On his feelings about the game…
First half I think they were much more comfortable on the ball. We were obviously trying to be more direct, trying to put the problem on their half… because we knew they were looking to get it to our right side and go from there. And I think we weren’t good enough in the first half. Second half I think we were much better, much more dominance on the ball as well at times, and obviously score a worldie of a free-kick.
I think then obviously they will come out more and press even more than they [usually] do and [they] score the equaliser. I think between the equaliser and penalty moment both teams tried to – in my opinion right now, others maybe have a different opinion – go for the winner, and the penalty moment decides the game. That’s the feeling I am having.
On whether he felt Liverpool were in ‘complete control’ after Szoboszlai’s goal…
You are never in complete control against City and especially when City is 1-0 down, they will come and press you even more, they get subs on, they make more runs. If you see how they play, obviously they play with sort of a 4-4-2 with a diamond in the middle so you have to communicate well. When [Antoine] Semenyo is coming in the middle, Milos [Kerkez] has to follow or a midfielder has to take him, so you are never comfortable and you always have to be on your toes I think. Like I said, my feeling at the moment – and maybe I am wrong – is that after the equaliser we were both trying everything to try to score the winner.
