“It is a difficult place for anyone in the world. They set incredible standards, they dominate every aspect of the game, “he told Sky Sports.
“Taking the lead put us in a really strong position to believe more that we could get something out of the game.
“We gave in too early, on a mistake. In the second half we corrected some things, we were much better. We still had some problems with the ball and we had the best chance in the game and when it comes to Anfield you’re not going to get 10 chances.
“When you pass one on one against the goalkeeper, you have to score if you want to get something out of the game.”
