Steven Gerrard: Liverpool aren't good enough.

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]."
