Every word Ange Postecoglou said on Emerson and Romero bust-up, Richarlison impact and positives

What did you make of the performance overall?

Obviously a hugely disappointing outcome for us but at least we were more like ourselves today in terms of our football. Our last two away games at Newcastle and Chelsea, apart from the results which weren't great either, we just didn't try and play our football. I thought today, even in the first half, some of our football, our pressing was back to where it should be. We lacked a real sort cutting edge for sure. We had nothing in that front third and that allowed Liverpool to get comfortable.

The flip side of that was when they got forward and into the front third their guys were quite lethal on pouncing on our mistakes. At 4-0 we've got a mountain to climb but again when we play like ourselves we always finish strong because we put pressure on the opposition and it eventually takes its toll. We got a couple of goals and we maybe could have had a couple more. It's disappointing but at least we tried to play and looked like a version of ourselves which gives me something to work with.

Is it a confidence thing?

Maybe in the front third there is. Like I said, I thought our football was good today. Under pressure they are a really good pressing team and we played some good stuff to get through them and then we get to the front third and nothing would happen. It probably is a bit of a lack of confidence but again that's something the guys have to work through.

You have to find a way to overcome that because ultimately if you don't put pressure on the opposition in the front third after you've worked your way up there, they're going to get comfortable with their position. It's probably a little bit of that but we've got to find a way to snap out of that because it's not going to
