'Disappointed' - Alexander Isak's verdict after Liverpool's defeat at Fenerbahce
Alexander Isak acknowledged Liverpool's performance in the 3-2 defeat at Fenerbahce was below the standards required.
The Reds' perfect record in this season's Champions League ended on Wednesday evening as a result of Vedat Muriqi's 79th-minute winner in Turkiye.
Trey Nyoni had put the visitors 1-0 up midway through the first half, only for that opener to be quickly equalised by a deflected Mason Greenwood free-kick.
Isak restored his side's lead moments after coming on in the second period but Fenerbahce responded again through Archie Brown.
Read on for Isak's post-match interview with Liverpoolfc.com.
On the game...
It's never easy here but today I think we could and should get more out of the game. It's a bit sloppy that we had the lead twice and for us to then lose the game is not good enough. Obviously we're going to be disappointed from that.
On the goals conceded...
The atmosphere is really good and it's tough, of course. So, the one thing you can do to keep them quiet is score goals. So, it's a shame that we conceded quickly and we should capitalise on that. That's where we were lacking today.
On scoring his first Champions League goal for Liverpool...
I was happy with it at the time. I was hoping that it was going to lead to more. I'm always happy to score goals but today we lost, so it takes a bit from it.
On back-to-back defeats...
I think we've put ourselves in good positions, so that today if we lose this game it's not a chaos situation. We just need to get back to winning ways and if we win the next game, we are back to a really good position.
