we didn't get the result and that's what's important. "Over the next month or so we've got to turn these performances into wins. We had a run of eight games where we were unbeaten, looked solid and the quality of our game was good. "Now we must go on a run of wins, and that's something we are capable of. If we do that, we can get higher up the table - where I think we should be. "Apart from the opening 15 minutes, the quality of our game last night was at least deserving of a point. "I'm not overly concerned, but we're in the business of results. We want to get as many points as we possibly can. "The mood in the team is very good and the group is very unified. The quality of our games this season has been very good. "We're creating chances - it's just about becoming a bit more clinical. If we can do that, we're strong enough in all areas to go on a good run."
