On Bournemouth’s second goal…
After a game, after a moment like that, it’s easy to say, ‘Oh you should have done this or that.’ It’s just a split second. I think now it’s easy to discuss this and say, ‘You should have done this and that.’ I know that’s what will happen. But we decided to keep the ball, because we had the possession, and eventually they had it. Obviously a good ball from them in behind and unfortunately for us the goal we conceded.
On whether the result feels like a ‘missed opportunity’ in terms of the battle for Champions League qualification…
Losing never feels good and especially as a Liverpool player. I think in this season we’re trying to find consistency. We had a fantastic performance in midweek and we were trying to do this today as well. A very demanding game, of course, under the circumstances [with] the intensity that obviously Bournemouth bring anyway. So, it’s a tough one to take but Wednesday will be another game. We go home now and focus on that one.
On the squad’s togetherness…
I don’t think there’s any question about our togetherness. But the consistency that we’re looking for, that’s something that still needs to be found. That’s the reality. I think there was a lot of praise for our performances, a lot of individual praise, and we know how it works and three days later you lose a game like we did today and the other side of the world comes out. That’s something we have to deal with. But we want to perform, we want to win games and today it didn’t happen unfortunately.
