On why Liverpool lost the game…
Because we conceded a very sloppy second goal. We worked so hard to get back into the game, we created opportunities to score the winner, but if you concede a second goal like that, obviously that’s the disappointing part. I think overall if you look at the game, we were far too rushed, I think we were making wrong decisions and they were also the moments where we were open if we lost the ball. Yeah, a disappointing day.
I think United were obviously very patient. They didn’t press us that high and they let us have the ball. I think we made rash decisions at times where we had to stay maybe a little bit calm. We still created many opportunities to score and win the game. But the reality is that we lost. It’s an interesting time now and we have to stick together – not only us as players but together with our fans and everyone who wants us to win.
On the opening goal…
I think the ball goes long, the first header gets won by a United player, the second header won by me, in that moment obviously I hit Macca [Alexis Mac Allister], he goes down, I go down and that creates the space on my position in behind. I thought from the angle that it was pretty difficult to score but he managed to score. It’s still early on in the game, so there’s still plenty of football to be played. It was good for us to just stay calm but I think we didn’t manage that in the best way and that’s obviously disappointing.
