Ange Postecoglou's reaction

Liverpool fully deserved the victory, they were the far better team. We weren’t able to get a grip on the game, defensively or with the ball. They were too good for us.

We allowed them to get into the game. We didn’t start the game off on the right foot and we weren’t as aggressive as we needed to be. We allowed them to get comfortable and once that happened it was very difficult for us to wrest control back.

We needed to be braver with and without the ball. It’s easier said than done at a place like this against a very good Liverpool team.

I’m disappointed we didn’t give a better account of ourselves. The players are the same – we had a great opportunity and unfortunately we didn’t grab it.

There’s still plenty to play for. We’ve got a big game at Villa on Sunday and that’s where our focus goes.
