Georgiono Wijnaldum admitted that they received a reality check against Napoli and and pinpointed where the Premier League giants must improve ahead of the Premier League clash against Manchester City.
“You’re always disappointed when you lose a game,” he said as quoted by Liverpool Echo. “We didn’t play well and they deserved to win.
“They were calmer than us on the ball, they defended well and stopped us creating chances. It was not a good day for us. They deserved to win.
“It’s a good game to learn from. That’s what we’re going to do – we’re going to analyse the game and see what we can do better.
“We know what we can bring, we still have confidence. But this was a reality check on how things must not go. It’s a good lesson for us to get better. We have to take it as a lesson and then we have to carry on.”
“We wanted to rush things and play football, instead of keeping the ball and waiting for the moments,” the midfielder added.
“They did well; they were calm and played the ball around and waited for the moments. That’s why they were so good.
“We have done it better this season, so we can do it – but we have to do it every game. That’s why we’re all so disappointed, because we expect more and to bring more. It didn’t happen but we still have four games to go.”
