Matt Beard sends defiant Liverpool message as 'achilles heel' emerges against Leicester

Liverpool boss Matt Beard has insisted his players won't let their heads drop despite this weekend's disappointing defeat to Leicester in the Women's Super League.

The Reds fell behind early on at Prenton Park; Hannah Cain rifling the ball home after a well worked corner routine from the visitors. Leicester almost made it two on the 15 minute mark, with CJ Bott seing her long-range effort acrobatically tipped onto the bar by Rachael Laws.

Liverpool spurned a number of opportunities to restore parity after the break, with substitute Natasha Dowie crashing her headed effort against the bar and Yana Daniels firing over from close range in stoppage time. And the Liverpool boss believes the inability to put chances away has been one of his side's biggest weaknesses this term.
