Liverpool vice-captain Andy Robertson hopes the team can find the answers to their recent struggles "sooner rather than later" as they look to turn around their Champions League last-16 tie against Galatasaray.

The Reds lost the first leg 1-0 last week after Mario Lemina's first-half header, marking the second time they lost to the Turkish opponents this season, also losing in the group phase (also 1-0).

Liverpool's recent performances in the Premier League have not fared much better, with a 2-1 defeat to bottom-side Wolves followed by a 1-1 draw with struggling Tottenham on Sunday.

Arne Slot's side are still in a good position to qualify for next season's Champions League, while they are also in the last eight of the FA Cup, though Robertson admitted improvements are needed.

"It's a frustration. We are all frustrated by the fact that we can't find that consistency because last season that's probably what set us apart from everyone else in the league," said the Scottish left-back.

"Time is running out, games are running out, but we have got a chance Wednesday night to get to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which would be good for us.

"We are still in the FA Cup, and we have to sort out our league form. That's obvious.

"We won't give up trying to find the answers to that, and hopefully, we find them sooner rather than later."

Liverpool have lost twice against Galatasaray already this season – the last team to beat the Reds three times in the same campaign was West Ham in 2015-16 (twice in the Premier League, once in the FA Cup).

However, Slot is confident that Liverpool can turn the tie around in front of their home fans at Anfield.

"It's difficult because we have played twice against them and lost twice against them," said Slot.

"The good thing for us is that it is the first game we play at home [against them] and we have the support of our fans, which will be supportive again because that is what they have always been and will always be for this club."
