LIVERPOOL DEFENDER ANDY Robertson said the Premier League champions are “not in the title race” after a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Brighton.
Jurgen Klopp’s men struggled to break down the visitors and Steven Alzate scored the only goal of the game in the 56th minute.
It was Liverpool’s second consecutive league defeat at Anfield after a 68-game unbeaten run at home and leaves them seven points behind leaders Manchester City, who also have a game in hand.
“Brighton were the better team,” said the Liverpool left-back. “We were hugely disappointing all over the park.
“You have to give the team credit for playing well. They created chances, pressed us — did everything we wanted to do.
“We didn’t really do anything of note. With a long record of going unbeaten we’ve lost two. When you don’t show up you don’t get results.”
The Scotland international said Liverpool, who host Manchester City on Sunday, must find a way to get results.
“Any game against Man City is a big one,” he said. “As this moment stands, we’re not in the title race. We are seven points behind them and they have a game in hand.”
“We’re still a good team,” he added. “We don’t turn into a bad team overnight.”
Doesn’t matter we are going to win anyway simple!!!!
@rowan hill: And ye call leinster fans cocky!
@Bazalicous Dunne: They are going to win, Toulouse are 9th in the Top 14 right now and are terrible when playing away from home.
@Rudiger McMonihan: I do agree to be fair.. munster by 18.
Bonus having David out but with Bezy fit and Dusautoir rested it’s looking more and more like Toulouse could be up for this one; here’s hoping Rassie saves the best for this
Tough for Toulouse to compete when Munster can just sign up Springboks whenever someone gets hurt
@garland greene: indeed, Toulouse are well known as being the paupers of European rugby.
@garland greene: u must have been abused by a south african as a child
@garland greene: this is why we need red thumbs, because of tools like garland greene and all his previous incarnations.
@Padraic Courtney: Disagree. Garland is exactly the reason we don’t need red thumbs, they are his viagra.
Tbh lads I think I play moreno lb and milner to replace lallana. You’ll have two players who know the position so klopp won’t have to teach anyone a new position in the next 3 days and Everton won’t be as threating down the rigth with coalman’s injury. Give moreno these next few game and if he can’t cut it get rid.
@Lorcán Coyle: why the he’ll did my comment end up here. Sort it out.
@Lorcán Coyle: I know your comment ended up in the wrong section but I’d say Henderson will come back in for Lallana…
