Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, has claimed that his team did enough to defeat Manchester United on Sunday.
The Reds were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie. Goalkeeper David De Gea pulled off some stunning saves to deny Raheem Sterling and Mario Balotelli.
“I thought we did enough to win the game,” Rodgers told Sky Sports 1. “We created enough chances to win the game but we also made defensive mistakes.
“It probably epitomised our season, we’re not prolific enough in terms of goalscoring. I think David De Gea was man of the match, that doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen him have four or five games like that.
“The first half we were the better side but we can’t concede the goals we did. We nearly went in front and they broke up the other end and got a goal, we lost a runner from midfield which you can’t do.
“It’s easy, we know what the solutions are but we have to keep working and hopefully the confidence will return. At least we created the opportunities and if we can cut out the mistakes we’re going to be in with a chance of winning more games.”
