Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana admits the players have to take responsibility for the Champions League predicament they now find themselves in. A 2-0 defeat to Red Star Belgrade leaves Jurgen Klopp's side needing a victory against either Paris St Germain in the French capital in three weeks or Napoli at home in their final group game.

At the moment they stay top of the table on six points courtesy of goal difference and there still remain a number of permutations which will see them qualify. However, it would be preferable to avoid an Anfield finale which would require them to beat the Serie A side by two goals to overturn their head-to-head record against Carlo Ancelotti's team. Lallana accepts it is time for the players to step up. "As players we've got to take full responsibility and make sure it doesn't happen again," Lallana said.
