The Reds looked extremely mid-table against a side they had beaten twice already this season.
Left back Milos Kerkez provided one of the few bright spots as he leveled the game 1-1 in the first half before his side ultimately lost 2-1. After the match, Kerkez said Liverpool were disappointed in their lack of ability to create chances yet again. He felt there were some tired legs and minds after a quick turnaround.
“I think they definitely played good, had more chances. I think we didn’t create as much as we wanted and it was a tough day, definitely. You could see some of us were maybe a bit tired also.
They did good, credit to them. ” Liverpool were not done any favors by the fixture gods, playing Wednesday night before having the early kickoff on Saturday. The Reds were further shorthanded with Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker missing through injury, and Hugo Ekitike needing to be substituted out with an injury after just 7 minutes.
