Thiago admits Liverpool must do better after Man Utd

January 18, 2021

Thiago Alcantara admits Liverpool must do better if they want to retain the Premier League title.

The Reds were unable to reduce the gap with leaders Manchester United after a goalless draw against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side on Sunday.

“Without winning, we are never satisfied,” Thiago said. “We made a superb first half, then the second half was 50-50.

“We are happy in some way with our performance – how we did in some moments of the game – but we have to do much better to be on top of the league.”

The Spaniard was also disappointed that Liverpool were unable to convert their chances at Anfield.

“Sure, because we were intense, we were creating the chances that made us closer to winning,” he said. “When we didn’t realise and didn’t make the goals, we’re just getting our self-confidence a bit down and that’s why the game changed a bit.

“At the end, it’s football and in some minutes of the game you are in high emotions and sometimes you are low – it’s part of the game.”
