A 5-2 drubbing of Norwich is Liverpool's only victory in seven Premier League games, while Reading are searching for their first win of the campaign. "You need time. Brendan's philosophy is his philosophy and his players have to get used to the way he wants them to play," said McDermott. "They've played some good football at times and in Luis Suarez they have a world-class player who we have to be aware of. "In our last three games we've been in winning positions so what we need to do is finish the job off. "Going anywhere in this league is a big challenge and a big opportunity so we just want to make sure we enjoy every moment of it and put on a performance."
