00:00Can you just get involved with this as well?

00:04Yeah, a credit to Liverpool.

00:08We're the champions and they've been an outstanding team all year.

00:12Consistent. And again today,

00:16I thought we

00:20started the game well and sort of made things difficult for them.

00:24Apart from the goal, I just thought in general we sort of

00:28decent territory but once they got in front with the atmosphere

00:32in the stadium, it was going to be difficult for us to call them back and that's how it proved.

00:36How much of a concern is there, Ange, that you

00:40seem able to produce these performances against Frankfurt?

00:44It's really impressive. You made changes in the league,

00:46but it looks like the team just isn't able to compete in the same way.

00:50It's not easy on the players.

00:52If you look at Liverpool's line-up, you can almost pick it

00:56and on a weekly basis I have made a lot of changes.

01:00But I just felt they've been necessary.

01:02There's been a lot of our players who've missed a lot

01:04this season with injuries and

01:06it wasn't just about bringing them back but managing their

01:08minutes because obviously we want them ready.

01:10So guys like Mickey

01:12and Romero today could have played

01:14but they've missed so much of the season that

01:16we've just got to be really careful about

01:18when we use them. Guys like Pedro,

01:20Benton Corp, obviously played a lot this year.

01:24So yeah, it's been a juggling act for sure

01:26and that hasn't helped the team, hasn't helped the players

01:28and when you're facing the best, you pay that price.

01:30Did you come through with a thing that helped?

01:34Yeah, no, everyone's got the ones who played

01:38all got through it okay and

01:40yeah, so in terms of Thursday,

01:42everyone should be fine.

01:44No, I don't think so.

01:50I think they're well aware of it

01:52and like I said, we had some key players

01:54missing today who I think

01:56will come in and sort of make sure

01:58that there is any sort of

02:00any hangover from today.

02:02Look, we knew the challenge today

02:04was going to be a big one, especially like I said.

02:06We had a really young midfield

02:08with Lucas and Archie

02:10and you're asking a massive task of them

02:12and so, you know, change three of the back four,

02:16all these kind of things,

02:18logically tell you it's going to be a tough day

02:20but when you're facing the best team

02:22on such a massive occasion

02:24it was always going to be a huge ask for us

02:27and prove too much.

02:29Okay, thank you.
