Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson says Curtis Jones is growing into a leadership role this season.
Robertson admits Jones has had to step up due to injuries.
After victory at Brentford, he said: "If the neutrals enjoy watching us play, we must be doing something right. But the 1-0 wins are just as important as the 4-1 wins and there are a lot of tough games to come.
"I have always been a senior figure, even in the previous seasons when we maybe had more natural leaders, but now we have young lads who have stepped in, players like Curtis Jones, who are now leaders.
"It is about the collective, about everyone talking, about everyone getting along. We have lost quite a few players who were in the squad last season and, to some of the lads, this is alien to them as they have not done it before. But the experienced lads try to put that across and try to help them."
