Nime copy then nai-paste kama ilivyo, also am very disappointed for yesterday performance
Gerrard, looking visibly disappointed and irked, said that
he expected to win the game against a Basel side he
described as okay.
We were second best at times tonight, he told Sky
Sports post-defeat. Against an okay team. We made it
easy for them. I expected us to win. Its very
disappointing.
They wanted it more, he added.
We created a good few openings but we didnt deserve
anything out of this game. We were too soft all over the
pitch.
Meanwhile, manager Brendan Rodgers wasnt happy with
yet another goal conceded from a set piece.
We defended very, very poorly on the corner and its
not the first time, he told Sky Sports. Its very, very
disappointing we couldnt get something from the game
and the game was decided by a poor defensive corner.
Its something we continue to talk about and look at
and analyse but you have to deal with it on the field and
the key to defending is your first contact with the ball
and we continually dont do that enough.
The boss admitted that his side were never technically
very good tonight.
Asked about Mario Balotellis performance, Rodgers said
[He] worked hard, needs to do more. Mario will be
judged on what he creates and what he scores. He
didnt score [tonight].
Liverpool looked toothless in attack, with youngster
Raheem Sterling suffering an off night and Balotelli
struggling to show any clinical edge.
