Most dejected I've seen him and rightly so.
Think he assessed the game correctly but "we didn't manage the game when a player went off". It's his responsibility to get that message across as much as anyone. We didn't even manage the strapping up of the player's head correctly in the first place.
"Their only threat was the counter-attack" well it's their identity and how they choose to play. We could have conceded on numerous occasions before they actually scored. You could see it coming, so in terms of management that's on his shoulders, he could have told one of the players not to join the attack, to double up on Bolasie.
He bemoans the goal we conceded for the second, well everyone and his brother has been saying to drop Johnson/Lovren and Gerrard the 3 players involved in that pathetic moment of the game. Fair enough with the 3rd, don't think it was a foul either on reflection.
Learn your mistakes Brendan and if they can't manage the game, do it yourself. Shout the instructions from the sidelines instead of standing there looking a bit clueless.
