ReactionAlisson Becker assesses Reds' defeat at Wolves
Alisson Becker described the frustration and disappointment in Liverpool’s dressing room following Saturday’s defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Reds fell to a 3-0 loss at Molineux in the Premier League, with the hosts forging into an early two-goal lead through Joel Matip’s own goal and a Craig Dawson strike. Ruben Neves completed the scoring in the second half.

On what went wrong for Liverpool…
I think it happened the same as we have done in the other games. We are not having consistency at all – I mean consistency [of] playing 90 minutes really focused and doing everything that we have to do on the pitch. The first 15 minutes, we started the game not in a good way and we get punished for that, conceding two goals. We are not in the situation where we are confident, that confident to come back, but we tried. We did a good second half and then we concede again: you don’t score and you concede again, so it’s completely frustrating from my side.
On how big a setback the performance and result is…
It looks like in the game we were two steps behind in the first 15 minutes and then we make one step forward. So we still need to do more steps because of the result. The step forward was the performance of the second half, it changed a lot, it was two completely different sides if you watch the game and we have to take that for the next game – using the chances that we have and stop conceding silly goals.
On whether everyone is together and determined to put things right…
Yeah, we are. We are, definitely.
On whether it is realistic for the Reds to still target Champions League qualification…
We have to think on the next games, that’s what we have in [our] hands. We are not in a position to think too much about what we can do at the end of the season, we have to think about what we can do better now and to win the next game that is in front of us. That’s it.
