After his side's 3-1 defeat at the KC Stadium to Hull City, Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers, has bemoaned the Anfield club's performance, labelling it "disappointing":
"We were very disappointing today, as we lacked the quality necessary to hold the ball and move their defenders around. I felt that, although we controlled the game, we needed to show more quality to penetrate their defence more often."
"There were too many individual errors today. Despite the fact that two of their goals were deflected, we made mistakes also.
"We gave the ball away in a bad area for the first goal.. then we didn't defend well enough when the ball came into the box. We were too slow and not aggressive enough with our defending. The third one was an own goal, which wasn't good in that aspect."
Rodgers, in particular, highlighted poor defending over the past two weeks as a major problem which will need to be erradicated:
"In our last two games we have conceded six goals. We need to be much better than that, especially on Wednesday night."
"We need to reflect on this. Now we have a massive game on Wednesday night and we must focus in order to pick up three points.
