Liverpool’s Bogdan accepts blame for Watford goal

“For Liverpool to win they have to play good football, they have to play the way they played against Manchester City”, Barnes said.

The Reds suffered a resounding defeat at Vicarage Road after Nathan Ake broke the deadlock inside two minutes for the hosts before Odion Ighalo scored either side of half-time.

He said: “We need more battlers because we’re getting out-fought”. “That’s football. The reaction has to be better”.

“I would say hopefully it’s the most disappointing moment in my Liverpool life from now on”, he told reporters after the game.

“There’s no problem, you just have to react to the maximum and that’s what we have to work on”. It was a mistake and I will learn from it. “I don’t blame the referee or anyone else”.

Following the game we took to social media to see how Can’s performance went down with fans.

“After Southampton, everybody thought “wow”, and after Man City”. We were playing at home, so they’re the one that has to be afraid because we’ve come back from three wins and they’re the ones that need to win.

“Today we saw the complete other side and maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle”.

“But of course it depends on the players, we create like a collective”.

“It’s not that bad”.

It enabled Bogdan to make his full league debut, but the Hungary worldwide made a nightmare start, fumbling Ben Watson’s corner and allowing on-loan Chelsea left-back Ake to stab the ball over the line.

Liverpool looked a soft touch without powerful Belgian striker Christian Benteke, who Klopp dropped to recall Roberto Firmino.

Watford strike duo Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo praised the team performance which led to a 3-0 triumph over Liverpool.

Klopp conceded that with hindsight he may have selected a different starting line-up, but in the same breath defended his right to rotate his squad. We have a lot of matches to play.

“I know when he gets the ball, he will play it behind the defence”, added Ighalo, which was just what happened.

“The errors are so basic – from the keeper to the players in front of him – and teams keep capitalising on that”. But if I catch the first one it’s not a goal.
