Liverpool: Mark Lawrenson sees "green shoots of recovery"

Former Liverpool player Mark Lawrenson, who called the Reds "rudderless" just 11 days ago, believes Brendan Rodgers' side are now showing signs of recovery.

Last season's Premier League runners-up moved up to 10th with a 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Sunday to follow up victory in the League Cup in midweek.
"There are signs of the green shoots of recovery," Lawrenson told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Rodgers changed the formation to 3-4-3 and it seems to work much better."
Lawrenson, who won five league titles with Liverpool, had been highly critical of his former club, saying that:

• Some of the manager's selections were mystifying;
• The team were rudderless and low on confidence;
• The Reds did not have a definitive way of playing;
• And his former club were going backwards.

Since those comments, Liverpool have lost 3-0 at Manchester United but rallied to beat Bournemouth 3-1 to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup.
They looked set for an eighth league defeat of the season against Arsenal until defender Martin Skrtel headed in Adam Lallana's corner in added time.
