NEIL WARNOCK:
“The lads did really well,” began Neil following the final whistle. “We wanted to give Liverpool a game and attack them when we could. We didn’t want to just sit back and have a boring 0-0, but they’re just a good side and there’s not a weakness in their team or on their bench.
“I did feel that we could get something, but one bit of slack marking from a corner demonstrated the quality that they’ve got and I thought it was a soft penalty.
“We’re still fighting and I’m really proud of them because I couldn’t fault one. They really gave their best and when you’re coming up against such quality, it’s great to give them a game and give the fans exciting moments because we knew we were going to be under the cosh for large parts it.
“We have such a great group and started with nine out of 11 players from the last season’s Championship against a team who’ve spent a lot of money, but Liverpool are a great team with a lovely attitude."
He continued: “I thought the whole Club was fantastic and the noise that the fans generated was great.
“We’ve made it interesting and it was nice to surprise a few by beating Brighton and now we’ve got to surprise them again. One-by-one we keep surprising people, so who’s to say what’s around the corner in this year’s Premier League because there’s so many twists and turns.
"It’s a fabulous league.”
