Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain speaks out over 'not perfect' Liverpool situation

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain admits Liverpool have made a 'not perfect' start to the season but predicts 'good things' to follow.

The Reds ended their 30-year wait for a league title last year, but were unable to retain their crown the following season.

They're currently third in the standings this term, four points behind leaders Chelsea and one point behind title-holders Manchester City.

Oxlade-Chamberlain believes that, despite not leading the way at the Premier League summit, they're currently a better team than in previous campaigns.

"I think we're a better team now for sure," he told the BBC's Football Focus.

"The season we won the Premier League was amazing and the season before was really good.

"But I feel like that's set our levels and our bar very high now whereas I think we were achieving new things and seeing where we could go.

"I think now that's the level we're at, we're in a good position at the minute.

"Not perfect, not what we would've wanted, but I think we've been in a similar position before where we're chasing and we let the handbrake off and just go for it.

"I think we can achieve good things from this point."

Oxlade-Chamberlain has already made 14 appearances in all competitions so far this season and has been involved in the last five league games.
