Liverpool comeback 'frustrating', says Wenger

Monday, December 22 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Reaction from Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger and his Liverpool counterpart Brendan Rodgers after the Merseysiders' centre-back Martin ?krtel scores a 97th-minute equaliser to snatch a 2-2 Premier League draw.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager (Q: Did you think you'd done enough to hold on?)

    "No because they came back. Overall, I think that once they were down to ten men, they were not dangerous anymore but (we) conceded the corner. That was a bit unlucky and where we are guilty (is that) we didn't jump at all with (Martin) Skrtel on the corner and then of course, from then on, we conceded to 2-2. Overall it's a fair result I think over the whole 90 minutes but it's a frustrating result for us because they came back at a moment in the game when we had plenty of defenders on the pitch and could defend much better the set piece."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool manager (Q: What does that comeback saw about the team?)

    "Well it says everything, I think. I think slowly we're getting back to where we want to get to. We've had one defeat in eight I think it is, but I think our performance today was outstanding. I think we're starting to see the passing and intensity and, importantly for us, the pressing in our game is starting to return. So we're disappointed with the goals that we conceded, especially at the end of the first half, but the character and the quality of the team today on a difficult pitch was very very good and, as I said, we played better and dominated more than we did last year when we won 5-1 so I think that tells you everything about the performance."
