Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara says he is not pleased with result as he calls for improvement for the quest to retain the Premier League.
Thiago made his debut at Anfield against arch-rival Manchester United with out fans in the stadium but was frustrated with the result.
The former Bayern Munich player put in an incredible display in the game, making an eye-catching display and also forcing David De Gea to make a save in the game.
When asked about the point shared, Thiago said, “Without winning, we are never satisfied. 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.
“We were intense, we were creating the chances that made us closer to winning. 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.”
Thiago also credited the display of the club skipper Jordan Henderson and Fabinho on their defensive display against United.
“They did great in every position, they are so versatile. And in the end, if in some actions we can’t defend as we have to, we have a great goalkeeper there behind. There were lots of great saves.”
He also believes that Liverpool will start scoring goals very soon with the likes of players they have in front.
“look at the guys we have in front – not just the big three, let’s say that. We have Div, we have Shaq, we have Taki, we have many players that can score, people in the midfield that can score as well, people from the defence can score. It’s a matter of creating the chances that we are creating to be effective.”
