and Joe Gomez says the squad has always had faith
they would perform better.
Joe Gomez insists Liverpool have always been confident in their
potential despite their disappointing start to the season.
Back-to-back Premier League defeats against West Ham United
and Manchester United were followed by consecutive 1-1 draws
against Norwich City and Bordeaux, while Brendan Rodgers'
side required penalties to beat Carlisle United in last
week's League Cup third round.
However, some of the pressure on Rodgers was alleviated
following Saturday's 3-2 win over Aston Villa, and Gomez is
confident the Anfield club can build on that victory against Sion
in the Europa League and in this weekend's Merseyside derby.
"I don't think there was much doubt that we were capable of
performing [that way]," the defender told Liverpool's official
website.
"Everybody is up and positive and just looking forward to the
next game and onto the weekend [against Everton] because
that's a massive game."
Gomez is hoping for further experience in the Liverpool starting
line-up when Sion visit Anfield on Thursday.
"Every game is an opportunity to play and try to prove to the
manager and the coaching staff that you're capable of playing in
the team," added the 18-year-old.
"It's another good experience for me if I get to play and I just
hope that we can get a good result as a team and a win
hopefully.
"When you're not in the team you've got to be ready to come in,
fit straight in and take it in your stride.
"Whoever plays, that's the most important thing, that we try to
continue the momentum from the boys that played at the
weekend and try to get another good result."
