Reds spirit is key - Downing
Stewart Downing says the camaraderie in the Liverpool dressing room has been a key factor behind the club's solid start to the season.[LNB] The Reds recruited seven new signings over the summer, all of whom have helped the Anfield club collect 13 points from their opening seven matches in the Premier League.[LNB]And England winger Downing, who moved to Merseyside from Aston Villa in July, is pleased with the manner in which the squad has knitted together.[LNB]He told LFC Magazine: "It's a big part of football. If teammates aren't getting on, then you don't tend to do well.[LNB]"If you all do get on, then that can only help you when you step on the field. The boss is into it big and the players have been out for a few meals together.[LNB]"We're still a relatively new group. Some of the lads like Stevie and Carra have been here since day one. A few others like Pepe and Dirk have been here a couple of years, then there's quite a few of us who have only arrived recently. There's a good mix."
