'Palace wanted it more than us' - Beardpublished at 16:38 British Summer Time 20 October
FT: Liverpool 1-1 Crystal Palace
Liverpool boss Matt Beard speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live after a disappointing performance against Crystal Palace: "We were lucky to get that point, to be honest. I'm disappointed with the whole performance. I think our DNA is work rate, being aggressive and we were so passive today with and without the ball.
"I thought Palace wanted it more than us, we were pulling out of tackles. From that front, we need to get to the bottom of why that is because it's super frustrating. That's not the marker for this team which has been so good for three years now. We're not losing games, we've lost to Manchester City and everyone has lost to Manchester City.
"I can't put my finger on that performance. It reminded me of the Leicester FA Cup quarter-final a little bit last year. I don't know, we just seemed flat today.
"We need to highlight in the debrief people pulling out of tackles. We need to highlight people not recovering or stretching because it can't happen. We have to make sure the players are aware of what's happened but we've still got plenty to do."
