Liverpool legend Phil Thompson insists that the team need to be prepared to change things when their formation is not working following two Premier League defeats in a row.

Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has called on Brendan Rodgers to be more flexible with his tactics following the club's last two defeats in the Premier League.

Rodgers had used a seemingly successful 3-4-2-1 formation during a 14-game unbeaten run, but the Reds have now lost two games in a row to Manchester United and Arsenal.

"The system is okay, but certain teams have sussed it out, and Brendan needs to be brave enough to switch to 4-4-1-1 – or whatever he thinks is best at that moment – to stop these games getting away from them," said Thompson, according to Sky Sports News.

"My biggest concern is that – after 15-20 minutes, if it's not working – it needs to be changed.

"As we seen in the Manchester United and Arsenal games, if you wait to half-time to change a system that is being exploited, then you're liable to fall behind before the break."

The Anfield club currently hold fifth spot in the top flight of English football.
