Ten Hag: Liverpool deserved to win, and we will fight for titles

Manchester City coach Erik Ten Hag appeared in press statements after the 3-0 loss to Liverpool in the third round of the English Premier League.

The coach said: “ We made mistakes and they were very decisive in finishing the attacks. They did a very good job. It is clear that Liverpool deserved to win. We have to be humble, accept this and improve our game."

On whether Liverpool's attackers were allowed to run towards their defence: "I don't think so. If you see all the chances we had, I don't think that's what happened. We made mistakes. They were all individual mistakes. It's probably the last mistake you can discuss where our double was." Liverpool had a great performance but the goals we conceded were not high.”

On replacing Casemiro: “This is what the team needs as you know when you are 2-0 down Against Liverpool, you have to take more risks. The game will be open. When you lose, you have to take more risks. You have to keep fighting and sticking together. He is a great player and we will continue this season to improve the team and the players /p>

He added: “Casimiro has improved and shown a lot that he is a wonderful personality. We all saw great moments from him and he was decisive in midfield. It will show again and he will return to his level.”

He continued: “The match was open at times and we took risks. But I don't want to talk about this after the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. We have to congratulate Liverpool. We have to be humble and accept it, there are many games to play and I know where we will be at the end of the season. We will strive to win titles. This will remain.”

He concluded: “Over the past two years, we have won two titles, and we will see where we will be at the end of the season. We have brought in new players. There are still some players unavailable. The competitor may be a little ahead in some areas, but we will catch up and come back. I don't want to talk about the good things today. We lost 3-0. We have to stand up and get back on the right track.”
