Martin Skrtel has said that he is convinced Liverpool's all-round performances will steadily improve after their narrow 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Monday.

Back-to-back victories over the Cherries and Stoke City have given Brendan Rodgers's side a perfect start to their new campaign, but Skrtel said that displays will eventually get better after the two slender victories.

He told his official website: "I must admit [Bournemouth] were lively and dangerous, played well and had a couple of good chances.

"We have many new players and it takes some time to get used to each other – it can take some time until things click.

"But I have no doubt that things will improve and that we will improve."

Liverpool travel to Arsenal on Monday evening.
