On feeling like Liverpool were the more likely team to score a winner…<\/p>\n
Yes, I think so. I thought [in the] first half we were excellent and were really in control. I thought actually when we conceded the goal we were the dominant and most in control. [It felt like] it was just a matter of time before we got the second [after we scored]. I’ve been here long enough and I know how Merseyside derbies go and sometimes when you’ve got momentum, sometimes you get punished. I think that’s what we did. We took a little bit of time to recover, and we just had to keep pushing and then a set-piece right at the death, you can’t ask for much better than that and it was great to see the away end react how they did.<\/p>\n
On Rio Ngumoha’s late chance and whether it gave the team belief to go on and score the winner…<\/p>\n
Yeah, that was too early for us so we decided to leave that one! No, Rio had a great chance, which I’m sure he would have hoped to have done better with. But we started knocking at the door a little bit. When you get the set-piece you always believe when you’ve got Virgil and you’ve got Ibou [Konate] in the team, you always believe that they can get on the end of it and thankfully the big man popped up. It’s a massive three points for us.<\/p>\n
On Woodman’s role in the squad and his importance…<\/p>\n
I take the mickey out of him a lot and me and Freddie always have a laugh and a joke but he’s a credit to himself. Since he has come in he has been unbelievable. Whether that’s Mo Salah wanting to stay out and take penalties an hour after training \u2013 Woody is the one that is out there \u2013 or whether it’s running after the game as well. I’ve dragged him out after PSG and he got through it with the lads and he is always there for everyone and always there to support. These people in a club like this are so important. Maybe they don’t always get the credit they deserve and get the limelight or things like that, but when he walked back in the changing room he got a nice reception. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On feeling like Liverpool were the more likely team to score a winner… Yes, I think so.
