Liverpool striker Danny Ings is having to be patient as he waits for his competitive debut after being denied his first appearance by a wonder strike last weekend.

The summer signing from Burnley had been given the nod to come on by boss Brendan Rodgers at Stoke last weekend, but as the 23-year-old warmed up his Brazilian team-mate Philippe Coutinho, he was due to replace, smashed in a brilliant winner.

"It is important you keep that strong mentality as it is important you are positive around the group," he told LFCTV GO. "I come in every day with a smile on my face because I know I'm working with good people and fantastic players."
