  4. Brendan Rodgers reactionpublished at 22:14 British Summer Time 28 April 2015

    Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers speaks to BBC Sport: "We just lacked that killer instinct in the final third. We are disappointed with the goal. Apart from that we didn't have too many chances against us. It was poor defending from us. We didn't come out together and Dawson is onside.

    "We were never enough of a threat. It's been a mark of the season really, in that final third we have struggled."

    On leaving three players forward on defensive corners: "It's a tactic to encourage them to bring players back which they did do. It left it numerically fine in the box but you have to be aggressive. We don't come out as a group and that left the central area free, he gets a good header and scores a goal."

    On the race for a top-four spot: "I think that's not the reality of it. Our fight is to perform better through to the end of the season. It was always going to be difficult for us. The opportunity was tough this year in terms of where we were at as a team."

    Hull manager Steve Bruce speaking to BBC Sport: "It is a great victory - make no bones about it. But we have still got a bit to do, I don't think 34 points is enough.

    "We have given ourselves an outstanding chance but that is all it is. We have earned back to back wins and two clean sheets, we showed some of the resilience we have shown over the last few years since I've been here. So it is a big step in the right direction.

    "I always knew we had four matches at home out of our last five, Arsenal and Man Utd at home and also Burnley who are fighting like us.

    "It is never easy in the Premier League against anyone but home advantage can give you an advantage. The win stands us in good stead but we have got Arsenal on Monday night so have to be at our best again."

    Now that looks better doesn't it Hull fans? Many were tipping the Tigers for the drop a couple of weeks ago but back-to-back wins and they suddenly look almost safe. I said almost. One more win could be enough.

    "Hull's defence were excellent - but there were a few questions not asked of them. Well done to Dawson, Chester and McShane - the three of them got close in around Raheem Sterling from the start. He started to think it was not his day and lost confidence. He didn't beat anyone and lost it completely. That's good defending and great organisation from the manager."

    Liverpool remain in fifth in the Premier League but surely their Champions League hopes are long gone? They now face a scrap with Tottenham and Southampton for a Europa League spot.

    Just look at those possession stats. Liverpool had plenty of the ball but they just couldn't do anything with it. It has to be a striker search for the Reds in the summer.
