Image source, PA MediaLiverpool assistant manager Scott Rogers: “I thought we deserved a point from the game. We frustrated them for large periods which was part of the game plan and we were dangerous on the counter – we got our goal from Olivia Smith from that kind of situation in the first half.
“We made one or two defensive errors towards the end and they punished us.”
“We limited them to two shots on target in the whole game and we had three, so that tells you a lot about the game. We didn’t have a lot of the ball but I felt we were in control in periods. We knew where they were having the ball and were comfortable.”
On Olivia Smith’s injury: “I’m not too sure at the minute, I’ve not spoken to the medical staff yet. They will assess her, she seemed ok but I haven’t got any more information other than she could not carry on.”
On the end to the side’s unbeaten run: “There are lots of positives to take from it. We are disappointed to lose but we will reflect and try to tidy some stuff up and look where City caused us issues and look forward going into Crystal Palace.
“We have always felt like we can compete with the top teams, as we saw last year. We still believe that on our day we can beat anyone but today was not quite our day.”
