Sheffield United 0-2 Liverpool: What Wilder said

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder: “Playing a team that is one of the best in Europe, certainly one of the best in England the Premier League for a number of years - an incredible manager and some fabulous players – I was delighted with the approach and the attitude of the players

"We are disappointed we haven't got something from the game - we knew would be on the back foot but we want to win and we are all in it to do that, first and foremost I asked for a performance and I definitely got that but I'm disappointed we haven't got a result.

“We knew they would have a lot of the ball but our shape was good and I felt comfortable – I think we were unfortunate with the goal. Jack Robinson trips over and they go in 1-0 but we were in the game and we wanted to take it deep which we did. First half we had two or three breakaway counters which we maybe should have done better with."

On a possible penalty for a Ibrahima Konate nudge on James McAtee and Darwin Nunez's challenge on Jayden Bogle in the build-up to Liverpool's second goal: “I can’t see how the centre-half can just push McAtee over in the box and the foul on Bogle, he’s wrapped his legs around him.

"You can say he's got the ball but 20-30 years coming through him to get the ball was allowed - it's not allowed now. That led to the goal and even before that he’s a lucky boy because he’s jumped into Jack Robinson without looking and that's a clear foul. So, yeah, I'm a touch frustrated if I'm completely honest."
