Steven Gerrard talks down his
team, saying they lack firepower and were not good enough to outdo FC Basel in
the Group B deciding match.
The Swiss side wrecked hell in the Reds' home with
Fabian Frei' first-half goal. Brendan Rodgers' side pressured attempt to cap
down Basel was consoled with a late free-kick netting by Captain Steven
Gerrard.
Liverpool disgracefully go down and out of the Champions league
knockout stage while Basel slid beside group leader Real Madrid.
Gerrard
castigated his team's lack of firepower, attributing it to strikers Daniel
Sturridge and Mario Balotelli's absence from the team due to injury.
He told
ITV, "I don't think we deserved better," Gerrard told ITV. "We
have not gone out because of this performance. We weren't good enough away to Basel
and we let in a silly goal away to Ludogorets [Razgrad]."
