ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY Speaking after the match, our left-back was refreshingly honest about both the performance and the wider disappointment of failing to build on such an encouraging European night.
Kerkez admits Liverpool were second best Referencing the result in his post-match interview with Liverpoolfc. com , Kerkez accepted that Brighton deserved credit and admitted we simply didn’t do enough to control the game. “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. ” The Hungary international also acknowledged what many of us could see from the stands, that the hosts looked fresher and sharper for long periods. “You could see some of us were maybe a bit tired also.
They did good, [so] credit to them. ” Even so, the 22-year-old made it clear he wasn’t interested in leaning too heavily on that as an explanation. “I don’t like this excuse.
We know where we are in the standings in the Premier League and we know we have to push. ” That honesty fits with what Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo also said after the game, both of them admitting once again that we failed to build on a strong result and that injuries disrupted the rhythm of the side. Goal not enough as focus shifts to huge run Kerkez did at least provide one of the few bright moments of the afternoon with a sharp piece of anticipation to equalise in the first half.
