Harvey Elliott insists "this season feels different" for a new-look Liverpool as they aim to make it six straight wins
The Reds beat LASK 3-1 in the Europa League on Thursday to extend an unbeaten run that started in April to 17 games
Jurgen Klopp has spoken enthusiastically about what he has referred to as "Liverpool 2.0" who are in "year one" of their development.
Elliott agrees with his manager's assessment and says he and his colleagues are looking to be as helpful as possible as Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo continue the fledgling stages of their Anfield careers.

"This season feels different, the hunger and desire, and we just need to keep putting in these performances and keep coming away with three points,"
"We are just trying to bed [new players] into the team and try to make them fee welcome as quickly as possible and try to show them the Liverpool way.
"We are a team and whoever steps up plays and you have to know what it means to play for Liverpool and they have got that instantly. We just need to keep bedding them in and keep making them feel welcome.
"It is healthy competition, we just need to keep driving each other on. When I come off the bench I need to try to make an impact, give it 100% and try something different.
"Like [against LASK], when the chances come you need to take it and give it your all. It's one of those things, you have to keep going and trying to get those chances.
“It's a tough one to get my head around still being so young but we all need to play our part. We want to step up this season and that's exactly what I'm trying to do each and every game.
"I'm trying to put in the performances and put the hard work in for the team and help others around me, try to bring them up if they are feeling down.
“It is a team at the end of the day and the quicker we become a team and have those relationships with one another and become a family then the better and more successful we will be quicker.
"We just need to keep being a team, keep mixing among each other, keep learning off each other and have those relationships we want because it helps on the pitch and it works on the pitch. The quicker and earlier we can do that the best possible outcome we will have."
Elliott added:
"Everyone in the team has achieved great things and you want to play a part and to have these world-class players around me and high-profile players that have won loads of trophies and competitions is a dream come true to be learning off them.
"I try to allow them to learn off me if there is anything they need to learn but at the end of the day to be playing among them and be around them is unbelievable and I'm so happy to be here and to put on a shirt and go out and play.
“I think it is just everyone, everyone takes responsibility if someone is feeling left out you go sit with them or call them over.
"It's part of our policy: no-one eats alone, no-one is alone in the changing room or when we go for walks. We do everything as a team and it reflects on the pitch."
