Carragher: Liverpool showing necessary steel

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was full of praise for his old team in their victory over Southampton.

Brendan Rodgers' side are now 10 games unbeaten in the Premier League.

"It was (a proper away performance from Liverpool), and a lot of that came from Southampton, who forced and pushed them back," Carragher said on Sky Sports after the match.

"What I've liked from Liverpool, today and midweek (against Besiktas in the Europa League), is that they weren't at their best in terms of how they've played with this new system, but they've fought and got a victory. They haven't played great, but they won.

"In the last few months since that Manchester United game, when things changed - the system, the performances and the results - they've been superb. The last two games they haven't been like that, but they've won. That's going back to the Liverpool I know when I played. Every time they play, you think they're going to keep it tight."
