Brendan Rodgers: “The players carried out the gameplan as well as we could have asked them to,” he tells BT Sport. “You have to still be in the game with 20 minutes to go. Defensively we were very, very good but we lacked belief at times and that let us down. We had good chances in the game and we were unfortunate not to nick something. You have to concede that you are playing arguably the best team in the world, they can play through you and around you.”
James Maddison: “We were pushing,” he tells BT Sport. “It’s one of those where, when you’re playing City, you have to take your medicine and just accept they’re going to have the ball for long periods. You just feel like you didn’t touch the ball for 10 minutes. That’s what it’s like against arguably the best team in the world but we were solid, we obviously felt compact, we went with the 5-4-1 shape and limited them to probably as little amount of chances as you can with City. The difference was a moment of brilliance from probably the best player in the Premier League.”
