"Even if we sign a player and he's not even playing for us he gets injured. Sometimes it feels like that but the moment you start to feel it's all bad luck, it probably comes to you as well so we should keep it away as much as possible and focus on the performance and what we can do to improve it."
"But the amount of times we conceded late goals in extra time is far more than usual. The question is is it bad luck or are we to blame? I've tried many different things. I've made defensive substitutions and the ball went in, I've kept playing the same players and the ball went in. We've tried a lot. I can fairly say we haven't been lucky, that is definitely true."
Liverpool agreed a £60 million deal to sign Jérémy Jacquet from Rennes on deadline day, but the centre-back may now require shoulder surgery after sustaining an injury while playing for Rennes. The bad luck this season has extended even to a player not yet playing for the club. The team has conceded an unusually high number of late goals in extra time despite tactical changes and substitutions failing to prevent them. The campaign has been the toughest in recent management history at the club, and failure to qualify for the Champions League could affect summer transfer business. The full nature of the problems should become clearer over the next three to four months.
